Do your earphones get knotted like mine?

Earphone cables are notorious for getting knotted. Here's a picture of mine this morning. Do yours get knotted too? I think earphones are living creatures that move and knot themselves when no-one is looking!!

All cords get tangled. Headphones are the most notorious.

It used to happen to me as well, but after crocheting that to a yarn it doesn't tangle.

Tee hee hee, oh my. No, I can't say my cords have ever been that mangled up. I used to play music for a living and had many patch cords and cables. I always made it a habit of wrapping them and tying them with a twisty tie. That kept me out of trouble. LOL However, I do recall a time when I was at my synthesizer ready to work on a song. I had a pair of head phones that I was planning on using. They were chewed through the middle by my 2 mischievous little kittens. I wasn't mad at all. I just went to the store and bought a new pair.

@pitstop Haaaaaa, what a riot. After re-reading my post, it was hard to tell what I bought. It could have gone either way based on the wording. Just to clarify - I kept the kittens ( I always keep the kittens ) and I bought a new pair of headphones. There, now I think I got it straight.

@betlynfrnds I'm sure your kittens were thrilled about the new earphones too.

@pitstop Sure I do this but without the velcro.
Ever wonder how to wrap your earbuds without getting them tangled? I discovered this method to wrap my apple earbuds perfectly every time without any tangles...

Worse than that, the cable broke and I still saved it.

Well, there is even a mathematical formula for it. Check this out if you're feeling curious
With iPhone 7, Apple could be about to solve one of the most annoying things about mobile phones: The way your earbud headphones always get tangled in knots when you're not using them.

I do not think they are tied alone, it happens to me because I put them in my pocket and when I take them out I do not care how they come and doing it several times generates the phenomenon

I tend to roll them up for storage on the desk and that probably does the same thing.
