Chicago Startup Flux Headphones Say They’ve Solved The Tangle Problem, Need Help On Fundable

Flux headphones, Fundable.com,Chicago startup,startup,startups,headphones,crowdfunding startupsFundable, the new crowd funding its, has some really cool projects on it right now. One of those is the Chicago startup Flux Headphones.  Flux headphones was founded by Matt Scandora and Jatana Srain.

Scandora and Srain had a problem that millions of people face and that’s the tangled mess that earbuds become when thrown in a pocket, pocketbook, backpack or anywhere else when not in use. While their are products on the market like the flat corded Jays headphones that do a great job of staying untangled Flux Headphones address the problem in a different way.

The Flux Headphones have little magnets in the cords that let both cords stay stuck together and untangled, and then you can simply wrap them around your arm when you’re not using them. You can also opt to put them around your neck, in your pocket, heck you can attach them to the fridge or any other magnetic surface if you want. Scandora and Srain are aware of the competition out there, but they’re right no one solves the problem so easily or quite like this.  When you take them out and are ready to use them they unfold to their normal earbud wearing position.


The other great part about the magnetic design is that they allow you to adjust the length of the cord to where you want it and then it stays there. For instance if you’re using an armband to hold your music player or iPhone you can make the cord shorter utilizing the magnets and then voila the extra cord isn’t hanging off the bottom and doesn’t look messy.

Here are the tech specs:

Tech Specs:

  • Impedance: 16 Ohms
  • Frequency response: 17Hz – 22,000Hz
  • Speaker : 15mm
  • Plug: 3.5mm
  • Headphone cable length: 120cm
  • Sensitivity:114 db

So you’re getting a great quality headphone. Flux Headphoens will come in two varieties, in-ear earbuds and traditional earbuds.

Scandora tells nibletz.com that their manufacturer is ready to go they just need the funds to move forward. That’s why they’ve resorted to the new crowdfunding site fundable.com In addition Scandora says that Fundable’s founders Wil Schroeter and Eric Cori have been great mentors to Flux.

At the time of this writing Flux has raised over $5600 of the $45,000 they are looking for and have 37 days to go.
