  • (Broken) headphones

We need the speakers.

  • Insulated earmuffs

It will be the new case for our headphones

  • Male and female 3,5 audio jack (optional)

From old headphones we can obtain:

  • The speakers

It are the most important part of the project. (I shape it for a better assembly)

  • Audio Wire.

If you can't optain it from the headphones (It could be broken) you can get it from other earphones, internet or your local hardware store.

I bought the insulated earmuffs months ago for studying, but if you don't have it in your house it are available in online shops, hunting stores...

Preparing the Earmuffs

Now we have to do three holes in the earmuffs: two for the wire and other for the female audio jack.

Then insert the female audio jack into his hole.

Conections

The circuit is so easy. Conect the wires following the pictures with the help of a welder and tin.

To do the external wire you can recycle te one of the headphones.

Final Asembly

Now set the speaker between the foam with a little of glue.

I recommend to use a cloth for better results.
