How to make wireless headphones

Headphones have undergone significant changes over time. Nowadays, thanks to the development of technology, there is a huge assortment of headsets for every taste. The buyer is given a huge selection - 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 extra wires.

This provides usability. The wires are not tangled and do not limit user actions. You can safely move away from your phone, while the transmitted signal and sound in the headphones will remain.

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

What you need for making 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;
• Bluetooth adapter

• device for charging the system.

Now about each element of the system in more detail. There shouldn’t be any problems with the first item, you can take the headset you are using now, and you don’t mind remaking it (if the assembly points are not correctly executed, there is a risk of ruining the device).

The adapter for bluetooth can be searched in stores or ordered online. Typically, the price per unit varies between 100-300 rubles. A charger or battery can also be easily purchased at an electronics store. To maintain the desired charge, powerful chargers will not be required, since their capacity is small and the battery charges quickly enough.

ATTENTION! If you did not have headphones, and you want to use a modern system, it is easier to buy a finished product and not waste time and effort on manufacturing.

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

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

To make such a device is a great option when you need to get rid of interfering wires, and also if you have damaged the corresponding connector and the headphones can’t work in the standard way. However, there is a homemade accessory and 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 attach 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 a great way to replace 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 in a specialized store. We offer an upgrade option for older wired versions. Such devices may differ from modern models in appearance and quality.

Another way to make DIY wireless headphones

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

• a Bluetooth system that has failed 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 wireless headset based on this single system. The manufacturing process is somewhat more complicated and consists of the following items:

• open Bluetooth and take out the board responsible for signal transmission and connection;
• carefully, trying not to hurt 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;
• with the correct connection and soldering, the work will be carried out without problems - you will get a great 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. It is only possible to install the system 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 an input for charging on the outside of the equipment.
