How to Convert any SPEAKER into BLUETOOTH SPEAKER for $5 

I carefully watched all the steps and ordered a Bluetooth speaker 😂

I will probably never do this, but impressed by the lack of fear in taking apart gadgets. Subscribed.

While this video was playing I drove to the store and bought a bluetooth speaker and drove home.

“How to convert a regular speaker into a Bluetooth speaker for $5 and an afternoon”

You can buy a BT speaker for $ 5 😁

The day the bluetooth goes out you wish you had the aux cord

pero, me sale más barato comprar unas bocina BLUETOOTH ...

Very good. Just a small hint, you might want to keep your soldering tip cleaner. Less chance it will pollute the solder joint.

What is genius

Que lindo video, si quieren que tenga mas señal a mas lejos nomas soldamos un cablecito a la zigzag de estaño en el circuito del Bluetooth i su terminal una antena de radio u enredadera de cobre :)

you could have just put the reciever on the jack...

That's beautiful Good job my friend Ali young

Why you used a phone charger if you have a nice power transformer in your speakers xd?

Or you can just buy blue tooth speakers for $10.

Good work. Just came across this researching on a project. You made it look so simple and easy. Weldon.

Engineering student showing off. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

"Or you just buy a bluetooth speaker..." "Impractical..." "The hassle..." "Not good speaker..." These are the negative comments. May say: Only real men can make old audio speakers work with new tecknology.

I can't believe that I can do it

You could connect the jack directly in the audio input of the bluetooth reciver so that you can connect it to your desktop too or any other device which don't have bluetooth

Oof, too complicated for me, looks like procedures to defuse a time bomb.

There is the lazy/simple way AND the smart/professional way. He did the smart/professional way.

Chale es como ir ala escuela y ver aún pendejo desarmar y agregar cosas sin que te explique qué madres hace

U could just buy a bluetooth receiver and connect as is to theese speakers

If I have a USB bluetooth dongle, can I use this as a diy bluetooth speaker?

Why you are using another switch? There is already a power switch inside. Why you use 3.5mm connector? You can just solder the wires directly to the PCB.

Good skill, but this is like building a power bank, using an 8 cell battery holder wired to a cigarette lighter USB charger, installed in a soap case, when cheap decent power banks already exist (I actually did this just before power banks were a thing). Just plug a $10 MP3-player-sized Bluetooth headphone adaptor into your speakers, without taking apart anything. Save the MacGyver effort for something else where you actually have no better choice.

Well, that was clear as mud. I have no idea what you did,. Could you not invest in a microphone so that you could explain what's going on. For example, what were you doing with that USB thumb drive and what polarity did you connect the power to it?

Yo le hubiera dejado el jack de 3.5 . Sobretodo porque instaló ese switch para habilitar el Bluetooth. Y si queres conectar por 3.5 .. tambien se podria hacer.

Oh wow super simple

Muy Habil....si señor

3:18 power suply Directly to speaker board? It will not destroy the speaker board?

Wow

Always loved old school speakers

Ok about 2 minutes into this video I realized not me. I ain't doing all that sh..t 😂

“Turn your ordinary speakers into Bluetooth speakers for $5 + 2 years of schooling at a mechanical engineer institute”

This is so simple. Me and my MENSA buddies were laughing at how simple this is.

Good job ! I already done that. I took the BT module from a cheap bluetooth speaker. I kept the USB stick connection and the SD card connection.

Great vid, now I just got to figure out how to Carry the wall electrical outlet with me when I'm on the go :(

please make a video converting headphone to bluetooth headphone

It's only worth it IF ITS A BLUETOOTH LOSSLESS CODEC! better stick with auxiliary since it's supposed to play the music without encoding

FFS just buy a Bluetooth speaker

Falto explicar la parte técnica en general. Por lo menos se pudo demostrar que si se puede...!

Very cool

Well you could have just bought another Bluetooth speaker with that 5$

Lo sorprendente hubiese sido que conectaras un condenso para agudos a ese parlante que trae y en paralelo antes del condensa otro cable para otro parlante mas grande en una caja de madera en ambos canales y hay si que te aplaudo .

My Lifehack INSERT Bluetooth Headphones In Speaker

Зачем два блока питания? Лошара.

Oh yeah. Real useful - if you already have an electrical systems background.

Then also for me this is wonderfull

It would take me 10 years to do that

No on - off button. This ist stupid. Ohne button vor all. You. 1 Power on. 2 Bluetooth on. Beautiful Power on and Bluetooth on automatic.

Also you can use the famous regulator 7805 instead of old charger in order to supply the bluetooth device from the main Ac transformer of speaker. 7805 very tiny item and perfectly give 5 volts with zero noise especially with two filters stages.

It's like a part time job. I'd rather just buy Bluetooth Speakers. But you did do a good job making it work. Just a person would have to be good at wiring and soldering wires to circuit boards. And I don't think a lot of people can do this.

All this great long hard work would have been great on GREAT speakers...sheesh

if you're not an electronics enthusiasts/hobbyist and have no sense of fun and adventure on experiments and tinkering , these type of projects are not for you...

Just plug it in the jack, then its not permanently fixed so you can move it to other devices for use also.

How did I get here? What a way to get sidetracked, this is what I get for clicking on thumbnails with booty cheeks hanging out.

Google saw this video and said “we need to do something”

If you're going to go to all this measured effort to achieve this cool MacGyver type mod, then Make sure you're picking a high quality speaker like a higher-end Sony, bose, yamaha or whatever so you get the best sound quality.

Thanks bra I already bought the Sony MGONGO and JVC tall boys home theatre my living room now has 13 speakers with 3 subs and am enjoying making the neighbours complain

Crap throwers below don't grok that there are project junkies out there. Everyone is a junkie about something. Collectors, model builders, news junkies, youtube junkies....

That is some amazing technology how did you learn you go to college for this?

oh joy another mute...with DUMB music...

condolence for those speakers broken in trying to do this

не советую эту парашу . купите голую плату

I was using a Bluetooth modified speaker while watching this video XD

Let me destroy my speker hope it goes well

Next video: how my house caught on fire

Where would I go to have someone do this? I wouldn’t mind paying like 20 bucks

Why don't use a DC DC converter to use original DC out coming to the speaker board, and convert it to 5 V?

The people who camed just because their phone does not have a headphone jack

Put a pair of 12 inch bass subwoofers on a little red wagon with a few 6 inch tweeters, use a car battery, and viola. You'd have the dopest Bluetooth stereo on the block.

Some people watching this to me not know what you're doing could be best if you we're saying what you were doing and the music was completely annoying

Gracias por la aportación, excelente, felicidades!!!

Buen video no entendí ni una wea Pero weno weno el video jajaja

You can just buy a Bluetooth receiver for your phone and can be connected to any speakers. I have one for my ceiling speakers for my front porch and works great.

Why does everybody keep using that same shitty music to test out speakers!?!? And don't give me that bull shit about copyright. There must of been other music to choose from!!

Lol. You could actually buy a mini rechargeable bluetooth receiver/transmitter with audio out and simply connect the pc speaker cables to it. It also cost around $5 in Amazon. Less hassle to construct.

Me parece un proyecto excelente para renovar esos buenos parlantes de PC viejos. Un gran saludo.

HEADLINE NEXT VIDEO How I got Tetanus from rusty scissors.

Nice man, But I advise you to please do not set any background music in these kinds of videos cause they really make confusion to understand.

I am first 👍👌

Plot Twist - We can buy a Bluetooth speaker in 5 dollar 😅

Ok.. Wtf just happened?? Rewind! Bout 20 to 74 times...

too many problems, if you already have the bluetooth dongle with connection 3.5 just connect it to a cube cell phone charger and the input of the speakers to the dongle and ready is done without having to do so many problems

Good job bro👏👍

Why you have given an extra power switch. There is no wire input left, so what will i do by switching off the bluetooth only.

After reading all of the negative comments here I am to clarify what's he actually doing in this video.. 1. He has old wired standard 3.5mm jack speaker laying around his house... 2. So he bought the Bluetooth receiver to turn his old wired speaker into Bluetooth enabled speaker... 3. But unfortunately his old wired speaker also didn't have USB port to powered the Bluetooth receiver... 4. At the same time he has old 5v mobile charger (which is still in good condition and no mobile is using that charger anyway) laying around his house so he decided to use the mobile charger as a power supply for the Bluetooth receiver.. 5. Voila. He's complete connecting all the wire in correct position and now he's have turn his (Non Bluetooth) old wired speaker into a Bluetooth speaker. The conclusion is he doing this method because this way we don't need to carry extra wire and hanging wire around for the audio jack and USB Bluetooth receiver and that's why he connecting the mobile charger board to the power supply and to the USB Bluetooth receiver because without that the Bluetooth receiver will surely fried like fried chicken. Also please don't compare it to these modern day speaker that have all the port around it. Thanks for reading Well this is one of the good diy video also I like this kind of video that teach people how to diy. Peace. Keep on diy everyday.

Bạn là người Việt Nam phai ko

👍👍👍

Oh yeah all of us have soldering irons and electrical experience,oh yeah and the patience.

Clicked on interesting video As soon as I saw him unscrewing the speaker open,I knew I was done

Wonderful ❣️❣️❣️

Hey man, this is great to look at. I have seen two videos so far and like both! Keep it up and I really hope you get to 100K soon!

we are the manufacturer of Bluetooth speaker in China, our speaker is also super!

Un auténtico artista , enhorabuena amigo . Espero que nos ilustres con tus genialidades más a menudo.Gracias y continúa así .

*Nice job but now we have receivers which can be put on audio output jack and they are also very cheap in price*

Instead of the side switch you should of used a relay to work from the front on switch

Amazing. I wish I could do this. Love the soldering part. Actually all of the parts. Yes there are other short cuts to take in accomplishing the same but it is after all “about the journey”. Good Job ! 👍🏼
