mic mod for bose qc35II

thingiverse

i recently bought a new headset (bose qc35II) because of the recent breaking of my previous (madcatz freq7). i was very happy about it except for one thing, when used only for listening the sound awesome but when used for both listening and speaking, the audio quality drops and a white noise appears, furthermore, my friends wy whom i speak on discord complained about the microphone quality lowered compared to the old one. so i decided to use the old mic of my broken headset. For that, i reused an old 3.5mm male jack cable and soldered it to a female 3.5mm jack so i could plug the mic to it. I then designed a part on fusion 360 that would snap to the new headphone, hold the jack adaptator in place and plug the mic as i used to. The drawback of this project is that it adds a cable to a bluetooth headset but you can easily take it off to use it on your phone or just wirelessly. Of course you could buy a mic that does what i did, but it wouldn't be as fun :P Please excuse the poor soldering quality and the zip tie, i did it a bit urgently :/ For those who are interrested, here is a link of a youtube video explaining how to increase audio quality of a bluetooth headset by disabling the microphone. I used this method and my mod, now my mic sounds better and the audio quality is always at its best. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yn-zF_dZY
