According to the Experts

Tangled is usually how they (earphones) end up, and the next time you go to use your iPod, spend a couple minutes untying earbud knots.  The earPod allow you to store your earbuds tangle-free and they work quite well.

The earPod does exactly what it promises to do.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to people who want to protect their earphones. It’s solid and well-made, and for $9.99 won’t break your wallet.
