Final Project Sketch: HeadJack - An Alternative to Wireless Headphones

It has taken electronics companies years to release a decent pair of wireless headphones, and they still have not gotten it right. Yet people are sick are having a four foot cable dangling from their heads to their pockets.

Enter HeadJack.

HeadJack is a jacket that routes audio signals from the collar to a pocket, where the signal can be input via a standard 3.5mm headphone cable. The collar will contain two thin pairs of conductive fabric…one for the signal and one for common ground…that runs around half the perimeter of the collar. Behind the collar there are two sets of narrow & flexible strip magnets. HeadJack comes with a pair of earphones, each of whose conductors terminate in two magnets. These magnets are intended to snap onto the collar through attraction to the strip magnets. The poles of both the earphone magnets and the collar magnets will be positioned in such a way that the common ground and signal connections will always be attracted to the appropriate conductive fabric strip.
