So the rubber casing on my MDR-V6 headphones had split, leaving the cable exposed.
I decided to attempt to follow this tutorial:
http://www.wikihow.com/Repair-Dodgy-or-Broken-Headphones
Basically, I cut the cable, with the plan of stripping the wires inside, and splicing them...
However, the wires inside were not like any wires I've ever seen. I was expecting copper wires coated in rubber...
No. The cables inside were basically thin metal wires wrapped around what looked like white strands of fabric... I've never seen a wire like this.
Here is what the outside of the wires looks like:

And the inside is just thing white strands.
I tried combining and soldering the white strands anyway, but that didn't work. Then I cut the wire and tried combining the outside green/red/brown wires with each other... still no luck.
Anyone know what kind of wire this is, and how to repair it?
