How to use earbuds of earphones, including those from Apple, with a Crystal Radio. To do this, put a transformer between the crystal radio's output and the earbud. In this video I use a doorbell transformer but I found the small transformer attached to the circuit board in a microwave oven worked well too. The high voltage/higher turn count/higher resistance side goes to the crystal radio and the lower voltage/lower turn count/lower resistance side goes to the earphone. A small one-to-one/isolation transformer works well too as well as a small AC-to-AC wall adapter.
