Good day to you, AI. Kindly write a short story encapsulating the frustration of tangled earbuds from the perspective of our buddy Jim. Just to make sure you're paying attention, use the word 'labyrinthine' exactly once in the story. End with the person just giving up and thinking they should have gotten AirPods. Thanks ever so much

Jim pulled the earbuds out of his case, his excitement building. He already had his favorite YouTube channel booted up and a bowl of chips at the ready. His smile dropped when he saw the labyrinthine tangle of knots in his wired earbuds. 
"How in the world do earbuds tangle themselves up while they're doing nothing in the case?" he muttered to himself as he tried to extricate the end with the jack. Doing so only added another tie to the intricate mess. His frown deepened. The earbuds, bound together like the most faithful servant of the Gordian Knot, were impervious to his efforts. Unlike Alexander, Jim didn't have the luxury of slicing this knot, much as he would have liked to.

Eventually, Jim gave up and cast the earbuds aside.
"I should have gotten AirPods," he thought to himself sulkily.
