Am I the only one that can use the Apple provided slider, slide it to the top, then wrap my headphones neatly and put them into a pocket in my bag and have them come out the same way they went in?

I haven't had issues with tangled headphones for years now...

Once someone pointed me to the Better Way to wrap headphones [1] I also haven't had a problem with tangles.

Though Apple increased the stiffness of the stock earbud cords at some point, so using this method (IME) can cause the cords to spiral and twist in weird ways. The extra weight of some magnets might well hold down that problem. [2]

You are not. Although, I had more trouble with the Apple earbuds than with a more premium earbud.
