The audio signal flows through the wire, and moves the speaker. The speaker moves air, making sound. We demonstrated the basics of how a speaker works back in our Audio Speakers article. How many speakers are in a home? Count cell phone speakers, but not microphones. Count each ear-bud in any music playing device you might have.
Which ones use neodymium magnets? Usually it's the ones where small size counts. While the huge speaker of a subwoofer might utilize a ceramic magnet, the tiny earbuds you use with your smartphone or mp3 player are likely to use neodymium magnets. This is a huge category.
