I have repaired my headphones many times over the years. I have several different types,  
600 ohms, 2K ohms (per phone) and 3200 ohms. 

My best set is a set of phones from that deck-talker sound-powered unit.

For that tubular bit at the end of the wires, I use short sections of properly sized brass 
tubing, insert the wire into the tubing, then solder those, filling the tubing with solder.

I don't use the tinsel wire, since I don't have a source for it, so I use zip-cord. Zip-cord is 
made up of many fine wires and is fairly flexible.

Although it doesn't last as long as the tinsel wire, since soldered wire gets brittle, it lasts 
several years and replacing it has not been that difficult.
