They dont look or feel isolated, like ones inside a headphone cable

      It works for now, but the reason most wires have a rubber-like insulator around them is that it takes very little to Crack or abrade a thin coating such as this and turn it into a fire hazard.

      I’m surprised a product with such a small safety margin is allowed for sale.

        • I once accidentaly shorted the connector cables of a battery pack with 4 AA batteries. It very quickly generated enough heat to set the insulation of the cable on fire.

          Don’t underestimate short circuits!
