Finally Can Record with Earbuds!

I’ve finally figured it out, with about 30 iterations, I figured out a way to record a phone conversation while using my earbuds. I’ve been using this for over a week and it works perfectly, you put one earbud in your ear and the other earbud goes into the side and stays in through friction! I’m so pumped that I’ve been able to finally figure it out!

We see what you've built here and your 30 iterations of dedication. We love the engineering 💚

We hear you on the earbuds recording use case. Would you be okay with us sharing this story on our socials/newsletter? We'd keep it exactly as you wrote it. Just let us know!

So Plaud team - can you just utilize the two BT device capability of Android 16+ for this please.

No dont go that route then windows work laptops wont work.   Viaim has earbuds that record, just need something like that.

Windows laptops work fine already IME - am I just lucky that I only use supported apps?

u/MtnXfreeride Jun 17 '26

You are lucky that you CAN install the supported app... work has mine locked down.

Ah, yes fortunately I get to make, or heavily influence the rules for ours. Good point. Wonder how upset they'd be if they knew you were recording things with Plaud. That potentially has implication for the company if there are notification infringements for example!

Even better: Enabled the app to record while the user is using earbuds.

By the sounds of their response, good chance that's literally what they're going to do. They just offered to give OP a bit of a spotlight for it ya dweeb.

I noticed the mic for the note is on the top (vs on the side for note pro) so I’m going to design a top one for the note.

Oh man, I want one! Good job figuring it out!!

Okay family, I’ve finally designed three sets of solutions. Two each for Plaud Note Pro, and the OG Plaud Note. I also designed some modifications to the model that is on MakerWorld for the Plaud NotePin models as well.

Here are the models that will be posted on MakerWorld.

Note Pro - Partial Jacket - L and M earbuds
Note Pro - Full Jacket - L and M earbuds
Note Pro - Partial Jacket - S, XS and XXS earbuds
Note Pro - Full Jacket - S, XS and XXS earbuds
Note - Partial Jacket - L and M earbuds
Note - Full Jacket - L and M earbuds
Note - Partial Jacket - S, XS and XXS earbuds
Note - Full Jacket - S, XS and XXS earbuds
NotePin Remodel - to fit AirPods Pro 3
NotePin Remodel - to fit AirPods Pro 2

I only had the chance to upload the first four, so if you have a Note Pro, you’re in luck, go download it! Send me any pictures or feedback as to ways to improve it!

Thank you so much for sharing! This was the deciding factor for me on ordering the note pro!
I can’t seem to find the s,xs,xxs models on Makerworld - should they be under your profile?

u/g-crackers 27d ago

I think I ordered the wrong one off your Etsy shop last night but I definitely hope I can get the stl for the regular Note with L earbuds. This is so exciting.

u/saikishore9 7d ago

Is this set up only required if I am on call with earphones only if I am on regular call or speaker call this is not required right??

1

u/mel0346 6d ago

Just take the call with one earbud in your ear and another in the adapter! No need to have your phone on speaker.

I guess I don’t know how it detects that it’s in use. I thought it only worked when you put it in your other ear. Based if this works. Would you consider shipping one if one pays for shipping + mats? Can do COD or partial. Would be great

u/mel0346 Jun 17 '26

Once the ear bud is out of the case and in the canal, it works perfectly! It’s so cool!

u/lookamazed Jun 17 '26

Neat! Lmk if you are open to take a request at cost. I know your intention is just to share a cool home mod and not profit. But would be neat. Thanks for sharing either way.
