So you're going about your everyday life, listening to music to maintain your happy place and drown out the sounds of that homeless guy who keeps propositioning you and the insipid xmas music that they've been playing in all stores everywhere since FUCKING HALLOWEEN! But then you need to talk to someone, to pay for your groceries, for example. So you take your earbuds out. But where do you put them? If your iPod (or whatever) is in your pocket, the earbuds will dangle perilously close to the ground. If you throw them over your shoulder or put them through your beltloop or whatever, it's a rather complicated process to put them back, especially if you care about getting the right bud in the right ear.
The solution: attractive, functional earrings that you can somehow hang your earbuds on. You just remove them from your ears and somehow attach them to your earrings, so they're right there a centimetre below your earholes. Perhaps they could even design them so that if you take the earbud out of your ear, it will fall naturally onto the earring without your having to fiddle with some kind of hooking mechanism. No more getting wires all tangled up, no more accidentally stepping on your earbuds, no more rudely leaving one earbud in because you can't figure out what to do with them.
I have no idea what the specific design should be like, I'm leaving that for people with aesthetic sense.

Genius!!
*lots of claps*
I thought of something like this a long time ago - or maybe having the ear hook as part of the bud or wire but I like your idea - maybe put a breakaway so you don't get sued for someone ripping their hole when they get the wire caught ;)
or bluetooth!!! if you could fit it small enough to not weigh down the ear...
when i was painting recently i threaded the wire through my ponytail and put ipod in my back pocket - i could take bud out and dangle from shoulder - that's an easy + free way to do it with no danger except it might make a knot in your hair on the way out :)
