Making Your Own Underwater Headphones

[adamBomb]

I made an adapter cable to work with my equinox using this extension cable and connector. The connector pins can be removed easily and the 3.5mm cable plug can be glued in without any soldering (drilling out the connector is required).

Scuba, these are super cheap headphones, but sense they insert right into your ear, they are quite loud with the equinox and in my limited testing the tones sound pretty good with them. You might consider trying them. If you use a hood, I'd think they would fit comfortably underneath.

Is that extension cable waterproof?

The connection to the equinox is and that's all I'm concerned about. I'm only hunting fresh water so corrosion of the other connector shouldn't be to much of an issue. Get a longer cable and keep the other end out of the water or wrap with some silicone tape if it is a concern.
