The cord holder pattern is easy to up- and down-size too, so it should cover all your cable organizing needs. Table Of Contents Once you build up the habit of keeping your headphones in the same orientation and letting the cord unfurl after each use, you can potentially have a longer-lasting pair. As a bonus, you’ll also get fewer headaches from untwisting headphones. Having dedicated storage for your headphones when you’re not using them can go a long way in preserving their lifespan. Try not to coil your headphones’ cord too tightly. It will cause it to bend out of its natural range of motion – leading to tension build-up and wiring breakage. Be mindful of your headphones usage

When you use your headphones on the go, keeping them in a dedicated case or carry bag is the safest storage method.This was very helpful and greatly appreciated, but I think the warning against the use of all heating elements goes overboard. The linked source reveals the melting points of all types of both PVC and Nylon to be far above the kind of heat a household hairdryer can generate. In fact, hairdryer temps (roughly 30-60ºC) almost perfectly line up with the “mold temperatures” of those materials – that is, the temp at which they are most pliable – which is kinda the goal, isn’t it? Turning them anywhere between 0-360° is enough to set off the twisting effect on the cords, especially if it happens all the time.

Throughout the day, we’re constantly adjusting the position or orientation of our headphones. Here's a tutorial on how to add plastic snaps with KAM pliers - you've heard of the KAM snaps, right? Step 1: First you should know the outside diameter of your cable bundle, because the spiral tube should be smaller than your bundle. This prevents the cables from slipping later.

Use scissors to make small triangular notches on each of the curved sides to allow the fabric to lay flat. If you have pining shears, use them instead as it’s faster! After reading this guide, you should know how to straighten your headphones’ cord and keep them safe from nasty twists buildups. The next time you put your headphones on, just remember that the slightest movements can lead to a twisted mess. Decide on your desired cord wrap size. Also, each size has an option for straight ends or rounded ones. Step 2 - Cut fabric Obviously that doesn’t mean we should all go out broiling our cables in unventilated closets. A hairdryer won’t melt or cause permanent damage to any cable of even halfway-decent quality, but any time you apply heat to plastic there’s a substantial risk of breathing in noxious and possibly deadly gases.

Below you will find my step by step fabric cord keeper written tutorial with VIDEO instructions for all the visual learners. Install snaps or sew Velcro® for a closure. Each wrap can close with a KAM snap or a piece of Velcro®. I'll show you both, but I need to admit that I'm a total fan of KAM snaps. So easy to install, and so colorful! How to make diy cord holders with plastic snaps Pin hook and loop fastener – one piece on either side of the cord keeper, so that it fastens when you fold the cord wrap. On the other hand, if you use your headphones in a relatively static setup, like on your desktop PC or with a mixer set, consider having a dedicated place to store them.

If you have a somewhat consistent situation when using your headphones (e.g., on a desk with your computer or at a studio), try building a habit of always storing them in the same position and facing the same way. To make the cord keeper cut one outer fabric, one lining fabric, and optionally, one interfacing. I always add it for stability. Being inside a case or bag means there’s not much room for your headphones to toss around. In addition, some of them also come with designated slots that keep your cords safe from twists.Turn right sides out and top stitch around the edge. This will sew the opening closed. Step 6 - Add snaps or hook-and-loop tape TIP: Fusible interfacing has a rough (bumpy side with glue, and a smooth side). Use your fingertips to determine which side is which.

It’s such a small thing that otherwise it may bunch up. Sew the two layers with the right sides together using a ¼" seam allowance, leaving a turning gap on one of the long edges. Step 4 - Trim the seam allowance
