Make Your Own Bluetooth Wireless Headphones

[fabunobo.livejournal.com]

Ok, I tried the expensive $75 wireless bluetooth headphones. Unfortunately the trial did not last long. The heavy back bar gave me a neck ache and was constantly bumping my jacket. Also the sound was weird due to the silicon noise-reduction style ear inserts that I always dislike anyway wireless or not. So, I decided to make my own wireless bluetooth headphones using the headphones that I already know and love. I have been using this style earbuds for nearly twenty years. I used earbuds before iPod made it cool. This sony style fits my ear like a glove and the sound quality is flawless.



I next bought a cheapie bluetooth dongle that is designed to be worn as a necklace with your earbuds plugged in. It works great, is rechargeable, and cost like, $15. It's tiny and lightweight.



I next bought a hard rubber ear hook for like, $3.



I drilled a tiny hole in the dongle and mounted it to the earhook, reinforcing with superglue.



I cut the cord on a pair of earbuds, measured, rewired, and voila!



Unfortunately, I am out of black electrical tape. I need to run and get some before I am ready to wear them for real. They are super light and stay in place.
