Something that plagues users who prefer earphones by speakers and other wireless options is one damning thing: the cord. While it has some very interesting and macgyver-ish uses it can work against you as you scramble to untangle them in date for that private phone shout or even take hostage your keys and wallet.

Luckily we can put the tentacles of your earphones to rest with one very simple tip that will allow you to wind them up and pull ‘em out in a matter of seconds, a pretty good record.

that approach only takes once to learn and will aid you countless times but be warned, wrapping your earphones extensively may cause the coils to wear out faster and produce the wire lose flexibility so I propose not wrapping it tight.

First take the cable and drape it by the side of your hand so your

thumb is holding it and a few inches of the end with the plug are going down. It should look like you are pointing at something with four fingers while holding a cable. 

Gently wind the cable by and by until you can no longer do so. Take it off your hand slowly and pinch it at the middle. Take the few inches off the end and wrap it around the middle. Once you have done that shove the plug through any one of the two loops.

 

To untangle it pull the plug out of the loop, pull both the earbuds and loop opposite ways quickly but not too hard and your earphones are free. that is extremely useful say whether you want to take your signal using the buds or whether you are Jackie Chan.
