Have the speaker portion of earbuds connected to the cable by a small plug, instead of being permanantly wired. That way when they get hopelessly tangled you can just pop off the speakers and tug the wires free without having to run all the 'buds back through the knots.

Also helpful for when the cable breaks and the buds are fine. [+]
