Have you tried just folding the wire? What I do is take the earbud piece in one hand, and the other end of the wire in the other hand, double them up so that they both go into the hand that's holding the earbuds. Then I keep doing that until they get small enough to fit in my pocket. They generally don't get too tangled up for me in that way. You could go with a bluetooth headset, but I think you're going to find the responsiveness of Bluetooth less than ideal. It's not too bad, but it can be frustrating at times. I recommend one of the LG Tone headsets. I think they're up to the 900 now. These headsets are stereo. There's a band that goes behind your neck that's made of rubber or something. On either side of the band, aare two little plastic pod-type things, which house the controls and the earbuds when they're not in use. The 900 modle uses retractable wires that keep the earbuds in place. The earlier versions use magnets. There's separate buttons for volume up/down, track prev/next, pause, and a answer calls/Siri button. I have an earlier modle, so I haven't been able to try the retractable wires feature, but I think I'd like it.
