I think there are variants where there are some real metal strands in
there, together with many non-metal fibres.

After weeks to get my sound isolated earphones, which cut out surrounding noise
perfectly with a bit of music, I ordered an iPod shuffle, a hotel matchbox sized MP3 player.
But to keep my address private I sent it to my old address which redirects to my PO BOX,
I always do that for mail order and on the occasion a courier goes to my old address they
soon work it out and I get them to send it to the PO BOX themselves..
JB HIFI didn't do that, it says order complete and no IPOD... yada yada yada, so I cut
the cables on the Blackberry earphones and the $90 Sound Insulating earphones, well
worth the money!
There's 5 wires! Blackberry uses a smal USB plug so I was trying to plug my SI earphones
into the Blackberry. So I snip further up the cable where it splits into 2 and there's 2 wires
but different colours to the 5 at the base of the cable. OK I'm going to have to hotwire the
earphones and see what gives a signal. So I snip the $90 earphone cable and despite having
stripped 1000 wires with my teeth with 100% record, this cable is made of weird rubber,
and the wires aren't even copper or insulated, they're frayed wire in the same rubber covering,
insulate by a powder coating it seems, I got one wire stripped but no luck. 2 earphones wrecked,
now I have to buy a paper with good ole earplugs and hope I don't get verbally assaulted too badly.

OK, the headphones would not come with the radio, they would be your
own property and therefore outside the scope of this discussion. The
microphone coiled lead is very likely to use a type of Litz wire for
flexibility. Litz is not designed to be soldered, though it is
possible but tricky. Crimping is the preferred method of connection.
I assume
that someone who spends every waking hour trying to chat up young
ladies on the cb would also tinker with them to try to impress those
same YL's. It is safe to assume that you added accessories such as
desk microphones and all sorts of headphones and earphones so as your
siblings, parents and later your wife and kids didn't hear what you
were getting up to on the cb. Now THIS lesson is free.

It is not used *in* the radio, it is used in an *accessory*. I do not
own any CB Radios, but of those on the market - the external speaker
socket may be used with an *optional* external speaker. External radio
speakers most commonly use 13 strand twin-core copper wire, not Litz
wire. It is not recommended to plug headphones into the external
speaker socket due to impedance mismatch and the excessive sound
pressure levels that may be experienced with headphones/earphones.
