Then placing the whole kit in one box for each headphone pair simplifies a bit and the 2 sets get you full stereo.<br><br>Personaly, I'd replace the batteries with a 3Volt power brick.  power isn't hard to find in range of a music source, espcialy since the base has to be plugged in too.  You could even make a 3V battery power pack for when you want to take the speakers outside or something.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chrwei]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 21st 2006 5:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[This seemed like a great idea to me until I thought that I could just get a headphone fm transmitter and a tranny with speakers.<br>Have I missed something?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marizu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 21st 2006 5:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[There are several things wrong with this project.<br><br>Not least of all is the premise of using headphone elements as speakers.<br>Swap the headphone elements out for a pair of proper speakers! <br><br>Simple (and I mean simple) repackaging does not a mod make.

Some folks just don't realize the effort involved in laying out a presentation that is easy to understand.  Even if you don't think it is useful to you, it could be to others.  My momma always told me "if you don't have something nice to say, then just don't say nothing at all"  While I wouldn't use this, the concept is definitely usable.  thanks again!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[reverend dane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2006 11:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great concept!!! As mentioned above it is a good idea that can also be tweaked.  Add a small amp circuit and larger speakers with some volume control, you have a fully functionaly MP3 player to take througout your house.  You could also make it have an output to a mic input of a stereo system and BAM a cheap Xmitter from your PC to a home stero.  Don't be negative be creative.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DurtySonchoz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2006 9:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great idea.

I have a pair of Jensen 900Mzh headphones that I took apart.  I'm putting the receiver unit in a external computer speaker.  That will give me more power and I don't have to build a case.  Its going in the kitchen so I the wife can hear the 56" TV with out the volume on high.  This works good for me because most of the ones you can buy are huge and black.  The external computer speaker is white like everything else in my kitchen.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Drew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2006 10:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your still a cock]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cockman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 8th 2008 10:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cockman...suck a donkey dick!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Indonesian Man]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 6:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a really cool little project.

Brilliant.  I needed a way to remove the wires from my Bose Lifestyle 30 rear speakers so I could position them around my couch without the wires getting in the way.  These speakers are mounted on thin poles with a weighted base.  For various reasons I am unable to run wires along the floor, ceiling, and walls of my new home. This project fits the bill nicely.  All I need is the RF or IR portions (depending on the brand headphone I choose), an IC power amp per speaker, and a rechargeable battery.  All components can fit in a box attached to the weighted base.  I'll then have two speakers that I can put anywhere in my living room within range of the TX without tripping on any wires.  I can even make the batteries removeable so I can plug them into a charging stand near my media console after each movie or day of listening to music.  Brilliant!<br><br>Thanks, Fabienne!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bruce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2009 8:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nice idea, I may employ it for an art project - how long do the batteries power the speakers if you run them continuously?<br><br>thanks,<br>Jess<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jessica]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2006 9:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wonderful project for a long weekend.I have one question.Can you suggest me What i should do to connect mulitiple speakers from ONE RF?is it possible ?<br><br>Suggest me a computer speaker model which can operate in the battery?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Ram<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ram]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2006 11:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How-To: Build Wireless Speakers from RF Headphones]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/21/how-to-build-wireless-speakers-from-rf-headphones/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's good idea for DIY but in my opinion, the sound quality maybe not good for us if do like that to change the wirelss headphones to wireless speakers.
