Speaking of unwanted knot behaviors, your headphones will knot in a pocket if you reel them up around your hand as usual, introducing a twisting moment to the wire. They will knot much less likely, if you fold them into a /\/\/\ shape instead without rotational moves. Not applicable to wireless earbuds.

I've once learned a method to fold my headphones cable that I cannot find anywhere online. You fold the cable in half, twist the cable lengthwise (imagine turning in one direction on a swing), fold the cable in half again and then twist in the other direction (which will mostly happen automatically, because of the tension). I don't remember the last time I had to untwist my headphones cable.
