What to look for in durable headphones? Braided wire.

February 19, 2015

As a music lover, you use your earbuds everyday.

So you know that your headphones need to be able to handle the wear and tear of daily use.

Whether it's during exercising, studying, while travelling, or just at home relaxing - your earbuds get faced with a lot - sweat...pets...pockets...tugs...the elements...you get the idea.

Plastic headphone wire can wear down and get stripped over time.

That's why the core element of Tweedz's design is our unique braided headphone cable. It's simply more durable.

We use 100% nylon to wrap our wire, similar to the material you see on professional climbing ropes and touring musician instrument cables. The fabric braiding protects the wire from force and friction to help keep up with your busy life - tunes intact.

So if you're tired of seeing your plastic headphone cords wear down too quickly, give Tweedz a try.

Update: Tweedz was recently named one of "The Most Durable Earbuds of 2015"! We're glad that people are noticing the durability benefits of nylon braided headphone cords- it's tough stuff.

Earbuds with a Long Cord = Less Tug

February 10, 2015

Tired of the tug? Looking for earbuds with a long cord? Look no further.

130cm. That's the length of the cable we use on our headphones.

And longer wire = less tug.

It's a little longer than what many of our competitors use. A lot of other earbuds use cords that are around 110cm. But a little extra length goes a long way.

It means no tugging from your pocket, purse, or backpack...

And a little more freedom to move freely when you're running, walking, snowboarding, or just on the go.

While longer cords can sometimes lead to tangles (see the science behind tangled headphones in our infographic), our braided wire helps reduce tangles, so that you don't have to worry about that.

And you can always use our tip for reducing tangled headphones while travelling - all it takes is three fingers and a pair of Tweedz.

A little length goes a long way.

Headphones, Earphones, Earbuds, or Earpods? What do you call them?

December 21, 2014

One of the things we've realized since bringing our braided buds to the masses is that different people call them different things - headphones, earphones, earbuds, ear phones, earpods, etc. Given the variety of options, we were interested to see what the most common was, and here's what we found courtesy of Google Trends.

Headphones was the top reference, followed by earphones, then earbuds; while Apple's "earpods" don't seem to have caught on as a ubiquitous term yet. What do you call them?

Another interesting find - it varies from region to region. In the US and UK, headphones is the most popular terminology, earphones is more common in Southeast Asia, and ear phones (two words with a space) is more common in India for those Ravi Shankar fans. Interesting stuff. Whatever your preference - happy listening!
