MagSafe and magnetic Qi chargers have been around for years. They're also in many earbud cases and earbuds themselves (besides the transducer).
The problem isn't that it's magnetic, the problem is that it's a solution to a problem almost nobody has, excepting perhaps people without upper limbs.
I mean I like the idea of magnetic buttons because buttoning up can be a bit of a hassle and this sounds like a decent-enough solution. Don't care about changing sleeve lengths and the like either.
