Best Answer

The most basic reason that headphones are magnetic is that electro-magnetic force is required to move the tiny diaphragms in the headphones. Electircal currents inside wires in the earpieces provide attraction and repulsion from a fixed magnet, causing a diaphragm to vibrate and sound emerges.
