Title: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: dingdong on November 10, 2015, 06:38:09 PM Just recently,i was fortunate enough to get hold of a really great set of cordless
Headphones (thanks again Chef),and they work really well,battery life is beyond my wildest expectations, clarity brilliant,delay virtually non existent, so,all in all a very HAPPY Chappie. BUT !! They ain't water proof,no,no,no,!!!! Now is there anyone out there who can give me any ideas(not to get a hood,please! ) as to how I can get these little gems waterproofed? Surely there must be someone out there who can come up with a workable solution......please Thanks for looking.👍 Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ??

Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: dingdong on November 10, 2015, 08:11:14 PM Hi Mike,its pretty obvious that they arnt waterproof,as the micro switches would allow water to ingress,if you saw them you would see what I mean,thanks for your comments !!👍
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: Mike on November 10, 2015, 08:13:42 PM felt and batten it is then :D :D
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: dingdong on November 10, 2015, 08:15:38 PM Hi JCB,many thanks for your reply,I am going into B&Q this week and look at the possible feasibility of fitting them into some "ear defenders"
Many thanks for that, much appreciated👍 Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: dingdong on November 10, 2015, 08:23:16 PM Hi, "Landyman" thanks for your input,cling film could well work,but it might be a problem when it gets wet, ie...sweat/condensation,or rain itself,might start to unwrap,I could give it a try,will let you know how I get on,many thanks.👍

Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: Jonnietaz on November 10, 2015, 09:30:21 PM Hi Chris, porn star condoms, I've got a few left over, one each end, and tape in the middle, sorry not been over, to busy on the film set.
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: raistlain on November 10, 2015, 09:33:48 PM you will find the ribbed condoms far superior as they stop the phones sliding off your head ;D
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: Jonnietaz on November 10, 2015, 09:34:37 PM You might look a bit of a dick in them though.
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: raistlain on November 10, 2015, 09:36:34 PM but these are one item I would recommend purchasing new....definatley stay away from used regardless of condition ;D

Oh I nearly forgot , I never had a problem with my TDK headphones in the rain, I covered the small transmitter with a small plastic bag. Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: Chainsaw Bampy on November 13, 2015, 01:28:52 PM try using silicon spray.
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: Da Monkey on November 13, 2015, 02:16:27 PM This stuff is pretty amazing, dries completely, no idea how it still works even though there doesnt appear to be any residue but it does...

Post by: Radnor Bandit (Ian) on November 13, 2015, 04:43:09 PM Just a suggestion, if you use cling film, to prevent condensation forming, try wrapping a couple of sachets of silca gel in with the phones (like the ones usually found in with new shoes) The sachets could then be dried out and used again.
Title: Re: Water proofing....any suggestions ?? Post by: dingdong on November 13, 2015, 05:53:15 PM Cheers Ian,at the moment I am considering the feasibility of fitting these little headphones into a set of ear defenders,it looks like it can be done but its going to be a bit tricky, if I can successfully do it I will post on DetectingWales
Anyway, many thanks for your input .👍 |
