How to make wireless headphones

Headphones have undergone significant changes over time. Nowadays, thanks to the development of technology, there is a huge range of headsets for every taste. The buyer is given a huge choice - among a wide range, you can find a model in accordance with individual preferences. Recently, wireless headphone options have become especially popular. As the name implies, their main difference from other models is the absence of unnecessary wires.

This ensures convenience and comfort of use. The wires do not get tangled and do not limit the user's actions. You can safely move away from your phone, while the transmitted signal and sound in the headphones will remain intact.

In our article we will talk about ways to make a wireless headset yourself at home. This will save your money and allow you to create the desired model. For convenience, we suggest using step-by-step instructions.

What you need to make wireless headphones

If you decide to make your own wireless headset, you should purchase all the necessary materials and tools, a list of which is presented below:

• classic headphones with wires - you can use your old model;
• adapter for Bluetooth system;

• device for charging the system.

Now about each element of the system in more detail. There should be no problems with the first point; you can take the headset you are currently using, and which you don’t mind redoing (if you perform the assembly steps incorrectly, there is a risk of damaging the device).

You can look for a Bluetooth adapter in stores or order it online. Usually the price per piece varies between 100–300 rubles. A charger or battery can also be easily purchased at an electronics store. To maintain the required charge, you will not need powerful chargers, since their capacity is small and the battery charges quickly enough.

ATTENTION! If you didn’t have headphones and want to use a modern system, it’s easier to buy a ready-made product and not waste time and effort on manufacturing.

If you have already purchased and prepared all the necessary components for the future headset, you can begin making it. An approximate algorithm for creating a device consists of step-by-step execution of the following simple steps:

1. Connect the Bluetooth system adapter to the battery and make sure it works. When connected correctly, an indicator light should appear on the adapter (it should blink).
2. Connect the adapter to your device.
3. From the proposed list of devices in the Bluetooth menu that opens on your equipment, select the required item and connect to the system for their interaction.
4. Once everything is connected, check the operation and sound quality. If necessary, repeat the steps from the very beginning in the same sequence and try changing the audio settings.

Making such a device is an excellent option when you need to get rid of interfering wires, and also if your corresponding connector is damaged and the headphones cannot work in the standard way. However, the homemade accessory also has disadvantages. These include the large size of the resulting product and the presence of protruding wires.

To solve this problem, you can use a special decorative rubber band or clamp to secure the system to the body. To make this addition look more attractive, you can apply patterns to it or cover it with stickers.

This option will be an excellent replacement method and is suitable for comfortable watching TV and listening to your favorite audio recordings.

IMPORTANT! If you want a branded device, it is better to make a purchase at a specialized store. We offer the option of upgrading older wired versions. Such devices may differ from modern models in appearance and quality.

Another way to make wireless headphones with your own hands

In addition, there is another alternative way to modernize your equipment. To do this, as in the previous version, you should first purchase everything you need for work. In this case, the list consists of the following elements:

• a Bluetooth system that is out of order or one that you have not used for a long time due to the fact that it is outdated;
• classic model of headphones with wires;
• soldering iron

The essence of this method is to combine two devices and create a single wireless headset system based on this. The manufacturing process is somewhat more complicated and consists of the following points:

• open Bluetooth and remove the board responsible for signal transmission and connection;
• carefully, trying not to touch or damage the main elements and microcircuits of the device, disassemble the headphones in any convenient way; 

• Using a soldering iron, install the resulting microcircuit into the case;
• If connected and soldered correctly, the work will be carried out without problems - you will receive an excellent accessory at no additional cost.

In this method, it is worth considering a number of factors that play an important role. When working, be especially careful not to damage the board and small wires. The system can only be installed inside the case if there is enough space, otherwise the structure should be soldered from the outside. It is also worth considering the presence of a charging input on the external part of the equipment.
