It’s not really a magnet, but a Magneat!

Thursday, January 6th, 2011, Netcast 1259 

This gadget started out as the mystery “What the Heck Is It?” gadget in the Nov/Dec game. Since we recorded this version of the Daily Giz Wiz on New Year’s Day, the same day as the identity of the gadget was revealed, I thought I’d make it the gadget of today’s show. The Magneat is a unique management solution to tangled headphone or ear bud cords. Here’s how it works. It’s a two part system. Start by separating the rear part from the front by sliding them apart. Place the front part on your clothing where you want the wires to your headphones to lead up to your ears. The rear magnet goes behind the front underneath your clothing. Now it will then hold the Magneat in place. This gives you convenient place to wrap the extra cord that normally gets in the way as you work out, jog, etc. When the cord has been adequately shortened you lock it by inserting in the slot on the front of the unit. Plain colors, plus black or white Magneats are $12.90, plus S&H. They are now many custom designs and they sell for two bucks more, $14.90, plus S&H.
