    As for your rant about why not buying something that allready exists:
    The batteries in my bluetooth earbuds are starting to crap out.
    not too long until I have to replace my otherwise perfectly fine earbuds because of dead batteries, that aren't replacable.
    So therefore havin the actual headphones and the bluetooth-module separate - hopefully - mitigates that issue,
    which is exactly why I came here :)

      100%, replaceable batteries are a lost relic of yesteryear. Same with headphone jacks, SD card slots, CPU sockets on laptops, and others. It's always best to have separate components that can be replaced independently. That model is not profit friendly though, as companies make more money if you just throw away something and buy another than if you repair something and use it for longer.

      Not sure as I've only used it to listen to music, it should be comparable to 5.0 BT specs though, which many devices use for communication without problems. There are many different types of this board out there, some may be better for that than others.

    I have a little Taotronics Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver thats basically like the device you showed at the beginning, I bought it because I wanted bluetooth but none of the bluetooth earbuds are of the style of earbuds that I can comfortably wear (in-ears hurt to wear for more then a few minutes) other then paying stupid money for Apples Airbuds, plus I can use cheap $20 earbuds with it.

      @hightech-lowlife earbuds are easier to fall asleep wearing than over ear or on ear headphones and I like how compact and portable earbuds are my favorites where the Seinhieser MX365 but they've been discontinued, I had to settle for the apple earbuds as every other earbuds I tried sounded like crap now. I have a set of HD598's and a Fiio Alpen 2 DAC/AMP for proper listening sessions, been thinking about getting a Fiio BTR5 or BTR7 as an upgrade to the Taotronics Bluetooth unit.

    Hey if that little bluetooth board can do aptx. I wonder if I can attach it to this old amp I got. I literally just tested it out after cleaning it up with a leaf blower and a bunch of rubbing alcohol with detail work. Its a Marantz 1060B with funny enough..speaker wires sticking out still. Its a very heavy bass amp yet I love it's soundstage. And since I only use headphones, iems, and wireless earbuds, I would definitely use this.

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  2 роки тому +1

      I'm not sure if it can, but since it's not advertised I would say no for APTX. Although there may be some boards that can do that, but most likely will be more expensive 👍Thanks!

    • @grizzlyindustries7593
      @grizzlyindustries7593 2 роки тому

      @@hightech-lowlife Actually found something right now. This Swiitech TR-01 on Amazon states this bluetooth transmitter has aptx. Reviews say whole day uses. Plus two devices at once either transmitting or receiving. Nice. Still gonna keep looking, but found something for around $20 that can not only be used for one but many other use cases.
      Also, you reply fast! I was searching bluetooth transmitters for amps here on UA-cam while using the old amp. Went to bed. Woke up and found you and your channel in the recommendations. I really like the bluetooth keyboard video! That's so dope! Especially all the testing to see what works well enough. I myself one day would definitely try out something similar to your detachable cable mod on some older keyboards and maybe some mice to usb c. I'm talking PS/2 connectors here! It's just that the older keyboard has media controls on it and I got it at a thrift store for $2. Used it for years until I got better income(not great income, but better than nothing) and got a Corsair K60. So changing the connector to usb c by using this spare usb c cable lying around would be awesome. And if I'm brave enough, I could try the soldering a female usb c connector. If it doesn't work, then I've still got two cheap keyboards and two mice to sacrifice.
      Thanks for the inspiration! I never do soldering too much. I just use an old woodburner tool that I've had for a decade and a half put wires together or apart with different tips. But thats only been for electrical outlets with bigger cables. Might try it out on cheaper stuff like this to see if it works.
      P.S. If you've got $15 to $25 to burn and you ever wanted to try out some bluetooth earbuds. I would recommend the Tozo A1(very small and good to sleep with), Tozo T10(great bass and my favorites), or Tozo T6(uses micro usb but has a better mid sound) Great to try out and comes with good eartips. Only thing is quality control. They are the same chipset as the Edifiers which I used the TWS Pro 1(same exact thing as the Tozo T10)just Edifiers has better quality control or essentially it won't be a lottery to find out if one breaks. I've hadn't had issues with Tozo, but it does exist. Yet for this cheap, it was great holiday gifts for everyone and no issues. Just a quick thing to share.
      Hope you have an awesome day!

      @@grizzlyindustries7593 Awesome, I'm glad you found something that might fit the bill. Thanks for the recommendations! I will try out those earbuds for sure, I usually like over the ear headphones because all the buds I have tried are uncomfortable for me, but I'd give it another shot.
      You can try the woodburner tool, but soldering irons are so cheap now that even the ones that are only a few bucks are decent enough to solder with 👍
      I actually have another video on my channel where I show how to take a wired keyboard and make it have a detachable type-c port, and it's pretty easy. I'm sure you could mod that other keyboard however you want, adding a port or even going wireless!
      I hope you do as well, take care man.

    DIY board was interesting
    I use *Sony SBH56* with Bose soundtrue earbuds
    (bicycle rides = during winter = forced switch to truly wireless to ensure wired earbuds for next 10+ years @ 5 each)
    Wireless earbuds downside is weather (can't use controls during winter, cold, or wet)
    _____
    (Discontinued, but still available) cleanest water-resistant setup I've used.
    *Sony* SBH56, sbh54, mw600 (but its too fragile)
    Battery lasts ≈ 5 hrs (device 2+ years daily use = before capacity is drained) these BT devices outlast cable deterioration
    _____
    quality wired earbuds are obsolete (discontinued = overpriced resale upwards of 5x retail) *a highly valued treasure today*
    Most Bluetooth headphones still have the input plug (cable bought aftermarket = reduce e-waste)
    I'm willing to pay more for wired headphones than flagship Bluetooth (voiced my opinion to everyone)

    LMAO to your disclaimer, yep... people are... well you already know lmao.
    awesome video, i was curious about doing something like this my self.
    my biggest question for this is, i personally want to do/try something like this with a true 7.1 headset that's USB-C(yes it has a bunch of driver's in the headset, asus rog theta 7.1 headset), but i've always been iffy with Bluetooth due to mainly it's bandwidth limitations and wasn't sure if it'd give the full audio output/quality/8 channels for it to work well with such a headset. i already know that the whole BT+Surround sound was always BS just from the it's limitations back in the day and there hasn't been a major improvement to any of that til version 5.1 i think it was but also some of that was codec specific for devices also. but i wasn't sure if you had tinkered with this at all.
    also, on that board with the better sound because of the amp, it probably really is the amp, i've tested many devices over 3.5mm, usb, wireless(dongle to dongle 2.4ghz) and BT and ALWAYS... BT was overall a lower volume output(about 80% of the volume or less) and couldn't drive things, i have thoughts on this, but maybe they're wrong but also never really looked into it as i don't use it often enough to care lol not to mention the amount of general issues i tend to experience with BT. for my phone i'd rather get a USB-C to 3.5mm jack over using BT unless for phone calls with ear buds lol but there is a convenience factor with the BT so it's why i tend to just use my earbuds more.
    but i guess a better way to put it. i'm aiming to make my 7.1 TRUE surround headset into a wireless one for gaming on my PC without ANY reduction on channels or quality.

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  11 днів тому +1

      Thanks man! As for multi-channel and sound quality, I suppose you'd have to do an A/B comparison and see how much you're giving up (if anything) and whether that is worth the convenience of wireless or not. I think for fidelity, a wired connection will always sound better, but it really depends on how good your ears are and how much you're willing to accept. 🍻🍻

      @@hightech-lowlife very true... after digging into audio stuff and talking with audio engineers and audio software makers over recent couple years, i've found out that majority for instance don't know how to use their ears for the surround sound to even be noticed, which is why the mass majority are seen as ignorant in that sense when it comes to stereo vs virtual surround sound vs true surround sound, much like audio now days is more of a "subjective" or "preference" instead of ANY kind of objective view except those few who are testing for the specific things. but yes, majority i would agree to your statement about "willing to accept" more than the rest lol.
      but overall, i was trying to dig into it, unless you do a setup that's similar to a USB headset, you need a dongle to dongle setup, but then another video i've seen with what i'm trying to do, apparently using a rasberrypi to do what i'm wanting... so apparently WAY more or harder for normal wireless/Non-bluetooth lol.

      Most people just listen to music through their phone speakers.
