Hacking up Kleer earbuds to convert to universal adapter

Hi everyone,

I just got a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones, and I found out I like them much better than my wireless Kleer Sennheiser RS160. I have these Kleer earbuds that are just awful in every way http://www.slashgear.com/digifi-digital-op...review-1978317/. I would like to hack them up and put a 3.5mm stereo female plug at the end, so I can connect the M50's there. I'm just wondering if I can just do a simple connection as if they were speakers. So L and R signals go to tip/ring, and both grounds would be combined into the sleeve, would that be right and nothing would explode?

If anyone got any other ideas, I'm all ears. I've spent the past hour and a half looking for aptX transmitters/receivers that support the aptX Low Latency implementation, and I only found one transceiver that's $80 a piece. If anyone could point me to something like that for less than $100 that would be cool.

You need 2.

I don't know why you are worried about latency in a playback-only environment.

It's gonna be for watching movies and probably playing games, and bluetooth doesn't cut it for that most of the time. Actually the one I saw was a newer version of that adapter which incorporates the low latency version of aptX. Apparently aptX low latency is not very common yet. Also according to the negative reviews, it has some issues that I've found very annoying in other such products, such as turning itself off when there's no sound and having to get up and turn it on again.
