I completely agree with The Post Family in saying that if these don’t go into production, there is something wrong with the world. I spend a few minutes every morning untangling my headphones and it gets on my nerves. I would buy these headphones in 2 minutes.
Edit: Although these were just a concept when posted, I’ve just discovered ZipBuds!

I agree completely. Though I’ve got earbud issues, the zipper might make up for it. And while we’re at it, can we do away with my 75 different chargers too– a universal charger and tangle free headphones and life might just be perfect.

They really thought up everything! No more tangles and a volume switch on the zip bit! REALLY! Where can I get these, please come in production!

[...] Cool Concept: Zip-Up Headphones As any iPod owner can attest, earbud-style headphones are compact, discreet, and notoriously tangle-prone. Which is why this clever concept makes perfect sense.By attaching a run-of-the-mill zipper to a pair of equally run-of-the-mill earbuds, designer Ji Woong has created genius Zipper Headphones that can be zipped up when not in use, thereby preventing the dreaded headphone tangle. Here’s hoping this zippy little prototype makes it to production.[via Design Milk] [...]

Wow! you know, I don’t even care if the zip make it untangled, I would wear them just because they look AWSOME!!! you should make the zipper in different colour combinations, but one thing I’m worried about is the quality of the earphones, is it good?

I believe these were just a concept, but it appears a company has gone ahead and launched this product here:

On behalf of the medium/long-bearded people of the world, I humbly reject this idea.
