Instructions
Step 1
First, examine your accessory. It is worth noting that it is not advisable to try to improve cheap disposable earbuds. This is a waste of time and effort. On-ear headphones are best suited for upgrades. They are good in every way. You should not start making any changes immediately after purchase. Walk around with headphones for a while. Read reviews on the forums about the model you own. Try to find any weak points so you know what needs to be worked on.
Step 2
Usually one of the weakest points of almost any headphone is the wire at the plug itself. In this place, an internal break occurs most often. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the wire is constantly in a bent position. This can be fixed with a simple and straightforward improvement. Take a plastic tube with a diameter slightly larger than the plug cover. Measure the required length and saw off the piece. It must be put on the casing so that most of it protrudes from the side where the wire enters the plug. This will prevent the cord from bending at the joint and will extend the life of the cord.
Step 3
Many headphones have a problem with the soldering quality. After a short operation, the wires are unsoldered at the point of connection to the speaker. This can be corrected by re-soldering. To do this, carefully disassemble the headphone case and examine the soldering point. If it is very sloppy soldered, the end of the wire sticks out in the air, then you need to carefully re-solder so that the bare wire is completely hidden by the junction.
Step 4
Also, the disease of most headphones is a poor-quality case coating. The paint can quickly wear off or peel off. As a result, the headphones lose their attractive appearance. Cover your headphones with the film of your favorite color. To do this, first thoroughly clean the surface of the case. Degrease it. After that, remove the protective layer from the film and carefully stick it on the body so that there are no bubbles. Also, such a film plays a protective role. It prevents scratches. If desired, such a film can be easily removed or replaced with a new one.
Step 5
You can tune the sound quality. If there is free space in the sound cups, then additional small speakers can be introduced that will add high or low frequencies. Do you wear headphones very often at night? Install a few small diodes on them and you will be visible even in the dark. If you solder the diode through the audio wire, you can get light and music, that is, the light will flash in time with the music you listen to.
