Finding the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the latest mobile phones is quite difficult. Many smartphones have ditched the audio jack. This is where wireless headphones come in. Since they don’t have wires, they are quite convenient, portable, and easy to use. However, these wireless or Bluetooth headphones cost a lot. So if budget is an issue for you, I will exactly show you how you can now turn wired headphones to wireless with just a few simple steps.

Things You Will Need

First, you will require wired headphones and a Bluetooth device that works both as a receiver and transmitter. Don’t know which transmitter to choose? Get the TaoTronics 5.0 transmitter and receiver which allows you both plug in the transmitter into the headphone as well as plug the headphone into the transmitter(i.e if your phone does not allow you to remove the cable).

How To Make Wired Headphones Wireless

According to a survey conducted in 2021, Apple, Beats by Dre, Bose, Samsung, and JBL are the top 5 most used headphones brands. There are many ways you can turn any wired headphone into a wireless headphone – using a Bluetooth headphone adapter or Bluetooth transmitter. Keep your existing headphones and avoid spending the extra price of purchasing a new pair of good headphones.

You don’t have to sacrifice the audio quality or your budget!

Using Bluetooth Audio Receivers

The process of converting your headphones wireless is simple. You will need a Bluetooth audio receiver. Bluetooth receivers can easily convert your wired earphones/headphones into wireless earphones/headphones. The same goes for your speaker.

Read the instruction manual carefully so that you get an idea of how to use your transmitter. Listed below are steps you should follow to turn your wired headsets into wireless ones:

  • Connect the headphones to the transmitter.
  • Check to see if the Bluetooth transmitter is on.
  • To pair your headphones with a device, access the Bluetooth menu on your device.
  • Your headphones should be plugged into the transmitter.
  • Ensure that the Bluetooth transmitter is on.
  • Open the Bluetooth menu on your device you would want to pair your Bluetooth receiver.
  • The Bluetooth options will appear; choose the Bluetooth transmitter. The name will differ depending on your receiver.

This is the fundamental method to use any pair of wired headphones with any Bluetooth-enabled device you own. As I already mentioned, the TaoTronics 5.0 will work the best for you in order to change your headphones from wired to wireless headphones.

Using Bluetooth Headphone Adapters

Bluetooth Adapter can also act as a Bluetooth receiver. It picks up a Bluetooth signal and sends it to your headphones.

Depending on the adapter you’re using and the devices you’re trying to connect, the process will vary. Follow these simple instructions to acquire good sound quality:

  • Connect the headphones to the Bluetooth adapter.
  • Switch on the adapter.
  • To pair the headphones, open the Bluetooth menu on your smartphone.
  • Select the Bluetooth adapter option.
  • Make sure the devices have been successfully paired.

I would suggest using the ML100 Bluetooth headphone adapter. This is because it provides great audio quality, a stable wireless connection, good battery life, and has no serious drawbacks. It is the best Bluetooth headphone adapter and is quite affordable and simple to use.

With a market share of 49.2%, online shopping was the most popular way to purchase Bluetooth headphones in 2018.

Making Wired Headphones Wireless DIY

You will require the following tools:

  • Wired headphone
  • Pair of scissors
  • Tape
  • Bluetooth Connector and
  • An external battery

Below is the step-by-step procedure on how you should carry out the process via DIY:

  1. Take your Bluetooth connector and insert it into the external battery first. Once it is connected in, you should switch it on to check whether the signal (the light) shows that it is functioning or not. It should function, but if it doesn’t, check your battery; it might be dead.
  2. Your Bluetooth connector’s open jack is where you should place your wired headphones.
  3. Wrap the Bluetooth and batteries that are linked to your wired headphones as well. To prevent anything from flying off or wandering off, tape everything together after it has been wrapped.
  4. Next, access the Settings on your mobile device.
  5. After selecting the Bluetooth option, turn it on and click on the Bluetooth name.
  6. After a few minutes, you will see a headset icon. This indicates that the connection was successful.

Benefits Of Wireless Headphones

Now that you know how you can turn your headphones from wired to wireless via Bluetooth connection and DIY, it’s time to know about its benefits!

Here are some advantages of using wireless headphones:

#1. Simple To Use

True wireless earbuds have many advantages over conventional earphones, chief among them being their ease of usage for a variety of activities. The freedom that truly wireless earbuds and they’re revolutionary, small, compact, flexible, and easy-to-transport design allow people is the one highly valued feature that drives everything.

#2. No Cables

Wireless headphones are wireless, which means they don’t require a connection because they connect to a source by a USB Bluetooth dongle or a wireless 2.4 GHz radio signal, allowing you to listen to music or make calls while moving around any place.

#3. Portable

Another advantage that wireless headsets have is their portability. Since there are no tangled wires to deal with, wireless headphones are simpler to carry. Additionally, most wireless headphones are collapsible, which increases their mobility. They take up so little room that you can put them almost anyplace.

#4. Sound Quality

Did you know that audio quality matters the most to people in the US when selecting headphones? According to Statista, 75% of respondents claimed that sound quality is their top priority when buying headphones. This is of course followed by comfort, price, durability, and weight. Wireless headphones provide the best audio quality and are flexible.

How To Connect Wired And Wireless Headphones At The Same Time?

To connect wired as well as wireless headphones simultaneously on one phone, go through the following steps:

For Android Users

Go to Bluetooth Settings and pair each Bluetooth speaker or set of headphones individually.

After connecting, click on Advanced Settings by tapping the three-dot icon on the right. If the “dual audio” option is not already selected, switch it on. Users should be able to connect to two devices at once.

Users with Android versions 10 and higher can access their paired Bluetooth devices by clicking on Media in the Quick Panel and choosing both of them for audio output.

For iOS Users

Users of iPhones must access Control Center. To output audio simultaneously, tap the Airplay icon and choose either the connected wireless headphones or speakers. The sharing of audio on that specific device will end if you deselect any of the headphones or speakers.

FAQ: Wired to Wireless headphones

You should now be able to use a high-quality wireless headset without the headphone jack.
