Notch Away!
At either end cut two notches on opposing sides.
Notches should be angled roughly as pictures.
Take care to make the opening of your notch only slightly bigger than cord (about 1/16th of an inch)
Make the interior of the notch wider than the opening, but narrower than your plug (about 3/16th of inch)
Note: Spandox suggests using a hole punch. Great idea.

Wrap Cord
Insert your plug end into the notch and wrap you cord up neatly.
When you get to the buds, tuck them into their notch.
Voila.
