- Are travel organizers really necessary? Yes. Not only do they keep your cables and other little necessities in place but they also help you pack more efficiently. In fact, now there are organizers available for literally everything!
Since the dawn of technology, cable management has always been an issue in our lives. Be it the TV or computer wires, they always seem to turn into a messy and tangled disaster that never goes away. Behind your desk, this mess is hardly noticeable. But, when it comes to your devices, it’s always a headache. Thanks to mobile technology, we are now facing the same issue with our charging cables and earphones. Until the world finally (read: successfully) goes wireless, this is exactly why we need travel organizers to keep things in place.
Keeping your earphones tidy
Let’s start with the one problem everyone has: earphones tangling. No matter how you wrap them, tie them, or place them, they will always become a nearly impossible knot in your pocket or bag. So, here are some solutions that make listening to your music less of a headache.
Cableyoyo is an earbud cord spool with a magnetic center to keep earphones tidy and tangle-free while enabling quick winding and unwinding. Cableyoyo winds and unwinds earbuds in a matter of seconds (or less). Simply place your finger in the center of the spool, pull, and your earbuds are ready to rock.

Spool Cable Organizing Earphones
This ingenious device gives you instant storage for your cabled audio. The Spool Earphones come with their very own spool. When you’re not listening to music, you simply coil them around the spool for effortless storage.
Charing up tangle-free
Next in line are your charging cables. Although most of these cables do come with some sort of organizing tape or band in the box, this “solution” only keeps them neatly piled up for the first few seconds before you rip into the packaging. After that, you’re left untangling forever. As a result, these cables get damaged easily. Instead, you need a more durable solution like these:
