Hello all! Hopefully this hasn't already been posted about, I couldn't find anything using the search.
I recently acquired a pair of OneAudio Studio Wireless M headphones by accident. I got them as an open box for super cheap and didn't realize they were a bluetooth model with no input jack. They were so cheap it wasn't worth shipping them back, and they actually sound decent enough for the price. I figured theyre good for when I'm doing homework and I don't have to worry about breaking them if I toss them in my backpack for school.
That being said, I'd like to add a wired option to them so I can use them if the battery is dead. I've never dealt with bluetooth so I was wondering if you could provide some help. I'm assuming the receiver must have output wires to the drivers that I could solder the jack to. What I'm not sure of is if I need to add some sort of switch to change the source, or if just having the headphones shut off when I plug them in would be sufficient.
I think this should be pretty simple to do, I'm just still learning about how electronics work so I thought I'd ask the pro's. I figure its also a good pair of headphones to play with since they were super cheap and if I mess something up I won't be out much. Thanks in advance!

Yes you'll need to switch the drivers or you'll risk frying the electronics. A DPDT miniature switch of quality (gold plated contacts if possible), for reliable operation. Some jacks have switches built in which would be perfect.
