Bluetooth for your Bose Headsets

I got my Bose Quiet Comfort headsets several years ago (I don't think the price has changed any since then either.  I've been extremely happy with them.  I love watching movies on my laptop or iPad - theater quality, actually better, sound.  If I need to unwind at the end of a tough day or week, I hook them to my iPhone and disappear into the music.

One of my favorite uses for them is when mowing the lawn.  The noise cancelling effect makes the mower engine disappear and they keep all the grass and dirt from getting into my ears.

My only complaint is the extremely long connection cord.  It hangs all over the place and several times has gotten hung on various parts of the lawn mower.

Recently Bose came out with a Bluetooth version for their new headsets.  The problem is they don't have any Bluetooth adapters for the older models.

In the video below I explain how I made my own Bluetooth adapter by purchasing an Aluratek iStream Bluetooth Adapter/Receiver.

The project itself was pretty easy.  The one thing you will have to be able to do is solder some connections.  But if you can handle that, you are on you way to wire free listening.

By the way, the Aluratek device picks up signal from about 30 feet away, so you can also plug it into other speaker systems with the 3.5 mm audio jacks.  And if your car doesn't have Bluetooth, but does have a Line-in/Aux jack, you can connect it there too.

Hope you find this helpful.
