Earphones twisted

Hello everyone,

I like my iPhone earphones. But what I dislike is that they twist in a pocket. Even when I untwist and unknot them they don't hang straight down but still twisted. How do you guys handle this issue? It's annoying.

Thanks.

I iron mine. Low heat, light starch.

Really, they are wire and plastic/rubber. They take on the shape they are left in. If you have a pair that twists, try gently straightening them and then hold them (gently) for a while that way, or arrange them and leave them, whatever is easiest. And quit jamming them in your pocket 🙂. Get a container, roll them up and put them in it. My Apple set never twisted and my Ultimate Ears 3 and Ultimate Ears 700 sets certainly don't.

Mine are straight. Maybe the way you store them causes them to get twisted and kinked.

Hei thanks. You guys thinks its really the way I store them? I have them crombled in a pocket, but when I roll them into a hard case, would it change anything?

Thanks for all your comments. I didn't iron them but hanged them a week-end upside down and try to lay them at the window board instead of crumbling them in the pocket.
