What makes Danglers better than other pulley systems?Danglers has 3 main unique design features: the Horn, magnetic mounts, and the pulley system. The Horn routes the cable to the top your head, at an ideal location that minimizes cable tug from all angles. Danglers is the only cable system designed to be attached/detached quickly during use. Other system are designed for the cables/headset to be permenantly hanging from the ceiling/walls. The pulley design for Danglers creates a loop of cable slack directly over your head, while other systems do not have this loop. This loop allows for equal amount of pulley tension in any direction you move. Other pulley system have noticibly more tension in one direction.
