CableYoYo Pop & Wrap Earbud Organizer

We took a look at something similar to this gadget earlier called the Cordster. This earbud organizer looks to be a better solution considering that you don’t have to stick it to your MP3 player permanently. It uses a suction cup instead. However, this non-permanent solution is shot if you player does not have a smooth surfaced back unlike the Zen Vision:M, which has a crazy concentric circle ripple in the back plate. Have no fear, they also include adhesive for cases like this.

The designed stickers are well done, the idea behind is also pretty cool.

I like it.

I just bought this for my headphones (Shure e3c's) and they're decent. I prefer using the clip, but the suction cup has some give and the stem assembly is glued (you can see the glue stretch) to the plate where the sticker goes. It's not the best thing for thick cords like the Shures because you can't wind it all the way around to clip your earbuds. The clips for the buds are also a bit flimsy and sharp, but only time will tell if they break off or wear away the insulation on the headphone wire.

Overall, 3.5 out of 5 for design, execution, and weight but knocks for the clips and the inability to accomodate thicker-cord headphones. In context, I would rate the sumajin smartwraps a 4 out of 5 for simplicity, execution, weight, and accomodation of thicker-cord headphones but no belt clip.

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
