Convert EarPods to In-Ear Headphones With Remote and Mic for IPhone

You need:

• Apple EarPods.
• Headphones In-Ear that you prefer.

• Soldering iron.
• Glue.

P.S. sorry for my bad English. I'm studying it

I used a EarPods Chinese clone (because I only need the control chip) bought from ebay ($3) and a Panasonic ErgoFit In-Ear Earbud Headphones HJT125 from amazon ($9.99) (You can change it for that you prefer).

You just need to apply some pressure to remove the cover.

if necessary, use tweezers to apply a slight squeeze.

Same previous step.

Check and remember the polarity of headphone before desolder.

The cable copper color is ground (-) and otter colors are L R signals (+).

Desolder without put long time the soldering iron, excessive heat could damage copper.

After desolder remove knots and pull cable.

Take the in-ear headphones and reassemble it with the EarPods cable.

Remake the knots and add some glue to close the headphones.

Final specifications:

• Driver Unit (mm) φ9
• Sensitivity (dB/mW) 97
• Impedance (Ω)/1kHz 16
