Unless you absolutely feel like spending hours on the wire alone, just use the cable without stripping and braiding the single strands.

The headphones I'M Using for this were made for an iPod because when I push & hold the button in the attached picture the sound is louder. Does anybody have an idea how to keep button pushed in ALL the time?
