Headset Wire Kinking

[Blitzkreig]

Hey guys I have a problem, a very serious problem.

Simply put, all the wiring for my headsets that I've purchased recently after a week or two will just magically kink and twist itself into long coils of kinked wire. Is there any way to prevent this? It destroys the wiring and I end up having to purchase a new headset. Now regardless of wire coating be it simple rubber, plastic, or nylon the kinking would still occur. I have a new headset coming in tomorrow and would rather not have that one break as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Don't twist it?

Make sure to put it down without turning it around in your hand when you take it off

There's no magical solution unless you want to fix it to the ceiling on a telescoping rod that doesn't rotate

I generally don't put my headsets through way too much twisting or other such movement just recently each and every one has like hyper-kinked over the course of a day or two. I'd leave it just fine, go to work, come back and the cords are more twisted than a low-quality alcoholic tea.

To work out the kinks on mine, I stretched it out along a very lengthy table and made sure to stretch it well, but not too hard. I taped the end of the two audio jacks to the table and began taping the portions of kinked wire down onto the table and let it sit for a while. It worked for me until I re-coiled it by rotating it like a month later :v:

Some cheap headsets have very cheap shitty cables.

We're talking $40-$70 dollar range here.

Consider looking into headphones with coiled wires. My ATH-M50's have a coiled wire and after owning them for 6 months I've still not gotten a single tangle or kink.
