I’ve been using my running headphones with my newest phone for a while now. They are okay, but hurt my ears after a few hours. The most comfortable headphones I have are old Shure SRH440… which only have a wired connection.

I found a USB to 3.5mm audio adapter on AliExpress (apparently from BLUEKAKA):

I also needed a 3.5mm to 2.5mm audio cable, since the one from the headphones are a huge coiled affair designed to prevent kinks in the cable… great for recording in a studio but not very handy when walking the dog.

After hooking everything up it seems to work well. Yay!

Anyway, I was just carrying everything around loose until I realized that it was small enough to just strap onto the headphones. I used a hairband that my wife left lying around to attach the adapter.

It looks really janky, so I’ll probably 3D print a nicer looking setup eventually.

    I wouldnt want any audio going over Bluetooth. The one I bought was 2.4GHz for the low latency so I can game using jt. There is a sound floor, but that can be minimized by broadcasting with volume as close to clipping as possible, without clipping of course. Its not audiophile grade, but it still sounds really good. I can’t tell the difference in 95% of cases.
