I'm sorry, but I had to laugh a bit when I read that. That's an unnecessary problem with a simple solution. Why not go with earbuds that are already strung together,
I wear WIRED earbuds when I travel, and I travel for much of the year. I have NEVER used - or wanted wireless earbuds, because of the ease with which they can be misplaced or lost. I have had passengers sitting in front of me lose an earbud and needed me to retrieve them. Whatever convenience wireless earbuds possess, doesn't compensate for the inconvenience and cost - at least not to me. Besides, the kids are getting into "wired" stuff now. So, it's an chance to be "cool".
