Simple yet very effective. I agree, why has it taken so long for this easy solution to an age old problem? Now if the earphones sound halfway decent, the flat cabling should catch on...unless it's been patented.
Totally gibbersome, when I saw the article title the first thing that came to mind was finally. I am sure the sound quality will be at least decent. I still question why this was not presented when cable's still made an impression market wide. It would have seem to make better sense.
Um this isn't exactly new? The in-ear Beats by Dr. Dre (aka monster cable) have had the flat cable since July 2008? So this is nothing new. Granted these come a lot cheaper than the beats but the beats obviously make for MUCHHHHHHHHH better quality earbuds than these do. Sorry but sound and build quality will always come before a tangle free cable or a nice carrying box -_-
Good idea with the flat cable. With hearing aids in my ears already, I have to use over the ear headphones though.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Sounds like a terrible idea to me. Why did you guys compare this to an HDMI cable? They are used in two totally different ways. For one, the HDMI cable does NOT move. Headphones however need to be flexible and move easily. I could see these as being a nuisance seeing as how they bend in one direction. I hope this is not the future for headphone cables.
