How to straighten your Apple Headphones

June 18th, 2010

Many find it annoying how the curlyness of the iPhone or iPod Touch headphones gets worse as time goes on, some even get to buying new ones just because of this. Here is how to get them straight once again! And it only takes a day or two…

Step 1
Find a suitable location whereby you can attach your headphones in the dangly position.

Step 2
Get two pens (preferably with clippy bits)
or even something else you can attach things onto and affix these miniature weight like devices to each earbud of the iPhone or iPod  headphones.

Step 3
Attach the inserty end (headphone jack) to the top of your location whereby you can attach your headphones in the dangly position and confirm to yourself they are hanging straight. There is an iPhone app for this if you fancy it.

Step 4
Go back to your headphones after leaving them untouched for at least 24 hours and then remove the weights.

Step 5
Detach your headphones from the affixed upright dangly position and insert the inserty end into your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

This may seem a joke… but a very helpful lady on the Apple Store Chat told me this, at first I thought she was making fun of me when I asked her how to straighten them and then I tried this…. BAM.
