So a while ago (several months) i bought a pair of hyperx clouds. amazing headset, but i have only one problem. the braided cable came (out of the box) ridiculously tangled, ive never seen anything like it, and by tangled i mean where when left to its own devices the cable automatically curls/tangles up into a bendy mess, ive tried untangling it and pulling to stretch it into position, but it hasnt worked, all i want is for my cable to be normal, help?

you can try winding it the other way.  Other than that, just leave it.  It'll eventually stop doing that.

I agree with what has been said, but you probably won't get it back to mint condition. 

it was never in mint condition, it came like this.

 

Stretch it out straight, put weights at either end and maybe even on it if it is that bad, leave for a few days. That should fix it.

tried it. didnt work.
