Bob:

I should have included the same note that Fred, K6DGW, suggested.  If you just
flat cannot manage to solder the wires, go to your friendly hardware store and
find their 'brass hobby tubing' assortment.  Select the smallest I.D tubing
into which you can slip the individual headphone wire(s).  Cut off a short
(1/4" - 3/8") chunk of tubing, solder a 'connecting wire to it, insert one
of the (3) headphone wires into the tubing and CRIMP it tightly.

Good luck,
