It's about time! Someone has finally made portable headphones with a retractable cable. In those iPod ads they always show those silhouette people just dancing around, but they never show them spending three minutes untangling the cables on a subway platform. Here, a company named Macally tries to solve the problem.
They're testing them out in the (South, duh) Korean market first, a common occurrence as of late. Once our pals on the peninsula give it the thumbs-up, I'm sure we'll have 'em 'Stateside.

Have been using my Sony MDR-Q66LW headphones for two years now. They also have a retractable cable as well and are really comfortable. Highly recommendable and available almost anywhere, not only in Korea.
The headphone headache is really headed for obsolesence once Apple finally introduces Bluetooth to its iPod line-up :-)
That's a long awaited development! I'm spending hours every week on trying to tie-up the cables of my telephone and mp3-player. I want it - now!
but in exchange for tangle-free cords, you have to carry around what essentially looks like a giant rape whistle.
