Like any relationship, a headset relationship is complicated. But not in a metaphorical sense. Regardless of which one you have, you will always encounter ups and downs, and not just when it comes to sound levels. And while relationships are sometimes strained, whether it's because the cable is too short or something else, there's nothing so bad that it calls for a marriage counselor that some good music can't solve.
Especially now that science is behind it all. The researchers identified the factors that cause entanglement Apple headphones. I know I don't need to explain how annoying it is because the headphones 'learn' knots every time you wear them in your pocket. Because you know that. What you don't know is what leads to it. They turned out to be the main culprits cable length and amount of vibration. And when these two falots conspire against each other, scientists are able to identify a curve that reveals the degree of probability of a screw-up. The latest findings are related to the research "Spontaneous knotting of an agitated string" (Raymer and Smith, 2007), which states that a rope closed in a box, shorter than 46 cm, will almost never get complicated - regardless of the level of 'activity'. But when it comes to a rope between 46 and 150 cm long, the probability will increase by leaps and bounds. The longer it is, the higher the chance above 50%, which in some places is also a limit beyond which one cannot go, since the rope is already in its own way in such a small space. That these data are not twisted from the vine is evidenced by 3415 experiments, from which the following graph was created:

Unfortunately, Apple's headphones are flat the 'right' length-139 cm- which means that whenever you put them in your pocket, purse or some other small space and they don't sit still, the probability of them coming back crumpled looks like 50%.
Maybe the most interesting finding the research is that as a result of physics, the headphones can knot themselves, which means that no matter how neatly you fold them, they will always search tirelessly path to the node. And the schematic diagram nicely demonstrates how this happens.
