Hi,

I wear my Sansa Clip+ on my bike & motorcycle, as well as hiking, and wanted to secure the cord of the headphones.

This clip works well, it's a bit big, but for my big hands it's great.

Strong spring, good bite with the "teeth" to keep it in place.

The small clip to route the cord through it good as well, I route the 2 small cords coming off the earbuds before they merge into one.

I also bought a smaller one from a different company, but it was too small and difficult to use, this one works much better for my needs.

If you like to keep you headphone cord where you want it, and are tired of it catching on things, this clip works very well, and it's only a few bucks.

peace,

ss

I read reviews here stating that the alligator spring strength was excellent, and that's all I cared about. As far as the cord-holder slippage issue went, it was a non-issue for me because I generally customize things anyway. Besides, I was doubtful that the cord clip would be able to handle the wide gauge of the Grado SR80i -and I was correct. Moreover I didn't want my lines crimped, so even if the clip was adequate I planned on a DIY job that would be kind to my lines.

Simply took two small plastic zip ties -one loop around the cord clip and the second snugly wrapped around the cord after interlacing the first zip tie. Snip off the tails, and now it's a perfectly adequate cord clip for my heavy can cords. If it's not immediately obvious why two zip tie loops were needed, just visualize looping a zip through the cord clip gap pictured in the product photo. the line would only be able to run parallel to the alligator jaws; therefore, a second loop around the first loop and the cord is needed for a line to run perpendicular. Using black zip ties, it's hardly noticeable. Very simple mod -the jaws on this clip are good for thick cords like you'd find on any audiophile-level on-ear or circumaural cans, and the zip tie is just loose enough not to crimp the cord, and yet tight enough to prevent slippage.

After my Plantronics clothing clip failed (after just a month of usage), I thought I'd try this one.

Trust me: It's a complete joke. Not only is it incredibly difficult to squeeze the alligator-style clip open (as there's absolutely nothing to grip on the squeezy-ends, so it keeps slipping out of your finger-tips), but the part that's supposed to hold the headphone cables is WOEFULLY inefficient, and it just lets the wires slide right through.

The clipping portion is ridiculously strong, though! I can't see it coming unsecured at all. BUT WHAT'S THE POINT IF IT DOESN'T SECURE THE HEADPHONE WIRES?

I think I'm upgrading to some bluetooth headphones, as these bouncing headphone wires are driving me nuts on my jog.

This clips is very strong & with good quality material, only we need to take care when we put the cable, is a little hard to do it, but not a big problem.

I recently purchased new PureGear in-ear headsets with a tangle-free flat cord. Great sounding headset EXCEPT for the cord noisewhen the cord pretty much touches anything, the mechanical noise from the cord will be transmitted to your ears. It is distracting and annoying.

The key to eliminating cord noise is to isolate the cord between your ears and a fixed point (usually an article of clothing) using a clip so that this section of cord won't touch anything. (The cord from the clip to your player/phone won't transmit the noise to your ears.) But flat cords limits the clip choices out there because most clips are designed for round cords. The Audio-Technica AT8439 can accommodate both flat and round cords, has a STRONG clip to attach to a shirt or a thick coat. It takes care of this problem nicely, and is cheap.
