DIY Open Source Bluetooth Headphones -- Episode 586

Dodgy apps, subscription fees, and exclusive phone apps for a pair of headphones? Clem says: no thanks! He's fed up with the shenanigans some manufacturers pull for simple products that should just work. And why change to a different model of headphones when you've found the perfect wired pair? Can't you have that same fit and style, but wireless? So, for this project, Clem sets out to add Bluetooth to some of his favorite wired AKG headphones, using a DFRobot FireBeetle and an I2S audio module. But, to be a true open-source alternative, Clem has to whip up a custom PCB, which doesn't go according to plan. Learn the pitfalls of overly similar part numbers by following his process of figuring out the problem! What Device should have an open source variant in your opinion and would you build it yourself?

    it would be great to implement the new codec, but with open source spirit comes accessability of alteration, and therefore first a long time maintained (preferably arduino-) lib for those modules should be done first, and I'm not capable of doing that.
    but yeah if that would be done, than having a version with LC3 and nRF5340 is a cool roadmap goal.
