Seems like a good opportunity to learn soldering.

Can not recommended, those headphone wires are clear coated for insulation, you'd need to burn that off before you'd be able to solder that.

Nothing a quick pass with a lighter can't fix.

Are you sure? They're separated by the outer insulation, they wouldn't need any clear coating unless it was some weird cost-cutting measure.

[–] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure, at least the ones I tried soldering... In the picture there is no additional insulation on the the two copper bundles? Unless they are just shielding for actual insulated signal wire?

Well the wires are still making contact so no need. I do have some old headphones where the wire is literally broken so there im gonna do it
