Hi All,
It seems that many expensive and cheaper headsets etc now come with this strange super-flexible woven thread/copper combo as the wire that attaches to the phone/mic and plug ends.
Does this wire have a technical name? All my attempts to solder it with good flux and solder have failed abysmally. I now have several headsets and one mic waiting for a miracle solution

I realize the wire's flexibility is to make the headsets last longer but even with the best intentions and gentle handling the much flexed wire breaks.
How does one crimp such a tiny wire on to a solderable connector?
Hoping the magic EEV'ers here can offer a solution that doesn't relegate an otherwise good device to a landfill.
Thanks a lot for your help!
John
