The Best Headphone Tie Ever

we all have had this issue, right? you want to get your headphones out of your pocket in a hurry just to find them tangled in a way that’s imposible to use them right away. Fear no more!!

I’ve been using this tie I'll describe for a while. I started just wrapping some cord over my phones and eventually got to this idea of a quick release tie.

what you’ll need

- 30 cm (12 inches) of some cord. I like to use a pretty stiff cord that’s about the same diameter as my headphones cord (about 2mm)

- lighter

- your hands :)

First Tie an Overhand Knot Leaving About 6 Cm (a Little Over 2 Inches) End

Then Do the Same With the Other End, Just Like in the Picture

On Each Long End Tie Another Overhand Knot, This Will Help Tighten and Losen the Tie.

and is ready!

  • wrap you headphones over your hand
  • place the tie just like in the picture
  • wrap the knotted end over the headphone cord but below the tie.
  • do it twice
  • pull the knots

et voilà!

just untuck the tie to quickly access your untangled headphones
