@@Vincent-vu5vr I want to get into the battery wires to hijack the power to connect a bluetooth board so the headphone plug goes into the board and the whole lot will be bluetoothed and self powered. The board is only about $5. Sure the pack will be larger but all wireless. If i will make a video on it.
How did it go? I have the same problem and looking for the connection schematics for the cable connection inside the battery unit. Great video so far I am waiting for part 2
I ended up throwing them away :/ one of the ear pieces was damaged. the wires are also extremely difficult to solder since they are so small. I hope your repair goes well!
@@tiesto213 A total of 16 leads are on the output-side of the controller. In this reddit post you can see them good: www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/5ej8md/repair_of_bose_quiet_comfort_20_jack/ This Imgur post shows pretty much all the internals of the headphones: imgur.com/gallery/OGKO0
I have the same pair with the same cord damage. I think the problem is that the cord is too thick for the little storage baggie. I just used a ton of liquid rubber and it’s all good. Now my problem is a right side headphone sounds to weak compared to the right. It’s a bummer because I purchased these when they came out and the sounded great but the design was flawed.
You surely had to cut the rubber outer all along , right? Try using a dab of car petrol to soak into gaps where glue or even plastic welds can be weakened.
@@LightningSharkProductions hey man how do you get the flat head in between the 2 parts im trying to replace the dam battery the died on me after using it while charging with a power bank
@@MrPirateking619 yeah i found that the metal parts need to come off to get a flat head in between them, but be careful don't use a lot of force i punctured the battery and also cut my hand pretty badly man be careful don't use a lot of force, i did rip the battery out before i burnt my headphones so all is good they work now thank god!
@@flagmaster6493 which metal parts are u talking about? And also which battery did u use i read if u change the battery it will work once den u cant charge the battery again
That has been quite helpful, I am trying to convert these to wireless headphones
I was thinking the same thing as the new phones have no built in headphone jacks .
@@Dentinvent I have decided against it for now, since I still have devices with a headphone jack, but it's definitely an option for the future!

It would be great to see a teardown of the Bose A20 noise cancelling aviation headsets to see how they work and are assembled.
This has to be the cleanest opening of the noice cancelling unit other people are just butchering that thing with cutter knives
Thank you! I learned from some of those videos on how to nicely open it up, hope it helped :)

Lightning Shark Productions how many leads did you count? 4? Or is it a lot more weird connections from the amp to the controller?

can I use a heat gun?
you shouldn't need to! you can just pull it apart

no glue on the sides, just clips. only glue is found under the metal parts on the sides. you can hear on the video the tabs clicking
