Bluetooth Earrings Pump Out The Tunes
When you think of a Bluetooth speaker, you’re probably picturing a roughly lunchbox-sized device that pumps out some decent volume for annoying fellow beachgoers, hikers, or public transport users. [Matt Frequencies] has developed something in an altogether different form factor—tiny Bluetooth speakers you can dangle from your earlobes! They’re called Earrays, and they’re awesome.
The build started with [Matt] harvesting circuit boards from a pair of off-the-shelf Bluetooth earbuds. These are tiny, and perfect for picking up a digital audio stream from a smartphone or other device, but they don’t have the grunt to drive powerful speakers. Thus, [Matt] hooked them up to a small Adafruit PAM8302A amplifier board, enabling them to drive some larger speaker drivers that you can actually hear from a distance. These were then installed in little 3D printed housings that are like a tiny version of the speaker arrays you might see hanging from the rigging at a major dance festival. Throw on a little earring hook, and you’ve got a pair of wearable Bluetooth speakers that are both functional, fashionable, and very audible!
[Matt] has continued to develop the project, even designing a matching pendant and a charging base to make them practical to use beyond a proof-of concept. Despite the weight of the included electronics, they’re perfectly wearable, as demonstrated by [DJ Kaizo Trap] modelling the hardware in the images seen here.
We’ve seen plenty of great LED earrings over the years, but very few jewelry projects in the audio space thus far. Perhaps that will change in future—if you pursue such goals, let us know!

Dopo il Venezuela pensava si fare la stessa cosa con l'Iran, credeva di mettere le mani nella marmellata ma si é accorto che non era marmellata ma me**a e ora pretente l'aiuto di quelli che ha sempre mazziato, peraltro minacciando chi non va ad aiutarlo.

@ipd @jalefkowit yeah the street flooded and then half-froze and it's snowing again

@aeva @jalefkowit in a residential wood timbered thing, i think the recommendation is under your kitchen table if it is strong. whatever gets you away from glass is usually good too. your house getting picked up and whisked away isn’t really what you are trying to protect from, its cuts and bumps from flying debris

Have you looked out the window today?

@aeva I am super out of practice with this but having lived in a mobile home in North Dakota for a while as a kid- during watch you need to check if the local shelter is open (in our case the trailer park manager's basement), crack open the windows and unplug unneeded electrical appliances and at warning if you could, go to the shelter, if not, sit in the bathtub. I have no idea these days if most of that was actually useful information.
@jalefkowit good luck, that is no fun at all!

Cosa può offrire l'Europa agli USA, se non obbedienza?
Cosa ha da offrire l'Europa all'Iran se non obbedienza agli USA e la propria irrilevanza?
Così mi chiedo quali possibilità ha l'Europa di intervenire con la diplomazia, se non ha niente da offrire
