Allsop Digital Innovations 31664 Nest XL Tangle-Free USB Cable and Phone Charger Case/AirPods Organizer fits Earbuds/Earphones, Durable and Compact Storage System, Blue

I love this Cord Nest. I bought a couple of them few years ago. I think the XL size fits adaptor and cord better than any other products. It gives me tangle free cable management for all kinds of cords. I could easily pack them in my carry-on luggage whenever I travel.

To the reader(s) of this review. If you're like me, you can't keep headphones in good condition to save your life. It's not your fault, you don't abuse them, you don't just toss them in your pockets or backpack all willy-nilly while they bounce around in there crashing into every ear-bud destroying object which is basically everything that's a solid chunk of matter. This nifty silicon case eliminates all these issues. This would be money well spent for music lovers on the go who, like me, lose more earbuds to unintential destruction than you can keep count.The Nest is made of a rubbery, matte finished silicon and is about 2" in diameter give or take. As you can see from the pictures, the outer "rim" unfolds exposing the inner portion of the case which has six "teeth" that flex to hold your earbuds inside the center of the case while you wind the cable around the cyndrilical portion, place in the cord, then fold back the "rim" to keep your earbuds snugly secure. That's it! The case is brilliantly designed and does it's job perfectly. Now I realize between the words rim and teeth I may have described something out of a horror movie than an earbud case but I assure you this sucker is anything but a monstrosity.The silicon is tough and you won't feel like you are going to cause damage by regular use; but I'd vouch be gentle with it regardless if you can help it. It seems to catch dust easily, I can those little fuzzies all over mine but frankly who cares; I mean note that there are NO REVIEWS for this thing under four stars and for good reason. If you've been searching high and low across the endless data that is the internet for an earbud case; your quest is at an end, noble Amazon browser. You have found your earbud case.NOTE: To all those who have earbuds with a line-in mic, the case still works. Here's what I do to use it since my earbuds have a mic. Unfold the case as normal and insert the mic into the case with the cables sticking out on opposite ends of the center. Wrap the earbuds themselves in one direction and the auxiliary jack in another, and put them back into the center with the mic. It will be a bit of a squeeze, but I've never run into any issues. Even this isn't worth taking a star off for.

... except I purchased three of these at the same time at least 10 years ago. One of them is in almost daily use and shows zero signs of wear. The corded earpods installed also show zero signs of wear although they do hold the coil they've been in for a short time. I just purchased another device that uses a larger cord for charging and, while the larger size of this case now available would probably work better, I have installed it in one of the others I purchased so long ago just to shorten the cord while charging the new device. This is a top quality product!

I've long used an old Shure hardcase for my IEMs, the nice small circular one with the winding basket in the middle. I don't know why nobody makes anything like that anymore. All of my IEMs have fit handily in it, and the winding basket (a hard plastic hollow cylinder in the middle - put the IEMs inside and wind the cord around the outside) makes packing up quick and easy, and prevents tangles. Shure now sells a larger version, and I don't know of any true alternatives to the original. I don't like the hardcases which are just empty inside save for a bit of netting, what an inconvenient mess. And I certainly don't like the cheap pouches many manufacturers like to go with, offering slim-to-no protection. I have enough IEMs hanging around right now that I needed to try to find another solution. Particularly, with the HiFiMAN RE-600, which needs a balanced-to-single-ended adaptor cable, things are a little tight in the Shure case, and the flexibility and convenience of The Nest seemed like a good idea. Protection-wise, I'd put The Nest somewhere between the useless pouch and a hardcase, though closer to the hardcase than one might expect. The silicone is fairly thick, and the IEMs themselves are rather safe in their little cubby. The top bit, where you push the IEMs through, is rather open, and I suspect give the right combination of things-in-a-bag, foreign objects could find their way through and muck up your IEMs. Additional reinforcement would be welcome, I think The Nest could be considerably less flexible while still retaining its convenience. And, convenient it certainly is. Use is similar to my beloved Shure case, though slightly better, as the silicone 'holds on' to the cable, rather than pulling as you wind. While this is a rare necessity, I'm sure, it is easy to get the HiFiMAN adaptor cable tucked away as well - there is plenty of space in the cubby. One could keep spare tips or the like in there as well. While I still don't think it's entirely ideal from a protection point of view, this does seem to be one of the (if not -the-) overall best/tidiest IEM cases currently on the market.

I have a pair of Moondrop Chu headphones that I like a lot, but getting them back into the wallet they came with is awkward because the cable is very springy and clumpy. I was looking for some good earbud storage solution and a lot of what I saw either left things too exposed or was too big, but The Nest is perfect. The concept is simple, but undeniably clever. Since my earbuds do have a volume control, it took a few attempts to get the best result, but I've been able to get the earbuds in first, start wrapping around, then lay the volume across the center, though it did work wrapping around the outside as well but it felt awkward. Pushing the nest open and closed can be mildly awkward, but it's far less awkward than things were before. I also liked the small profile of the nest, it's only a millimeter or two thicker than the wallet was with everything crammed in and now I can use the wallet for some other cords.
