This is still a mystery to me. Does anyone have a cure for this?
I have a set of Sony in-ear earbuds that go behind the neck. Everytime I curl it up into a little ball and put it in my pocket, it wraps around itself over and over magically just to annoy me. The next time I pull them out, I have to spend five minutes trying to split the messed up wire. How can this be prevented? Any (small) tool or trick?
Well what most of my friends and I do is wrap the cord around the music player. It isn’t perfect but it does seem to work quite well…
I have the Creative Muvo mp3 player — it’s tiny. If I wrap the cord around it it’ll take 20 minutes.
Step one: Wrap the cord around two or more fingers of your choice.
Step two: Fix the coil with a rubber band
Step three: Put it in your pocket
Ah but that includes a rubber band.
Ah, but you mentioned “small tool or trick.” Well, technically, a rbber band is small… It doesn’t exactly cost a lot either.
I was thinking more like a commercial product — but this suits my needs I guess. Now the only thing is I don’t know where I’d hide from the shame when I use one of those things to bind my headphone cord.
they sell cable organizers at radioshack and stuff that are fairly cheap and look really cool. Some include www.smartwrap.net and www.cableorganizer.com

I’ve seen the latter two links, but wow that Smartwrap looks really small and handy. Who knew one small piece of plastic in a particular shape could be so handy. Thanks for that — I’ll definitely check it out.
no prob
