I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair’s wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I’m using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I’d like to hear other solutions.

Poorly
The only right answer
I run the cable on top of my desk instead of under. Makes the desk look more cluttered, but no risk of catching the cable in the wheels.
This is what I do. My headphone amp is on my desk, so it just worked.
Do you want cats on your desk? Cause that’s how you get cats on your desk.
I have these things all over on the underside of my desk.

It’s also how I keep the end of my phone charger always within reach.
Link already died?
Still works as far as I can tell.
Ah, indeed. No idea why it didn’t work yesterday.
This is the winner, I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
Roll up the excess cable into a loop and sellotape the loop to stay in a loop. Maybe looks ugly but nobody else sees it lol.
Shorter cables are probably the best solution.
I switched from wired to wireless because my chair kept eating the cable.
But maybe try getting a longer cable or extension cable and plugging it into the back of the computer and running it up behind the desk and across the top.
I used a coiled cable and put my audio interface to my side higher up on a shelf. That way when I am seated the headphone cable barely touched the ground.
I don’t. When at home, Bluetooth speaker; (unless doing sound-critical stuff, of which I use my earphones) When on a move, earphones.
if my cat isn’t chewing on them I consider it a win
There’s very cheap cable holders for VR applications that attach to your wall or ceiling (non-destructively) and hold cables above you. I used those above my desk to hold the headphone cables, so the cable runs up the wall behind my desk, and then over my head. Keeps it off the floor and away from everything else.
I got this thing called the J22 that I can plug my wired headphones in and put it my pocket or clip to my shirt that then connects via Bluetooth. No more issues with getting wires caught to stuff and no lag.
The cable on the Grado SR60X and her siblings are comically long. They are pretty thick too, so I decided to braid them up, reducing their length from 2 down to about 0.6 metres. You can look up some easy guides on YouTube for this.
