How to fold headphones

Headphones are an integral part of the life of a modern person. With their help, you can avoid getting bored in transport, or when playing sports, you can turn on music through them and not disturb strangers. In order to always be able to use this device, we strive to always carry it with us. But in such a situation, it very often happens that from your pocket or bag you take out not your favorite device, but an ordinary bunch of wires, which is not as easy to deal with as you would like.

How to fold your headphones correctly so they don't get tangled 

There are several different ways you can fold your headphones so that they are always ready to use. By considering some of them and choosing one that is most convenient for you, you can always keep your device in neat condition. Correctly and neatly folded headphones will guarantee their longer service life, as the likelihood of damage is minimized.  

Let's look at the simplest and most effective methods for folding your headset on the go. To perform these methods you do not need to use any additional devices. Everything is extremely simple and clear. 

 Wrap the wire around your fingers 

Use the given life hack and you can fold your headphones neatly.To understand the twisting process, arm yourself with headphones and follow the step-by-step instructions below: 

• First, get your device in order. Unwind it if it has already become entangled. Take the untangled wires in one palm. 
• With your other hand, wrap the wires around your palm several times. 
• Release the twisted wire and carefully pull it out over the edge. 
• Leave a small piece of wire about 10 cm long. 
• The remaining tail should be wrapped around the wires that you wrapped around your palm. Perform several turns. 
• Pull the remaining tip of the wire into the eyelet formed as a result of winding. 

Twist the wire into a figure eight 

You can also collapse the gadget using another method called “figure eight”. Follow the instructions below and you will certainly be able to do everything right the first time: 

1. Hang the edge of the cord on one hand between two fingers, let it be the index and little fingers at just a comfortable distance. 
2. Pull the other edge of the cord onto the little finger from the outside, and on the index finger from the inside. 
3. Do this until you have a small piece of cord left. You get a figure of eight made from wire. 
4. Use the remaining wire to wrap your figure eight around the circumference and tuck the free edge of the wire into the resulting loop. 

Use a plastic card 

If you usually store this gadget not in your pocket, but, for example, in a bag or briefcase, then this life hack will certainly suit you. You will need a regular plastic card or a piece of thick cardboard; you can make such a holder yourself.  

• It is necessary to cut two recesses on the sides.  
• You need to make a hole in the top. To do this, you can use a hole punch. 
• Now all that remains is to wrap the cable around this card, and thread the free edge of the wire into the hole made on top. 

Storage Accessories 

Manufacturers also offer special devices with which you can always neatly fold your headphones, no matter where you are. Perhaps the most convenient and interesting among them are covers.

Some may say that this thing is absolutely unnecessary and impractical, but those who constantly use such an accessory as headphones will not say so. The design of the case is primitive. This is a compact wallet, made of leather or rubber, with a zipper for ease of use. With such a wallet, you will forever forget about tangled wires, and you will always know where it is in your bag or briefcase, because if you wish, you can attach it to your pocket. 

REFERENCE. When using such a storage case, you extend the life of the gadget, because it will be stored neatly, no debris, dirt, or moisture will get into it. 

If you wish, you can sew such a case yourself so that the headphones do not get tangled, it is quite simple.
