Tips
- Instead of wrapping the cord around the figure 8, you can use a paper clip or bobby pin to hold the headphones in place of the circular shape.Thanks
- Don't wrap, but FOLD the cord inside your hand before wrapping it with the excess cord. Every time you wrap a cord, it adds a small twist, which causes more tangling when you unwrap it. Folding instead of wrapping fixes most of this problem.Thanks
