Cable fish.

I saw a post where someone braided their cable by looping it back onto itself. Pretty clever if I'd say so myself.

velcro strips. or to be fancy-

i use the heftier cable turtle and sumajin smartwraps, but for the lightest option, go for velcro strips.

I keep the factory-supplied ties in place, and carefully pull out sections of the cord instead, making it only as long as necessary. Beats having to re-coil the cord myself.

thank god for dt990's coiled cord, such a convenience

no long cords to deal with but can stretch long if u want to move away sometimes.

Wow... im surprised nobody suggested going around the belt straps as I've been doing this for about 3 years now with my SR60's

Can you take pictures of what you mean?

Do you mean wrapping the cord around your jeans and using that as a belt? I guess it would work even with a belt inserted.
Pissing will be a pain though.

LOL. I do that sometimes with my Grados. Something about wrapping a cable around my neck just makes me uncomfortable though.

Has anybody tried wrapping it around their neck while also using it as a belt?

I've tried the trifecta of cheapness...cable tie, rubber band, and velcro...might have to try a Sumajin smartwrap next.

I want something lightweight and small --something you can wear without appearing too geeky. Thanks.

No offense dissembled, but you might as well just put it inside your shirt. Wearing full headphones out in public, at least where I come from, pretty much announces "geek coming." I doubt that a little more or less bulge in your shirt will alter that impression too much one way or the other.

And yes, I've done it.

lol I wear big headphoens out in public allt he time... noone thinks i'm a geek lol if anythign they think i'm a punk or a cool dj xP. Although half of this is because of my boots/jeans with a nice beat up motor leather jacket xP. Big headphones rule xP, hmm i always wanted to use it as a belt and wrap it around but tis a pain when you want to put the headphones away to un strap it.

I don't use big cans. I use the Ety Er6s. Subtlety is the key.

Smartwrap, syncwrap or a recable will do the trick. Or failing all that, a rubber band.

I've looked & looked but unfortunately I can't find one on the floor for my MS1s.

I simply cut too long cables.
