Gear Tie Reusable Rubber Twist Ties from Nite Ize are perfect for temporarily wrapping up cords of appliances, computer equipment, or electronics (eg, headphones). And I do mean PERFECT! The flexibility is just right (flexible but firm) and the rubber coating is excellent... and there are some nice colors too.
I use them for tying up cords for my iPod headphones, rice maker, steam iron, computer cables, and about 100 other annoying electric cords found around the house. This is wonderful because the cords become neat little bundles that can easily be untied and used, and then tied up again, with ease. Cords of counterand desktop appliances no longer have cords hanging around. Headphone cables no longer become a tangled mess. Look around, I'll bet you can count 50 cords that could be tied up.
I say these ties are for temporary use because they are designed to be tied and untied, a million times or so. If you want to permanently tie your cords it's probably better, and surely cheaper, to use good old cable ties (sometimes called zip ties).
How about length? The 3 inch version is perfect for wrapping up iPod headphone or other VERY small cables. You'll be surprised how big (ie, circumference) a bundled cord can be so be careful with the 3 inch. This 6 inch version is just right for wrapping cords of coffee makers, lamps, and perhaps thinner vacuums and so forth. There's an 18 inch version that I've used in the garage for thick extension cords, cords from circular saws, and so forth.
I suppose the downsize is the cost. They are not dirt cheap. But for me the cost is dwarfed by the benefit.
I'm just so mad I didn't "invent" these!

I have not had them for a long time yet so I don't know about long term durability. So far though, I love them. I have several sizes and use them for all sorts of things. Even though they are called "gear ties" they can be used to prop things up and hold objects in a pinch. I use them as a sort of "extra hands" all the time. I've even propped up my phone or tablet on occasion. I've used them in my craft projects when I couldn't find anything else that would hold an item "just so" for me. Let's not forget though, they do work very well holding your gear together. I like that both bright and sober colors are available, depending upon what you need them for. I would not recommend them for cord control as they are just too expensive to get all that you need to do a good job. There are other products much more suited to that. Keep a couple with you. You won't be sorry.
