That is the main reason why people replace the cable, I usually get my replacements from amazon, just make sure you get the same connection type for your iems, I usually get the Linsoul brand, the ones around $20.

Go wireless. No tangles. No taking your player out to pause and stuff.
I thought we were waiting for new Bluetooth next year? I have noticed the KZ AZ09 but it gets pretty mixed reviews on Amazon (3.7, doesn't work for many). Surely won't sound as good as the iBasso DC03 or the Xduoo Link I have on the way.Go wireless. No tangles. No taking your player out to pause and stuff.

What I do: Wrap cable around fingers, place in clamshell with plug on the side of the roll, same side of the clamshell every time. Then when I zip open clamshell, I always pull plug from that side. Stops 90% of my tangles. Have an orientation for the zipper when you open it to know which side is which. Or a mark on the outside. Or the mesh pocket on the inside. Or...

In my experience those types of tightly braided cables tend to be very kink prone.
You can try is an "over-under" cable wrap technique- a couple bigger loops if it's just to quickly set the iem down- but once you get the hang of it it doesn't take more than a few seconds even for a smaller loop:
best combined with a small velco wrap or a cable keeper like so: https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/248731547/20DF9770-0E46-403C-A620-10962F3F05F9.jpeg
or leave a shirt clip attached to the cable and use that to secure the coil i.e. https://s.yimg.com/aah/headsetzone/plantronics-06439-20-clothing-clip-3.png
There are also some small round cable keepers you can quickly wrap the cable around.
