Abstract: A ribbon cord containment and identifying adaptor can be adaptively anchored or fixed to or removed from a ribbon type cord or ribbon cord of a set of earphones by hand via an anchor slot of the adaptor. The anchor slot can have a frame or structure that has an entrapment chamber and a path leading to a cord entrapment chamber where the entrapment chamber is slanted with respect to the path leading to the entrapment chamber. The structure of the entrapment chamber and path help anchor the adaptor on the ribbon type cord segment to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the adaptor from the cord segment. The structure of the anchor slot is rigid and serves to firmly grip or compress cord segments positioned between gapped-apart opposing sidewalls within the anchor slot. When a cord containment adaptor is anchored via the anchor slot, ribbon type cord segments can be gripped into slots in a manner that helps prevent the adopter from dislodging from the ribbon cord.
