The EarPod prevents that tangled mess of wires
The Original EarPod features a clever and easy-to-use design for a universal problem: tangled earphone wires! I shove them into my pocket, wrap them around the iPod, leave them on a table and the result is always the same: a knotted, tangled mess that requires two minutes of untangling.
With the EarPod, things can be much easier. You simply rest the earbuds in the felt-lined "pod", close the rotating door, and then wrap the cord around the "channel" of the EarPod. The wire notches and wire grooves ensure that nothing comes undone once you've tossed the EarPod into your purse, pocket, or car.

Organize your earphone wires with the EarPod earbud case.
Use the EarPod to shorten the wire
You can use the EarPod for more than just neatly storing your earphones. It can also shorten the length of the wire to keep your earphones within easy reach of the iPod. Keep in mind that the EarPod can work with any set of earphones, not just the ones that come with iPods.

It's easy to use the EarPod to roll up the slack on your wire.
Yes, the belt clip is removable
Some people love to hang every possible piece of electronics from their belt. They've got phones, PDAs, multi-tools (ya' know, for when you need to strip electrical wire when you're out and about), mp3 players, etc. We once saw someone with a cellphone armband because they had run out of room on their belt.
So, if you're someone who loves to keep items on your belt, you'll be pleased to know that the EarPod includes a belt clip. However, if you prefer using your pockets, it's nice to know you can remove the belt clip.

You can easily remove the belt clip if your fanny pack is taking up the bulk of your usable waist real estate. Actually, if you have a fanny pack, please take it off. Set it aside in the pile with all of the other items that should have been buried in your 1993 time capsule. We don't care what Louis Vuitton is trying to push down our throats, fanny packs are weak. Phew, that was a long caption.

Q: Do these fit other ear buds besides the standard iPod ear buds? For example, the various in-ear sound-deadening styles. I suppose I need to know the depth of the cavity for holding the earpieces.

Q: Wait I don't like to read, I don't get how it's held in when you take the ear budds out of the middle... like is it just wrapped around like a bobbin and thread or is it sticky? or are there grooves?
A: If you don't like to read, you should check out our photos and video! You'll see exactly how the earPod works. The earbuds are held in the middle and the cord is wrapped around a channel on the outside as if wrapping it around a wheel. It is not sticky at all. There are notches to hold the ends of the cord.

Q: Could these things hold two pairs of ear buds?
A: We doubt it because they would have to be incredibly small. As you can see from the photos, one standard pair fits quite snug so they can't move around.

Q: Will my IE40's by M-Audio fit in this?
A: Our manufacturer thinks these will fit. However, without knowing the exact dimensions of your earphones, we can't say if they will fit in the earPod for sure. Most standard earphones will fit in the earPod Earphone Case.
