Two small capacitors needs to be replaced with much bigger ones. Unfortunately, they are in a shielded enclosure where there apparently isn't room for sufficiently big capacitors. One aproach then, is to put the big caps outside the shield, and use wires to connect them inside. But that might lead buzz into the shielded unit - not recommended. Another approach is to short-circuit those small capacitors, and put big capacitors on the headset wire instead. But that means only that one headset fits your freerunner. I have suggested a refinement on the second approach: short the small capacitors. Add big caps outside the shielded unit - there are places with room. But don't put wires from the caps into the shielded unit. Connect them to the headset plug instead, and break the plug's normal connection to the circuit board. This approach won't pick up any more buzz than the headset based solution, or the current bassless setup. And you can use any headset you want. The big question is - is it safe to short those small capacitors? Or will that have other side effects, such as draining the battery or disturbing sound on the built-in speaker? Another question - is a single big capacitor enough, if it is put into the ground line instead of having one cap for each of the stereo channels? Or will that wreck stereo sound? One could then use a even bigger cap. There is lots of easily accessible room next to the battery, above the SIM card.
