Headphones are an essential gadget for many people, whether for listening to music, taking calls, or watching videos. However, it can be a challenge to keep them organized and tangle-free when not in use. Wrapping them up correctly not only helps to avoid tangles but also protects them from damage.
In this blog post, we will go over how to wrap up headphones properly.
Gather your materials
Before you start wrapping your headphones, make sure you have the following items at hand:
- Your headphones
- A flat surface to work on
Detach the cables
If your headphones have detachable cables, remove them from the headset. It will make it easier to wrap them up neatly.
Find the center point
Locate the center point of the cables by finding the point where they are evenly balanced on both sides. This will be the starting point for wrapping your cables.
Make a loop
Hold the center point in one hand and use the other hand to make a loop with one of the cables. The loop should be about the size of a dollar coin.
Repeat with the other cable
Make a loop with the other cable, similar to the first one.
Cross the loops
Cross the two loops over each other, with one loop going over and the other going under.
Tighten the loops
Gently pull on the loops to tighten them around the center point. This will help to keep the cables in place and prevent tangles.
Repeat until all the cables are wrapped
Continue making loops and crossing them over the center point until all the cables are wrapped up.
Secure the cables
Once all the cables are wrapped, use a cable tie or a piece of tape to secure them. This will help to keep them from unravelling.
Store your headphones
Finally, store your wrapped headphones safely, such as a headphone case or a drawer. It will protect them from damage and keep them organized.
