@Llemarie,

Just the thing I was looking for.
Altough it turns out to be quite expensive, I might buy one of those (I didn’t expect it to have remote control for buttons, wich is a very nice feature).
Do you happen to know some other brands that make these things, so I can compare them to each other?

Thanks a lot

Hi Erik,

There are a number of options. Personally, I use and like the Jabra BT3030. It’s only real downside for me is the relatively short battery life (8h in use, but more importantly 10 days when not in use), which means I always have to charge it before use.

Hope this helps,
Lionel.

I’ve been looking all over the internet to find something similar.
Did anyone ever see a minijack to bluetooth connector?

@Angelisdarker,

It sounds like a good idea. It doesn’t solve the original problem that was that I dislike wires, but it does give you the freedom to choose which headphones you use and disconnects you from the media source. It would be much simpler to make too!

Regards,
Lionel.

I was curious of instead of making one pair mod a blue tooth pcb to fit inside an altoids can that you can then keep in your pocket and plug in any pair of headphones into for variety. so sports ones for on the treadmill or high quality for gin and juice with some blues and such… i like versatility … but hey just an idea

Hi Haydenbech,

It wouldn’t be too hard to make a ‘mic’ adaptor using the same principal:
- Open the Logitech headphones.
- Unsolder the wires on the drivers.
- Solder them to a stereo 3.5mm jack.
- Plug it in the mic input of your stereo.

Any chance of a tutorial showing how to do the same for a stereo?

You should be posting these things on Instructables
