This project is a tip to upgrade apple in-ear headphones. this is simple. He cut out the center of earplugs. then, replace the soft surrounds on the in-ear headphones with them. It's very simple and effective.

이건 간단한 팁에 가까운 Hacks다. 애플 이어폰을 간단하게 개조를 해서 성능향상을 꾀했다. 이어폰을 사용해서 음악을 들으때, 보통 보면 이어폰이 귀에 딱 맞지 않아서 소리가 밖으로 새기 마련이다. 그걸 스폰지를 이용해서 막는 다는 이야기. 스폰지에 작은 구멍을 뚫어 이어폰에 씌운다. 이게 이 아이디어의 전부. 이럴경우의 장점은 귀에 딱 맞게 되어서, 음이 셀염려는 없을 듯하다.

The project:
This is probably one of the easiest and cheapest mods I’ve ever done. The idea is from Kristian Engelbrecht - a Chaosprojects.com member - who passed it on to me. When he told me about it, I knew right away I had to do it and pass it on.

Oh god oh god oh why:
I believe that if you can upgrade an everyday item for only a few bucks and a few minutes, you owe it to yourself to jump at it.
This one truly fits that description. It will make your Apple In-Ear headphones fit much better in your ears, exclude the surrounding noise way more, and you probably won’t ever experience the headphones falling out of your ears even when doing sports…

Conceiving the project:

This is how you do it: First of all, you’ll need three things: Your Apple In-Ear Headphones, those foam ear plugs they hand out at concerts, and a Leather Punch (see image above)

Part one:

Remove the rubber cups from the headphones.
Grab one of the foam ear-plugs and pinch it flat as shown below…


Take the leather punch, set it to make a 4mm hole in the center of the foam ear-plug, as below

Part two:

Take the foam ear-plug, still pinched together, and push the Apple In-Ear Headphone through the hole in the foam ear-plug… as shown below

That’s it. Give the foam 5min to reach its original form and they are ready to use… Mold the foam to go in your ears and enjoy.

Materials/Price tag:
Well… this is probably the shortest ‘material list’ I ever put on this website with only the foam ear-plugs at about 2.5$ for a six pack - aprox. 80 cents a pair.

I hope you’ll enjoy your improved headphones and send Kristian a kind thought for sharing this idea. Should you have a good idea for a project you would like to see on this site, you can let me know here .
