This is a 10/10 YSK tip. I haven’t had to untangle my headphones or charging cable after I learned this.

Here is the same trick with a smaller cable, probably more like what most of us are coiling up every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsvANAT3yg&t=160s (start at 2:40)

My phone decided to play this with AI generated German audio (which I can probably deactivate in Tubular, will check in a second). They must have trained the choice on freaking 90s infomercials, because it sounds cavils like the bad dubs we got on those.

  If they are training on historical dubs, just be thankful you’re not Polish.

I’ve been wrapping headphones in a figure 8 across my devil’s horns, speaker first. The plug end can then be wrapped ~5 times around the crossover and pulled through the loop opposite the one it just came from. It accomplishes the same overall effect of reversing the twist each cycle. It also serves as a neat party trick to show people how they could have had better headphone management =(current year - 2015) years ago
