Repurposing for Earphones or Cables: 5pk screw-mounted brushed-finish hooks for $10

This is a repurposing idea for hanging earphones (either to air them out or for easy access) and hanging detachable cables. They won’t work for most over/on-ear headphones because they are less than an inch across. It is a 5-pack of screw-mounted brushed-finish hooks going for $10 by KES with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so they are Prime eligible.

Check Amazon Gallery picture #2 for the dimensions (in the pictures, they look larger than they are, so do check the dimensions!), and picture #6 to see what’s included (screws and anchors). I haven’t done this particular repurposing, so this post is based on the product description over there.
