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!!

@pitstop \My earphones do not get tangled up. My cords for things get tangled up.

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.
