    Problem already solved...Sony Mdr-As40Ex

    [www.amazon.com]

    A little ring at the base of the cable split. When you throw em in your pocket simply slide the ring up to the headphones.
    Problem solved.

    For about $30 you also get

    Removable over ear clips if you want to wear totally in ear like a standard bud.
    ear clips are soft rubber not hard plastic, I don't even realize I am wearing them.
    2 lengths of cable (short for shit pocket + additional length for pant's pocket
    The longer length has a right angle plug to minimize tension on the phones and the jack
    multiple soft inserts for different ear sizes and preferences.

    Someone at Sony still knows what they are doing.

    I'd still have issues at the gym getting tangled up with the free weights. I'm still waiting for Motorola to work the kinks out of the S9.

    My solution for tangled headphones? Untangle them right away instead of letting them get even more tangled at an exponentially faster rate. Simple as that.

    so....

    After they are zipped up, how do they wrap up for storage? I prefer the over/under method but I think that thick plastic would not curl up or wrap now. hmm

    I think I'd rather take the minute to untangle them than wait a day for a cat to poop 'em out.

    Why isnt there a "UniCord" system that integrates power/signal into the same cord that is also standardized throughout the entire marketplace? If appliances adopted the standard they could be made to naturally integrate into one another giving specific devices priority depending on the signal/power that the now (networked) systems needed based on usage.
    Think of the computer mouse plugged into the keyboard plugged into the monitor plugged into the comp unit type thing though with a bit more sophistication.
    Provide power and connectivity via the same standard cable.

    Not worth posting now... I just organized most of the mess that was on the table by using double sided tapes on my usb hubs.

    Using a couple of power strips hidden behind my printer, and most of my cables are behind my 32"LCD... so it doesn't look too bad.

    Still, I really could use some of those cable managers...

    Here you have it folks your chance to see cable management at its best and I sell my services for $4.99 an hour! That's right, for $4.99 an hour I will come to your house and hose your wires up too!...

    This add ends in 25 seconds so act fast before its gone!

    These wires are for 2 computers + 1 Altec Lansing sub woofer and 4 surround sound speakers and at least 2 computers that are no longer a part of the network but I have not removed the wires. There may be other misc wires from cell phone from a year ago, a battery charger and keyboards that are hooked to nothing but pure air :( There are 3 daisy chained surge protectors as well, covered in skin dust.The 2 monitors and 2 printers are about 5 feet away so the additional wires run behind the white floor cabinet pictured; hidden and out of site. There are several books and clean printer paper on the white floor cabinet pictured as well, hidden. In addition its a glass tabled top so you can see the arrangement from above while you wait for Twitter to come back online. These all run off one plug, the other wall plug on the adjacent wall is for the air conditioner and router. I did use 3 cable ties to tidy up a bit; red ones to match the color of fire hazard.
