Forget Tangled Wires: We're Really Excited For These Magnetic Earbuds
While we can't wait for all of those things to come out, it's probably going to be a while.
Meanwhile, there's an awesome, innovative gadget that's gotten barely any coverage despite solving an issue everyone has: tangled earbud wires.
We first heard about the Jabra Rox Wireless earbuds via gadget recommendation site The Wirecutter's "realist guide to CES."

Those two subtle improvements to something we use everyday earned the Jabra Rox Wireless a 2014 CES Innovations award for Design and Engineering. While we don't have a solid release date beyond "early 2014" just yet, we do know that the expected retail price is $129, which isn't bad for a pair of quality headphones.
As you can see, they look a lot like the earbuds most of us already use, just without a wire going from your head to the phone in your pocket:
