Is there a certain way to properly coil your IEMs?

Ideas? Tips? I usually just use 2 -3 fingers to wrap the cable around and keep it neatly.

That's exactly what I do, never bother with the included carrying case or pouch.

There's actually a proper way to coil guitar cables but i doubt it applies to IEMs because of the size of it.

There's this one if you can be bothered but I never can so I just wrap them round the fingers.

I usually coil them round my iPod nano and stuff the lot into one of my weight-training gloves, neat and protected.

 This was what i was talking about! over and under. It's good for guitar cable but using this method for IEMs is just dumb.

I wrap arounf 3 fingers and then case them. I think the issue is the pocket and not the wrap. When unwrapping let them hang loose with a shake before using. It will take the spin out that gets put in by wrapping.

You can do the over under for earphones if you desire. I just wrap it loosely around 3 or 4 fingers depending on the size of the case and then put it in a case. The wrap does not matter like mentioned above but rather where you are putting your earphones.

when wrapping any cable around your fingers, make sure to give it a 1/4 turn for each loop.

Good God, man!  Three minutes and forty seconds for what could have been covered in 20 seconds?  Someone stab him with a steak knife.
