This is a modern pair of, possibly Chinese made Lightweight headphones, an identical pair of which I have ordered from Amazon. At less than £6 they're not worth spending time on, TBH, but for future reference, I'll bear the points raised by all of you in mind. The wires were originally soldered to the terminals of the midget 'speaker', btw. As for the term 'Tinsel Wire', I don't recall coming across it before, but I have seen similar wire used in headphones and earphones, including a pair of BOSE 'phones. Bring back conventional twin screened wires I say!! Mark, the wire in the 'phones concerned is exactly the type described in thar 'Hackaday' link!
