I see that this cord stays flexible, but is it tangle free as well? I'm looking for the kind with the soft, tangle free outer covering.

Yes this cord is flexible and lays flat. Its much better than those cheap orange cords you get in stores

I used them for outdoor holiday lighting. I wound them up "elbow to hand" and them seem to be tangle free. Honestly, I haven't had any tangle problems with them (unlike the Christmas lights).

This cord is very much NOT tangle-free. I still use it on just about a daily basis, and if I'm not careful in how I coil it back up, it will take me a solid 20 minutes to untangle before I can use it the next time. I hope that helps!

No. The cables are about 5/32" in diameter. The braiding is nice, but they are kind of stiff. As long as you are stretching the cables about 4' they are tangle free and really handy.

There is a crafty solution to cord tangle: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/diy-tangle-free-headphones-wit-162321

I've never had a problem with the smaller cord fraying (with OR without the power curl). That said I really like the power curl keeping the cord organized and that MAY help prevent fraying (both ends of the power cord are secure tightly when completely wrapped). Hope this helps.

I find the braided one to actually be more maneuverable than the non-braided version that is the same thickness. The "ultra-thin" non-braided is the most maneuverable/flexible, but I feel like it's not a durable either. If you're not moving your cable around often it shouldn't really matter which one you get, so more of a personal preference. I switch between two displays on my laptop regularly and I like the braided version a little more for that, but have a non-braided one for my Xbox.

A little less prone to tangle than the cheap buds. But you can tangle them by stuffing then in you pocket. There is no fix for that one :)+)

The cord is wide on one side but thinner on the other. They do tangle but it isn't hard to get them straightened out before you use them

Simply put: no. It is tangle-enabled. Not hideously so, but they do get somewhat tangly.

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.

I also use the standard orange cord. Works well. They do make a cold weather cord that is blue in color. Say it is much more flexible than the orange (also more expensive)

I have read that if you buy some of those foam noodles (dollar tree has them for $1 each), and cut into 12" sections, then run the cord through the middle, it will make the cord float and not tangle. Hope that helps.

The fish thing you can use to wrap your earphone cord to keep it from tangling. Not sure that's what it is intended for though.

I've used the cord in sub freezing weather. It does become more rigid in cold temps. It's still pliable for rolling up or stretching out straight.

The one I purchased simply plugs in without a twisting motion. Lot's of complaints that they do not stay closed. My accessory plugs are easily dislodged so you constantly have to check they are still plugged in.

They don't tangle as much as u would think for a rounded cord. I keep my cord wrapped around the earphones when I don't use them and I have had no issues with shorts or unwrapping the cord.

wires are thinner and shielded with material thats not sticky. i have not had any tangle issue

The cord isn't too thick. It's like a medium size thickness, not to thin to snap but not too thick that its noticable. Mine hasn't snapped, so I think it depends on the wear and tear of the material. I hope this helps.
