If you regularly wear headphones or earphones, then you'll certainly know that sometimes we forget we're "attached" to something, ending up with the headphones ripped off our ears - or, even worse, your valuable smartphone heading out into a nasty fall. With Magzet, you'll no longer have to face that.
This project takes me back to the days of the coiled/uncoiled headphone cables; but Magzet doesn't really have to do with cables, instead focusing on the plug itself. You can consider it a "magsafe" connector for audio jack, using a magnetic attachment system that simply breaks free should you inadvertently pull it too hard.
This means no more devices pulled accidentally from a table, as well as allowing you to easily and quickly disconnect and connect your headphones to multiple devices. Magzet also made sure you won't have to deal with unintended side-effects of leaving a jack plugged in all the time - unless you have a real connection, the jack will remain undetected by the device.
It sounds interesting, and if you consider the basic $35 kit on Kickstarter to be an investment that can save you from hundreds of dollars in potential damages from a falling smartphone or laptop, it won't take you long to make up your mind. Deliveries are promised on December, assuming there's no delays.
