nice dude! Very cool!
Headphones + microphone = ghetto mod
11
So I was bored one day and decided to make myself a headset out of my headphones and microphone.
I took my Koss PortaPro's, which are my main headphones, and hot glued some velcro to them. (The duct tape over the pressure switch thing is to keep a piece of rubber there that I put in to keep the slider from sliding onto Firm mode by itself all the time.)
I ripped out a microphone boom from an old landline phone headset. I hot glued some thick cardboard to the boom, and velcro on top of that (to make it at an even level). Then I just clipped the microphone onto the boom (the mic's clip is way too huge to clip onto any wire or shirt). Then I put the foam cover on the mic, which I also got from the old headset, and used a rubber band to keep the wire in place.
The result is a fully functional microphone boom for my headphones, creating an awesome headset. The velcro easily holds the mic and it doesn't wobble around. I can easily attach and remove the mic, and the velcro on the headphones is the soft part, and it doesn't look too bad (not like I care about the looks).
The sound quality also increased greatly because of the foam thing on the mic and I guess since the boom holds it, it doesn't pick up any noise from when it rubs against my shirt when it's clipped on.

Nice one. Here's my old ghetto mic+headphone mod.
1x $15 garbage headset
1x $10 microphone that picks up all audio within a km radius
1x bottle cap
1x metal coat hanger
Lots of tape and super glue
