The global market for sports and fitness clothing is projected to reach $231 billion dollars by 2024, driven by rising health consciousness and the resulting increase in participation in sports and fitness activities.

The X-Port Story

When I go to the gym I like to run my headphone wires underneath my shirt. It isn’t the most elegant solution, but I was starting to get “headphone rage” with the amount of times my cord has gotten caught on gym equipment - yanking them out of my ears, or even worse breaking my phone (it happened on the treadmill one time – it was not a pretty sight).

On one particular day though I had on a long-sleeved shirt and an armband for my phone, so tucking it under the shirt wasn't an option.  I'm not at the gym for any kind of fashion show so I improvised…I actually bit a hole in my sleeve passed the wire through and plugged it in the device and went about my workout.  It wasn’t until a few people remarked about my “unique solution” that I realized I might be on to something.  And that is how the X-Port was born.

FAQ

How many ports does the X-Port system have?

Both the welted button hole and DIY Grommet Kit contain 5 strategically located ports.  One center port for initial routing, one port on each shoulder and two ports at the bottom of the garment.

How do I install the ports on my shirts?

It's an easy 2 step process.

The DIY X-Port kit comes with a hole punch and crimper.  Simply punch a hole where you want to insert a port and then crimp the 2 halves of the X-Port together until they snap. 

Will the ports come out in the wash?

Once it is securely fastened with our crimper, the X-Port will remain securely in place both during your workouts and when you wash your garments.

Isn't it just easier to use Bluetooth Headphones?

Bluetooth headphones have pros and cons.  Many people are turned off by their prohibitive cost, poorer sound quality, pairing issues and battery life.  Additionally, studies of Bluetooth are underway that link exposure to microwaves and brain radiation.
