Some closer, slower detail and references to physical directions, relationships, things, would help me to understand the conceptual 'unloop' bit. Also, I can wrap my earphones round and round and untangle them in an instand, so how is this any better? Does it twist them less?
This working depends on starting it right. He's holding the jack so it points up, but most people hold the jack so it points down, because that puts the jack in your palm and feels natural. If you hold the jack point down in your right hand, wrap the cord behind your right hand, hold it in place with your thumb, put your left hand between your body and the cord, thumb down, loop your thumb around the cord, pull it towards you, letting the cord fall over the back of your left hand, and done.
guys this works extra well if you use your ipod as a "hand" it eliminates the need for a twist tie and it makes you look smart but not nerdy in front of cool people.
What I do is grab both ends, put them together and wrap them around my fingers, it takes half the number of coils and no kinks or anything. And when using headphone cases you can slip the coils into the pocket and leave the ends hanging out for easy access when you open the case.
Good shit, thanks for the video. I knew about the over-under method for larger cables, never realized I could use it for small cables like earbuds as well. Thanks again
A proof that wraping tightly your earbuds will not ruin them, it's just how tied that thing come in with the iPod. It's almost impossible to get them like that again
Over under is a SHOCKINGLY easy method for people to screw up. I don't know how many people can't manage it with XLR's and how many XLR's we've had come back that are kinked or effed up. Best way to test that you did it right is just to hold the last end you wrapped [in this case the earbuds] and let the rest drop. It should not tangle or have any real bend in it to speak of. Best of luck, happy long life, cables everywhere.
I really don't understand how people can complain about negativity on the video...two reasons 1) I didn't see anything wrong with it...it may have been a tad clumsy in editing and presentation ur it was good enough that I understood how to do it. 2) Everyone who's been complaining about "bad attitude" can't really say anything...you guys are worse when you start insulting people instead of giving constructive criticism...
@CCKid716 What you really want to avoid are the little tight loops. These are not tight loops, so there is no appreciable stress. Every loop you make adds a twist to the cord. Going over-under alternates these twists in opposite directions, so they cancel each other out. However, earbud cords are short and light enough that it's easy to untwist them, almost automatic if you just let them dangle. So over-under is kind of overkill here. But for, say, a 50 ft XLR cable, it's essential.
The same thing can be accomplished by twisting the wire as you coil. Making the coil introduces a twist to the wire doing his method you counteract that twist by coiling in the other direction, simply twisting the wire while coiling in the same direction removes the twist. The only reason why you would use the over-under method is if the wire you're coiling is huge or attached to something at both ends.
Except he was saying over time it damages the cable. Use your ears. He didn't say "They'll immediately die." He even explains it for you. Watch the video.
i have been wrong all this time. i never knew about over-under. and i am a guitarist! nice technique editing, btw... i noticed that. tho i might agree w/ other critics that the second angle chosen was not much better than the first.
Coming up with an earphone wrapping method is something that any pothead can come up with. It's not like cracking the theory of relativity. Try to put across your point less superciliously next time. That goes for the theoretical physicists out there too! :P
It would be better if they made headphone cable out of something more substantial than hair thin enameled copper. You know, like 3 actual wires each individually insulated like they did in days gone by. On the other hand if they made headphone cable the way they do now 50 years ago Dennis Nielsen wouldn't have been able to murder peoole with his headphone cable.
I'm sorry but I still don't know how to loop it the proper way. Call me dumb and slow but I can't get a clear shot of what you're doing. Also, why a different person at the end? lol
It always amazes me how critical and negative the comments are in RUclips videos. It makes me worry about our country. cRap, I just started to be negative.
Did you see the guy in the background a 2:33 I still can't figure out what he is doing! :) I agree that while you medthod is okay the insulting of other cord wrap methods is not needed.
Really poor demonstration, can't see what he is doing and he keeps using words like, "this" . Would really like to learn this but the demo is so poor, I can't figure out what he's doing.
Nice Technique. These other video people should be embarrassed to give out such junk information that can only lead to kinked and broken cables. Why won’t their friends tell them?
@jlgm25 I agree with the technique - I also agree with his bashing of the inferior techniques - but you have to admit he comes off as kind of a prick... plus it took him 3 minutes to explain something he could have probably explained in 1.
that guy is seriously really annoying... i didn't know i was going to watch this and be called an idiot. When my earbuds are all f'd up i just get some electrical tape and fix them. not too hard. and whats with the guy folding clothes in his boxers in the background?
Naw, I'm going to do it like those idiots with the fat hands and just wrap my earphones like normal. First, they're cheap to replace. And second, I've been doing the fat finger's stupid wrapping method and, after three years, they're still working. 02:04 Oh, shit! There's some kinks on it as well. FAIL!
No, I cannot see your technique because of your terrible edits. You cut to a different shot right in the middle of the technique. Plus, Mark is an obnoxious annoyance.
![ATEEZ(에이티즈) - [GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2] Preview](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/X4PfgRPBUVo/mqdefault.jpg)
it is called a union wrap for speaker and lighting cables on a stage......used for hoses, cables, line, rope,
This is a fantastic technique... video could have been shorter and better explained. Has kept my earbuds alive for over 2 years.
Some closer, slower detail and references to physical directions, relationships, things, would help me to understand the conceptual 'unloop' bit.
Also, I can wrap my earphones round and round and untangle them in an instand, so how is this any better? Does it twist them less?
I really don't understand how the hell would people dislike this? it's pretty useful

It would have been better without the camera cutting to and from the close up of your hands and back. This confuses me greatly.
and he did it twice!

TL;DR 2:10
Ty
got the point.. thanks @hackcollege.. the cable remain straight when i am untangle it.. i believe this technique can save my earphone a longer life
best method iv seen on utube

Who's the dude in the background?
Wonderful! Just what I ever needed! Great! Thank you!
No this guy is completely right, the videos he's making fun of are ways that really are bad for your headphones.
Except he was saying over time it damages the cable. Use your ears. He didn't say "They'll immediately die." He even explains it for you. Watch the video.
@Sahfarry what do you mean
Why are your 7 banana hands better than the other guy's?
i have been wrong all this time. i never knew about over-under. and i am a guitarist!
nice technique editing, btw... i noticed that. tho i might agree w/ other critics that the second angle chosen was not much better than the first.
Awwww, did he make you cry by insulting your wrapping techniques? Let's start a support group.
@codekiln can you even post links in comments?
For those, like me, who would like to cut straight to the point, start looking through the video from 01:11
Im having a massive problem working the under part out, I need a whole video just detailing that!!
Big problem is, when the plug enters the loop-bundle you get as many knots as there are loops.
And that happens easily.
Coming up with an earphone wrapping method is something that any pothead can come up with. It's not like cracking the theory of relativity. Try to put across your point less superciliously next time. That goes for the theoretical physicists out there too! :P
I think this is the best wrapping technique i have seen :) Big Godzilla +++ pluses for you and your team :D
I'd say this works. bring a case along and have a string knot around handy.
Don't mind the haters. The over under is good. Thanks
simple enough instructions
no need for the insults in the video
The joke at the end is funnier than the guy in the video...
It would be better if they made headphone cable out of something more substantial than hair thin enameled copper.

On the other hand if they made headphone cable the way they do now 50 years ago Dennis Nielsen wouldn't have been able to murder peoole with his headphone cable.
How am I gonna put that in my pocket.
cracked it
Feb 28, 2020. Anyone?
@TheKm123456789 I got one with my camera and it doesnt even have an earbud jack.
Seriously, Basically this is "Use a wire tie". With three minutes of padding.
Hack Kindergarten is more like it.
lol looks like someone's taking a dump in the background at 1:21!
Started out badly, but the technique was helpful
I HAVE A FISH BONE TO HELP ME WRAP THEM THEYRE VERY USEFUL LOOK FOR IT ON EBAY ITS CHEAP
So you are just winding the cable like a bunch of clove hitches.
l have retractable earphones which is much easier and faster. Just the one push of a button and it retracts, no tangles, nothing!!
Nice video! Thank's.
Don't take it personally.
Bogan explaing, geek commenting at the end and a guy without pants doing his washing at 2:47 rofl
I am a major cheapskate, so when people have been seeing me use a twist tie for the last twenty years- all I received was scorn.
Bah I say.
He claims that this technique is the most ultimate technique. But you know, his cords still looks like crap.
I'm sorry but I still don't know how to loop it the proper way. Call me dumb and slow but I can't get a clear shot of what you're doing.
Also, why a different person at the end? lol
oh my god, it took the guy almost 4 minutes to explain that??
who carries twistie ties with them
I just loop my headphones normal - and guess what, it work!
It always amazes me how critical and negative the comments are in RUclips videos. It makes me worry about our country. cRap, I just started to be negative.
@TheKm123456789 I got fishbones with my camera.
Did you see the guy in the background a 2:33 I still can't figure out what he is doing! :)
I agree that while you medthod is okay the insulting of other cord wrap methods is not needed.
2:33 Random guy in shorts in the back.
I never thought the dislike button had a real purpose until I saw the beginning of this video. The cockiness was so unnecessary.
Really poor demonstration, can't see what he is doing and he keeps using words like, "this" . Would really like to learn this but the demo is so poor, I can't figure out what he's doing.
Nice Technique.
These other video people should be embarrassed to give out such junk information that can only lead to kinked and broken cables. Why won’t their friends tell them?
So if I want to wrap my headphones before I die.... Don't use this technique.
and it got 97183 views...WTF!?
it would help if the teaching was from ONE viewpoint, instead of going back and forth at the most important moments
but im not a wrapper
Why didn't you just tell us
i didn't want to watch you critique hands and bananas
Every time he attempts to show the hardest part of the method the camera angle changes. Poor editing and direction.
Good method, so many haters.
excuse me...theres a man in his underpants in the background distracting me from properly wrapping my cords :/
Yay 3:40 min of fideling with ear bud headphones :S
"Idoits" is kind of a strong word in this case sir. Hrm douche hrm
iPod earbuds are horrid sounding.
Uh...don't twist them up? It's so bad for headphones.
@jlgm25 I agree with the technique - I also agree with his bashing of the inferior techniques - but you have to admit he comes off as kind of a prick... plus it took him 3 minutes to explain something he could have probably explained in 1.
RUclips = Your Country?
thanks man for the technique...but not cool making fun of that kids fat fingas lol
Fucking Geed.
...youre?
Common knowledge
why are you so 90s
why is there a guy changing in the background?....
very unprofessional and you took too long to explain something as easy as tying a rope.
@mb5xx Your method is still fucked up.
that guy is seriously really annoying... i didn't know i was going to watch this and be called an idiot. When my earbuds are all f'd up i just get some electrical tape and fix them. not too hard.
and whats with the guy folding clothes in his boxers in the background?
Naw, I'm going to do it like those idiots with the fat hands and just wrap my earphones like normal. First, they're cheap to replace. And second, I've been doing the fat finger's stupid wrapping method and, after three years, they're still working.
02:04 Oh, shit! There's some kinks on it as well. FAIL!
I stopped watching this video when you said "look at all this kinkage"
@whiteyford88 haha nice
Like so . . . this is ridiculous
you cant even make that seem like usefull advice, lol
@codekiln doesn't look like it. useless!
Some of us have jobs, and have quality earbuds :)
You sound like you hate life
Gay!!
No, I cannot see your technique because of your terrible edits. You cut to a different shot right in the middle of the technique. Plus, Mark is an obnoxious annoyance.
"thats about wraps it up"?
gay pun by a gay
It has been 10 years since this comment. I hope a decade was enough time for your views to change.
