So many mornings I have blearily unwind and untangle my headphone cord for my pre-dawn trip to the gym. I like this idea and will probably make it a stocking stuffer.

It’s the same technique that sailors use to stow lines and ropes on boats without tangling and ready for use at a moment’s notice, Here’s one example – http://notableknotindex.webs.com/gasketcoil.html

I can’t imagine winding up my cord like this each time I put the cord away – inconvenient. Getting close though!

Anti-tangle cords have been around for ages, it’s just that the cheap headphone manufacturers tend not to use them.

Look at the flat headphone cords on Beats Audio, or the anti-tangle cords on the Ultimate Ears In-Ear-Monitors.

They’re effective at stopping this problem, but those headphones cost far more than $10.
