I am looking for advice on how to manage the cable of my In-Ears. I need ones with cable because of lack of bluetooth, and I need them to be small because I usually have other stuff to carry around, so please don´t recommend wireless or Over-Ears.

I currently use a small zip lock bag to put them in after use, but even there, they get tangled up, unless I spend the same amount of time storing them as I do now untangling them.

So…has anyone got an idea on how to store them better, that is, faster and without getting a giant knot? Or are there small and easy-to-store In-Ears that I am unaware of?

PS just to explain my use case: I recently got a mini-keyboard that fits in my backpack which I use to play on my train and bus transit. It only has a 3.5mm jack. Sometimes I get carried away a bit while playing and then have to frantically pack everything in order to not miss my station.

    Idk if your earbuds have a replaceable cable but, the cable quality can make a huge difference to how much it tangles

    I usually just over-under wrap it then store it in a puck case. Over-under wrapping should be enough assuming your not just shoving them straight into your pocket.

      Up to now I did something similar, but without that final pull-through. Maybe that will work out, though I´ll have to see how fast I can do that when in a hurry. Thanks a lot!

        Tying them up properly really helps, and it’s not hard to do. I do use a small case that came with a Logitech earphone for my IEMs as well. You can get a small case of sorts if you want; I use one because I don’t want my IEMs to touch other stuff in the bag.

    Just hold the IEMs on your fingers and wrap the cable around them like you usually do with a big cable/hose.
