Contest Sponsored by Dremel. Wait for drivers to install. You may need to take it apart completely in order to modify wiring. I did this with a Bose headset. P.S. Once done - mount the power connector (3.5mm jack) into the hole you've drilled for it and start assembling. Do the same for 3.5mm Jack connector. Reply Run a pair of wires through headpiece. Question Point is, you can save a lot of room in whatever project you are doing like headsets. Reply Make sure you don't block the Bluetooth module. Do not overheat the battery, because it may stop working or explode! unless you paid several hundred dollars for "audiophile grade" than you likely wont. Because the headphone I'm using is Urbanears plattan 2 and it's cable comes out it's not a bluetoothed one but you can unplug the wire and I'm having a problem figuring out where to solder the cable which i soldered to my bluetooth module ( it is a hc06 ). Is it possible to connect the two speakers using two bluetooth modules? Did you make this project? Fortunately I had a nice thick padding on it and everything fit nicely around it.

If your headphones have hinges, then you really need to avoid guiding wires through moving parts. I am using a round switch with latches, so i don't have to glue it. Would it be possible to add in a microphone? Hi Guys, just an added thought you can buy a complete Bluetooth module with built in battery, charging port and charge indicator for around 10 to 20 bucks on ebay and this way you have all in one package.
check the speakers inside the headphones for 4 or 8 ohm (ohms use the Greek capitol letter omega https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega).

Now the one I'm showing you is an older one with the earlier USB charging port but the newer ones have the new micro USB port. what about 18Ohm speakers or headphones? The other side only needs to be connected to wiring in your headpiece. The problem is it too powerful for headphones. 3 years ago.

Use your grinder to make a hole large enough for your power switch. Test power connector and power switch, before putting everything together. A smaller battery? Hi . I tested a 3.7v 500mAH battery (it wasn't charged enough) and it gave the same volume and power, but I don't know much mAH my headphones use. Maximum current consumption with 16Ohm speakers is about 150mA per channel, so in theory you will get no less than 8 solid hours of rocking and banging on full volume until you loose your hearing. Once the battery is charged, unplug your headphones from power supply. 1 year ago. I don't think u can ,Bluetooth module HC05 or HC06 as it is not meant for audio transmission its a not really compatible for hid purpose such as audio receiving.Its meant for serial communication.You generally need a dedicated Bluetooth decoder there are cheap.If u want i can suggest a few such modules.

Make sure you leave enough space for other components.when installing power switch. It can be done in less than 2 hours if you are familiar with the topic, and no more than 1 evening for a complete newbie. I have a set of bluetooth earbuds that I hate and a set of wired over the ear headset that I love. Tape this contraption to the outside part of the earpiece housing with electrical tape, but keep it just below the board(where wires start).

After the initial test run my 8 y.o.

If you did cut too much plastic - use hot glue to hold switch in place. How do I know if I need an amplifier for a given impedance? only audio-fools would use headphones with such high impedance that an amplifier is needed to hear anything. 4 years ago. You may also assemble and mount it (we are done here).

Drill holes in small portions, because high friction from rotary tool will cause plastic to melt and burn.

Solder 3 wires to the battery. On the active side solder two ground wires and one active speaker wire. Participated in the Hand Tools Only Contest, Participated in the Teach It!
Anything? At the end you will hear a short bell from your headphones, which means you are connected. Don't like the feel of being "chained" to your computer? Select one earpiece, which will hold all the active components, including battery and Bluetooth module. If so please make an instructable on it. Reply I have a circuit board I took out of a bluetooth speaker it has an amplifier,bluetooth, a port to charge,an on off switch and is the size of your thumb. Make sure you don't overheat solder points, because they are easily damaged. Attach all three wires to the power connector and then extend "+" wire to the second leg of the power switch. I have bought a couple to use on a portable boom box to be able to send music from phone for example. "+" and "-" are always marked. The best way around is to drill a hole right in the middle of the "arm" and make a matching hole in the earpiece housing (see pictures).

Can I rip the guts out of the earbuds and use them to wire the over the ear? And this is only 1000mAh!

Or a part number? Yes you can, there may be a difference in ohm values, but not enough that it would concern you. The main objective is to modify your wired headphones into stereo bluetooth headset with the ability to work at least 6 hours on full charge and being able to recharge without any complications. These are not heavy duty Beats just cheapies I picked up at the "Just Over a Dollar" store, so if they get screwed up I don't care. on Step 3, Can you please help with figuring out where to solder my cables to? Have you got a link? Some come with a female audio jack and some with male audio plug. I've used my old phone as power supply, because I only had one spare 7.5V adapter, which happened to be a charger from my battery-donor-phone =). battery was able to power this device for almost 10 straight hours (I don't like to turn it up that much). If you are unable to connect, try to reset headphones and scan again. Then you came to the right place! Reply Why do not you put a microphone electrect too? The first image shows the pinout for BLK-MD-SPK-B module. all of them are usb chargeable and easy to use. I had to perform a little restoration after accidentally scratching off the ground connector. If you drill too close to the edge of housing, you may damage it or the speaker won't fit. don't have exact part number but you can look on eBay under "Bluetooth receivers" or just Bluetooth there are lots of them online prices are pretty cheap too. The middle one is used to determine whether the battery is charging(blue wire on the picture). What do you all think? I'll try to come up with more permanent solution in a few days, but this would do for now. You may need to drill some holes and use some glue to hold wires in place. I have done it quite a few times and achieved great results. While scanning, flip the power switch on your freshly made headphones and wait for connection. Enable bluetooth on your phone, tablet or computer and scan for audio devices. In case there is a popup window asking for a Pairing PIN: it is " 0000 ". If your battery is loose - stick it to the back side of earphone housing and put a little hot glue to it's sides. In case there is a popup window asking for a Pairing PIN: it is "0000". 2 years ago Charging only requires a steady supply of at least 500mA at 3.5-4V.you can use any charging device or power supply(just don't use the middle wire from the battery), but you won't be able to see whether it is fully charged or not. Water Synthesizer With MakeyMakey and Scratch, Rotary tool or small grinder (I am using a $20 grinder bought from China), Victim headphones with enough space inside to hold the battery, 1mm wire (preferrably 4 different colors and at least 1m each), 3.5mm Female Jack connector (mountable, not the ones you solder on PCB$). If you are going to use a new 2400mAh battery, you will get much more than that.

Make sure the switch sits firmly in the socket, because you don't wanna end up pushing it inside and breaking the whole thing. This frustrating activity (I'll let you know why in a minute) requires minimum tools/materials and at least some experience working with hand tools and soldering iron. Share it with us! We are going to use pins 3,4,5 for audio output and pins 12,13 for power. There is also a danger of overcharging the battery (shortens it's life and may cause overheating).

Is there anything I can do. 3 months ago, Independently u can but it will pose a very difficult situation when trying to configure ur connection. Thank you, I understand. not for standard headphones. This is a quick DIY project. Every soldering operation on Bluetooth module damages contacts even more, so once it is done - you may not want to take it apart. Enable bluetooth on your phone, tablet or computer and scan for audio devices. Almost forgot the most important thing! One ground connection will go to the second speaker, and the other two wires - to Bluetooth module.

PCB contacts on this module are really small and there is a high chance that you'll have to redo this part several times.

Disassemble your headset.

If you feel that contact points are a bit loose - you can cover them with a little bit of hot glue or just use nail polish. Resistors? i have hc-06 but its have soldered a board and its have gnd 5v tx rx state en ports. Wait for drivers to install. ATTENTION: The new version of wireless headphones is available here. While scanning, flip the power switch on your freshly made headphones and wait for connection. İ dont want to desolder it how can i use it ? Tired of ripping wires on your headset?
