One of the concerns for some people when it comes to using headphones is that the wires can sometimes get entangled and can be quite a chore to straighten out now and then.

There have been several alternatives now offered to make such headphones more convenient to use. One of those offered is the concept provided by the ODDIO1 Cord Free Headphones for the iPod Shuffle.

It also comes with a slot outside the ear cup where the iPod Shuffle can be securely placed. The housing allows users to easily access the buttons as well. Just simply plug in the iPod Shuffle with the accompanying jack on the headphone and it is good to go.
The ODDIO1 Headphones offers iPod Shuffle users to enjoy a simple wireless music listening. This makes it an ideal and affordable headphone to use for active people as well as those who just want to do away with the wires for a change. The ODDIO1 Headphones are currently being offered as a Kickstarter project and requires reaching a certain amount threshold to begin pre-production. Interested parties can pledge US$ 35 to be able to get one if ever it gets into the production stage. It is expected to retail for around US$ 50 afterwards.

Apple iPod Nano recall of earliest model: If you find yours, get a new one free
By Rob Waugh
Last updated at 11:52 AM on 16th November 2011
Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveils the first-generation iPod Nano: Now Apple says some early models may have a battery malfunction – and is offering free, new replacements to owners
It’s one of the oddest product recalls in some time.
Apple has warned that the batteries on iPod Nano can catch fire – but only on the VERY oldest models.
One might imagine that a Nano that has stood the test of time since 2005-2006 when the first generation of the slim devices was on sale would be safe – but Apple thinks not.
The defect discovered in the batteries gets worse over time.
So much so, in fact, that the company is offering a replacement, new iPod Nano – a serious technological upgrade which adds a touchscreen, an FM radio and a pedometer to the rather basic Nano that late Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched six years ago.
All you have to do is remember where you put your six-year-old MP3 player.
It’s not clear what incident sparked the current recall – there have been unconfirmed and highly isolated reports of batteries overheating, but not exactly an epidemic.
In a statement, the company said that,’Apple has determined that, in very rare cases, the battery in the iPod nano (1st generation) may overheat and pose a safety risk. Affected iPod nanos were sold between September 2005 and December 2006.’
‘This issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect. While the possibility of an incident is rare, the likelihood increases as the battery ages.’
What you get: The replacement iPod Nano is a new model that can clip to a watch strap, and also features a colour touchscreen, FM radio and pedometer
‘Apple recommends that you stop using your iPod nano (1st gen) and follow the process noted below to order a replacement unit, free of charge.’
Apple says serial numbers will be checked to ensure the units are affected – you can check via their website.
Replacements will be issued within six weeks.
