How to turn wired headphones into wireless ones

Headphones are very popular among many. For the convenience of users, manufacturers produce a variety of accessories that differ in their characteristics and design features. The most popular are wireless devices. Due to the fact that, due to the absence of unnecessary wires, such accessories are very convenient to use, they are used both at home and during training, as well as just while walking and on public transport. However, the cost of such products is slightly higher than that of conventional accessories. Many people ask the question: “Is it possible to make a wireless one if you have a regular headset?”

What is needed to make wireless headphones

To transform a wired accessory into a wireless one yourself, you will need:

• regular wired headset;
• Bluetooth adapter;
• Charger.

REFERENCE! To ensure operation, a charger and a battery with a small capacity are enough!

A Bluetooth adapter is a device that looks like a USB flash drive. You can purchase it at a specialized electronics store or in an online store. The main thing is to acquire a product with the required characteristics. It is worth paying attention to the following:

1. Bluetooth version must not be less than 3.0.The higher the technology, the higher the product characteristics will be, such as: data transfer speed, optimal connection distance, power consumption and others. Don't forget about the version of Bluetooth that is used on the external device. The best option would be if they match.
2. It is worth paying attention to the codecs that are used by the technology. There are three of them in total, and only one of them provides the highest quality data transfer - AptX.

How to make wireless headphones from wired ones

When all the materials necessary for assembly have been purchased, you can begin converting the headphones into wireless ones.

Assembly steps:

1. First, you need to fully charge the adapter. To do this, connect it to a portable charger. If everything is done correctly, the blue indicator on the Bluetooth adapter will light up.
2. After it is fully charged, you should connect it to the headphones.
3. On the device to which you plan to connect, you should open the Bluetooth interface and find the adapter connected to the stereo headset.
4. Then you should connect your devices and start listening to music or watching videos.

ATTENTION! If the resulting structure seems too bulky, you can secure it to the device body using a regular clamp.

If you have an old, broken Bluetooth headset, you can make a more accurate version of wireless headphones. For this you need:

• broken or unnecessary headset;
• headphones;
• soldering iron

Assembly steps:

• a broken headset should be carefully disassembled and the board removed from it;
• if there is space to place the board, then it should be placed inside, if not, it should be secured to the case;
• The portable microphone on the headset has a built-in charger - it also needs to be transferred to the headphones, placed so that the charging connector is outside the product.

ATTENTION! When using an old headset, you do not need to purchase an additional portable charger.

The resulting product cannot be called full-fledged wireless headphones, because the wires remain in place. However, you no longer need to connect it to your smartphone using them. Don't forget about the limited data transmission range of Bluetooth technology.

If you follow the technology and choose the right adapter, making your own wireless headphones is quite simple, and the costs will be minimal.
