Poorly

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.

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.

I have a hook on the cabinet next to my desk that I hang my headphones on when not in use, but that the cable is also attached to. This keeps it out of the way. So the cable is basically hanging between the cabinet and my head. The cable also separates in the middle, so it tears away if I accidentally get up and walk away with them on.

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 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.

Shorter cables are probably the best solution.

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.

I made my own anchor points with some mason line, a broken DVD case and double sided tape been going on for 4 years now. Think there's adhesive cable clips too that comes with several for cheap so you don't have to go through my dumb idea just prepare the area by cleaning it with alcohol first

NZXT Puck. I have 2 which means I have 4 cable holders.

I have a pair of Philips Fidelio X2HR, they are connected to my Röde VideoMic Go II so I use my mic as a soundcard when gaming with friends.

My mic is mounted on a microphone arm, and the cables are routed along the arm, unfortunately my X2HR has a VERY long cable, but it commes with a wire clamp thing so I have simply collected the exessive cable into a loop with the clamp and let it hang down from the arm but never low enough for me to roll over the cable with my chair.

If you don't have a clamp, I would recommend some steel wire to make a sort of clamp to organize the cable.

I drilled long screws in a shelve, wrapped it with thick paper and ducttape. Works like a charm.

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.

My pc is on top of the desk and the ports are on top. The cable just hangs down and it is sufficiently long to allow mobility even a bit further away. It is also short enough that it cannot touch the floor.

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.

if my cat isn't chewing on them I consider it a win

I don't. When at home, Bluetooth speaker; (unless doing sound-critical stuff, of which I use my earphones) When on a move, earphones.

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.
