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.

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?
