instructions from rear of package |
| Do I need *really* need this product? |
Well, if you're happy winding your earphone cord around a music player or phone, or leaving it stuck in your ear for hours at a time, probably not. But, if you typically stuff the earphone in your pocket or backpack, or spend minutes each day unknotting a rat's nest of wires, or had a cable break, or own more than one earphone, the fig8 cord organizer will make your life a little bit easier. |
| Why a "figure eight" pattern? |
This pattern alternately twists the cord clockwise and counterclockwise, thus averaging out any tendency of the cable to tangle or curl. |
| Can't I just wind the cord around the "U" in a loop instead of a figure8? |
Yes, you can. And it is a bit faster. But, without the figure8 pattern, the cord often tangles when released. Still, feel free to experiment. |
| Fifteen seconds is a LONG time to spend winding the cord around the fig8! |
Compared to a frustrating minute or two unknotting a mass of tangled cables, its a bargain. And the fig8 unreels in the blink of an eye- so the TOTAL time packing/unpacking the cord is really quite short. |
| Should I wind from the headset or plug end? |
Your choice, either direction works. If you hang the fig8 on a backpack from the optional detachable loop, its best to start from the headset end. This way, the extra weight keeps the fig8 balanced below the loop. |
| Does the fig8 work with all cords? |
Well, with most. A few are too long (beyond about 52"), and some headsets designed with integrated (and bulky) microphones require a bit of care to wind compactly. See the Tips and Tricks page for assistance in winding safely and compactly. The fig8 is compatible with iphone/pod, Bose and other similar headsets. |
| How much does it weigh? How large is it? |
The fig8 weighs less than half an ounce (13 gms). Its 1.85" x 2.1" x 0.8" in size (47mm x 54mm x 20mm). The color is a translucent oyster shell (white to light gray depending on the light). |
| What is the fig8 made from? |
A very tough plastic called ABS. Someday, when music streams directly into our brains and there is no longer a reason to carry around a headset, please recycle your fig8. |
| Is the fig8 patented? |
Yes, under US D623501 and US D623502. fig8 trademark registered under 3,849,896 with the USPTO |
