Every day I carry something in my pocket that is in desperate need of improvement, I believe I have found that improvement and hope that it will benefit others. How many headphones have you broken by snagging the wire and something and ripping it out of the speaker or ear bud? Personally my count lyes at somewhere around five. I was tired of this happening so I came up with a quick easy fix that anyone can do and save yourself money. So if you have a trusty pair of ear buds of headphones you carry with you do this to them, you will be glad you did.
