Has anybody got a technique for replacing the plug on, say, a set
of iPhone ear buds?

I've tried this in the past and failed because the wires are so
fine.

I found the biggest problem was tinning the fine wires, which are insulated
with some kind of coating.
To melt this coating you need a VERY hot soldering iron.

Once these fine wires are actually tinned properly, you can just solder them
onto the plug as normal.
