Tembo Trunks CordCtrl Headphone Cord and Cable Wrap Management System - Black

 

 

Have you ever wondered why your earphones won’t stop making out with your keys, with the headset of your phone or even with itself? Well as a matter of fact, it has more to do with dull science than with passionate love, the tangle phenomenon is closely related to the so-called triangle theory. Most likely it has something to do with the chaos theory – which sounds reasonable considering what the cord tangle looks like and how it feels in your brain when sorting it out.

CordCtrl made of 100% silicone and a lot of affection. Simply wrap the headphone cord around the cordctrl and lock it at both ends by sliding the cord into the slots. It works specifically with the headphones of iPod and any other cords of similar dimensions. Read More

Tembo Trunks TTWhite Portable MP3 Player Headphone Speaker Amplifiers, Ruby Red (Pair)

Thought of and designed while traveling through the rugged terrain of the African continent, the Tembo Trunks collapsible silicone earbud cones are the perfect solution to sharing your iPod’s music without having to carry around bulky speakers. By using simple horn acoustics, the Tembo Trunks amplifies the sound from your iPod’s earbuds to 80dB of clarity enhanced stereo sound. This simple, yet brilliant, design is ideal for sharing music in a casual setting. While they are not designed for party settings or anywhere you would like to listen to music to loudly, the Tembo Trunks are perfect for traveling, camping, enjoying a day at the beach, in your bedroom, hotel room, office, or anywhere else where you don’t want to where earphones but still would like to enjoy some tunes.

Tembo Trunks do not require any batteries nor do they require a power cord to work. All you need is an iPod or iPhone and the white earbuds that come with them. Traditional speakers consist of potentially damaging metals, toxins, plastics, glues, and batteries that can be considered environmental hazards if not manufactured or recycled properly and responsibly. Made from 100% non oil based, high-grade silicone rubber (which the manufacturer agrees that this may not be the greenest product ever) the Tembo Trunks require no assembly, are designed to last and could potentially be considered a better alternative to traditional speakers. You never have to worry about blowing out your Tembo Trunks and have to purchase expensive replacements. Read More

It can powered by the built-in solar panel, winding using the built-in hand crank, through the use of three AA batteries or with a plug-in adapter (batteries and power adapter sold separately).

Typical applications for this radio are for use while traveling, camping or hiking – and it would even be a great source of acquiring information during a black out or power outage. It also has a built-in LED flashlight. You can access AM, FM and Weather Band frequencies and dial it in with a backlit sliding channel panel. Use the radio out loud with the 2.5-inch speaker or you have the option to plug in some headphones.
