Intention:

The intention of this project is to create an earphone holder than is small and can be conveniently placed by your bed. It is compact and holds the earphones in a way that they do not get tangled but at the same time are easily accessible and can be pulled up on the go. I would normally throw my earphones on the ground after using them late at night (not a good idea for long term use) or sleep on them causing them to break. This project allows me to easily store them without fumbling for the earphones early in the morning when I am late for class.

Research + Context:

My research could not find any product serving a similar function. There were headphone holders designed for larger over ear headphones or small earphone holders around which the wires of the earphones could be coiled and organized. These did not serve my purpose as the headphone holders were too large and since there is limited space in the dorm room, there is no place to keep the headphone stand next to my bed. The earphone holders themselves were very small and designed to be mobile but the process of coiling the wire around them was extremely time consuming and every action of coiling or uncoiling was not something I was interested in doing every time I wanted to organize my earphones. This custom product could combine the functionality of both an earphone holder and a cord organizer into a compact size.
