[QUOTE="OldDogNewTrick, post: 366620, member: 3148"] Today I converted my wired Headphones on my ATX to Bluetooth Wireless....I like headset audio but dislike full blown headphones in the summer heat and plus the wires get in the way There are lots of ways to do this and I'm not saying this is the best....for about $75 using Jaycar parts and a soldering iron it is easy. The pic shows the jaycar product boxes and the finished result. The battery life on these parts is supposed to be min 2hrs in full use. Recharging is shorter and fits in with how I carry USB/recharging stuff in the bush anyway. Switched it on, paired the Bluetooth and it works fine. I checked the Transmitter (black box) does not interfere with the ATX before I cut the headphone cable. The Bluetooth Transmitter is temporarily attached with double sided tape until I am happy with a permanent location, then might use Velcro, we'll see. Finally, I attached a 3.5mm male connector to the now cut Headphone wire. Using a 'back to back' female to female 3.5mm connector I can now remove the Transmitter if required and revert to the Headphones using the back to back adaptor to bypass the Transmitter (adaptor/Headphones not shown in pic).
