Do you think it would be easier for you to untangle your earphones if the cord had a color gradient? Maybe something like the jack end is violet and the bud end is red, and it goes through the entire visible spectrum along the length of the cord. Could also be something like a grayscale gradient. I imagine it making it easier for me to simulate untangling strategies. Surprisingly there are basically no earphones that look like this even merely for aesthetic reasons.

Also, I'm already aware of ways to prevent tangling.

If money is not an issue, wireless headphones is probably at the top of my improve my life for less than $50 list.

You don't have to worry about untangling, putting away or unplugging.

I recommend the ones that sit on your neck like these

Even if money is an issue, it's not that expensive.

I bought 2 from this site and they arrived about 2 weeks later. They are the same exact headphones as my branded ones. Very happy for paying $4 each. Thanks.

oh wow, that is cheap, thanks. I don't have experience in buying generic electronics from china. Is that legit?

I did buy a phone charger from China that does what it's supposed to do. In this case I think the product is likely produced in the same factory as a similar product you would buy in the US but it's more directly sold by a factory instead of intermediaries taking cuts.

Thanks I actually ordered a few from the site because I also think as you do that the product is probably made in the same factory. I happen to own the LG branded ones, and would be very happy if these are of similar quality.
