In the 5th grade I had the same problem. So did half my class so our teacher showed us a way. All
All you have to do is wrap the headphones around your hand then when you take them off tie some sturdy plastic or those twist ties you find at the grocerie store. This keeps them together and untangled.
When you need to use the headphones or earbuds just take off the twosttwist tie and GENTELYGENTLY pull the two loose ends of your headphones. This little hack has saved me many times in the world of headphones and mughtmight help you.
