DIY Bluetooth Speakers

So, here's the plan:

  1. Take 2 speakers, gut them and locate the + - sound input that would typically come from the computer

  2. Take an old bluetooth headset (a cheap one of course) and take it apart. Find the + and - connection going from the bluetooth communication device to the headphone part which goes in your ear.

  3. Basically attach the two, perhaps with an amp in between. Run the speakers on batteries.

  4. (A bluetooth adapter (7 dollars small version and super mini version. )combined with BlueSoliel allows you to use the bluetooth headset as a speaker for your pc)

So, my question is: Does this sound feasible? Would I need to amp up the sound produced by the bluetooth device?

Thanks!

anyone have some ideas?

A few of things:

  1. I'd've thought most cheap BT headsets are mono, so no point in having two speakers.
  2. Yes, you'll need an amplifier.
  3. Not sure, but BT headsets probably have some sort of sidetone mixing, so you'd need to rip the mic off the board to avoid feedback.

you should something that supports A2DP profile otherwise you'll get 8kHz, 8-bit mono audio output...Anyway I suspect there's some out of the box solution from Creative or Logitech, have a look
