When it’s time to plug my earbuds into my iPhone—whether to take a phone call or listen to some tunes—the last thing I want to do is waste time unraveling the Gordian knot the cable has worked itself into while jostling around my pocket. And yet, inevitably, that’s what I end up doing. SendStation’s $13 earBuddy imposes order on the chaos by squeezing an ABS reel into a tiny keychain-sized case. Wind up the cable, close the surprisingly durable-though-still-1-ounce case, and attach it to yourself with the included keyring. Your earbuds will always be close at hand—and untangled, to boot.—PHILIP MICHAELS
