This level of organization will melt your stress away.
Our friend Marie Kondo has taught us that we should only keep things that #sparkjoy — and I’m sure that your annoying headphone wires that always get tangled don’t exactly scream “joy.”
But don’t toss those headphones just yet! Kondo also taught us that everything can be easily maintained as along as every item has its own home. That means those jumbled mess of wires, whether they’re attached to headphones or stuffed behind your TV, should all have homes to stay nice and neat (and save your sanity).
These 15 cord management products will keep your wires neat and make you feel a little more zen every day. And couldn’t we all use that?
1. Gear Tie
Best for: Headphone wires
There’s a reason this gear tie was our top selling stocking stuffer during the holidays: It’s pretty much indestructible thanks to its bendable design and rubber exterior. It can be twisted, tied, reused and it’s water-resistant.
2. Flower Power USB Charging Station
Flower power indeed! This adorable charging station comes with four USB ports so you can charge all of your tech at the same time (and do it in style).
3. Cable Station
This compact mini station tidies up all the loose cords on your desk. Its brilliant design keeps cords snugly tucked in so they won’t slide onto the ground when unplugged.
4. Wooden Box Cable Organizer
This is super stylish solution to hiding any jumble of cables. Simply slide a power strip into the box, place the wooden cover on top, and no one will see the mess of plugs inside.
5. Big Cable Bite
This little lion isn’t just cute, but is also actually helps to prevent cable breakage by clipping around cables at the plug to prevent the dreaded “double chin.”
6. Hair Styling Storage Unit
Finally, a place to store your hot tools before they’re cool. The heat-resistant mesh helps speed up the cooling process, and the storage pocket in the back keeps cords out of the way. Best of all, the whole caddy can be hung on a rack to clear up valuable counter space.
7. Hanging Cord Bundler
If hanging cords individually is more your style, simply stick this Amazon’s Choice item on the wall to keep your space tangle free. These Command cord organizers keep cords organized and safely out of the way and easily stick to any hard surface without holes or damage.
8. Tech Pouch
Whether storing cables, everyday gear, or travel essentials, Tech Pouch offers origami-style pockets that let you pack more into a smaller space while keeping your items neatly organized and easy to find.
9. Loop Magnets
If you’ve got a magnetic board at your desk or a tangle of cords near your fridge, these loop magnets can corral wires and keep them out of the way in style.
10. CableDrop Minis
These mini CableDrops come with a special adhesive to stick to your desk and keep wires in place and out of the way. You can reposition the adhesive at first application, but it becomes permanent overtime.
11. Earbuds Cord Organizer
RIP to the hours you’ve wasted untangling your earbuds. This earphone organizer snaps your headphones in place, comes in cute pastel colors, and only costs you $5. (Better yet, get some great wireless headphones.)
12. Compact Storage Case
Perfect for people who are always on the go, the zippered pocket in this case holds larger chargers while the elastic slots inside the cover can adjust to fit a variety of different-sized cords. Plus, you can choose from several interior prints.
13. Velcro Cord Organizer
If you have a ton of cables kicking around, this one’s for you. This pack comes with 20 velcro straps in pink, yellow, blue, black, and white. Choose from three sizes to fit various cable needs. Reviewers call them an “excellent value” and great for use “in home or car.”
14. Hold It! Magnetic Keepers
These chic metallic leather magnets are great for keeping headphones and phone chargers organized in your purse. Added bonus: If you flip them inside out, the microfiber side can clean your glasses or phone screen.
15. Cable Management Sleeve
We have a feeling the wires behind your work computer could use something like this. Just bind the cords together and wrap the adjustable neoprene sleeve around them. Reviewers love that it offers flexibility and is cut-to-size.
16. Bamboo Charging Station
If you have a work phone or swear by your tablet, this fashionable bamboo organizer is for you. It can charge iPhones, Androids, and tablets all at the same time with its five-port charging dock, while keeping everything nice and neat.
