Budsnaps arrive on Kickstarter, a simple way to stop your earbuds from falling out of your ears

A new project has arrived on Kickstarter called Budsnaps, that claims to be able to stop your Apple earbuds from falling out of your ears when moving around. Anyone who uses Apple?s iconic white earbuds will instantly recognise this problem and now there could be a really simple solution to stop them falling out.

I bought all kinds of earbuds of all shapes, sizes and prices - and not one worked for me. They either fell out or they were uncomfortable and for many the sound quality was poor. So, I set out to solve the problem myself. I'm not a designer but I have a creative mind and I was determined to find a solution. I worked through a heap of different prototypes using all sorts of materials from metal, plastic, string, magnets and many more. Eventually I hit up on the final design and found someone who could get the idea from my head, on to a computer and then run some prototypes. We now have patents pending on a number of clever design features. The prototypes turned out great - they worked!!!

This simple design totally transforms your listening experience. You can do the most vigorous exercise (workout, jog, cycle, yoga etc.) or just simply sit and chill knowing that your iPhone earbuds are going to stay in place. Not only do the iPhone earbuds stay in, but the budsnap can be moved up and down the earbud and therefore located anywhere on your ear to ensure the sweet spot for the best sound is found and kept. Other budsnaps benefits also mean you can continue to wear your glasses or earrings and they are hygenic too - just wash them off after a hectic workout.

The Budsnaps will be available in different colors and work specifically with the original Apple white earbuds and also with the recently revamped Apple EarPods. If you love using your Apple buds and want to use them when working out or moving around then the Budsnaps could be for you.

If you want to get involved and become one of the first to get your hands on the Budsnaps, you can make a pledge on the projects Kickstarter page. A pledge of $10 will get you a white set if it makes its funding target. It currently sits at just over $1K of pledges from its funding total of $11.5K; the project still has 39 days to go.

What do you think about the Budsnaps? Could you see yourself using something like this to keep your classic earbuds or EarPods in place when working out?
