MDR-EX51LP cord question

[magicianb]

I got the headphones and they sound great... but they aren't so ideal for wrapping up on the go since they have that big plastic piece at the split of the earphone wires. I feel like it's not good for the wires to wrap that part because it's not very natural for the cord. How do you guys deal with wrapping that part of the cord when not using the ipod? Or is it okay to wrap that part around something like the sumajin wrap or just around the wires themselves?

Edit: oh yeah, is that plastic case for the earbuds really necessary to use?

i store the buds in my iSkin accessories pouch in a loose coil with the plastic bud case..

the plastic case, i admit, is very flimsy and seems useless, but when you stuff the whole thing in your pocket or a pocket of some sort, it decreases tangling a lot.. but the cord is still exposed.

I have a little pouch that has drawstrings on either end of the pouch. I just throw them in there and put them in my pocket and I'm good to go! I wouldn't worry too mucha bout how the cord bends and wraps...
