Solved by WereCatf,
The hackish way of charging the headphones without official charger-unit could be e.g. opening the headphone-unit up, checking if it is, indeed, a li-ion battery in there. If so, buy a TP4056-module on eBay and make sure there's a DW01A protection-circuit on-board, and hack together a connector of your liking from the module to the battery. Also, check that the resistor on the TP4056 is set so that you're not charging at more than 1C-current, where C = the battery's capacity in amp-hours.
The TP4056 is a lithium-battery charger-chip and DW01A is a protection-circuit to protect against over-voltage, over-discharge etc.
