Braided cables sucking ass

Got some HyperX Cloud II's the other day. Great sound, bit bassy. Mic's meh but I have a snowball on the side, so this one's purely for people who don't want to hear me hammering down on my keyboard after every death.

However, it comes with this thick braided cable. I thought these things were supposed to help against entanglement, but it seems like this shitstring of a rope just makes it worse. Every time I put it down and pick it back up I have to twist it back like three times, otherwise the cable bends straight up and gets in my way. Is this a "just me" experience or does anyone else think these cables suck ass?

You can twist the 3.5mm plug that goes into this thing to untangle it.

If you rotate your headset when you put it down, you should rotate it the other way when you pick it up. if you rotate it the same way everytime it will turn into spagetti

I'm pissed off because I didn't think of this.

I mean yeah, this is true. But the thing is, even if I put it down with the earcups facing away from me (so pulling it straight from my face not twisting it at all) and later putting them back on, they somehow get twisted. This always happens with braided cables and I don't understand why.
