Make your own Socom Headset

greg | November 21, 2005

mike has sent us an email showing how to create your own Socom headset using an existing set of headphones and a cellphone headset with mic. Simply stripping the wires and matching the colours up will leave you with your very own Socom communcation headset!

Below are some screenshots:

Wow, so I can save $30 for about the equivalent of thirty dollars in time and frustration. Pass.

That’s a great idea. The socom headset is cool but… it is pretty “clunky” and it leaves a lot to be desired in the sound department. The don’t stay firmly pressed again your ear, so you lose a lot of the dynamic range of the music and sound effects (ie bass, midrange).

Something that would go in the ear or a headband style would be much more desirable. I will be searching around for a different set or build my own as MIKE did. won’t be hard to do and won’t cost much if any money as I thnink I have all the parts laying around somewhere.

If you do buy a stereo headset with the mic, just make sure there are 3 bands on the mini plug. two are for the headphones and one band is for the mic.

So what’s with the different endings, is the end that plugs into the PSP dongle thing just a normal ear bud connector? Now if there were a way to hook it up to this hack:

#41 a bit overkill but ur rite. let #39 go buy some giant ass battery to run the tv, xbox and all the damn games he wants. like #18 said lets pray that the xbox out-graphics the psp. if it didn the xbox wud be crap and y the hell wud u pay 400 dollars for something u cud get better PORTABLE for 250. and none of this $300 bullshit. buying the hard drive alone wud cover the 100, not to mention the wireless controlers, and the backwards compatability that comes with the hard drive. not to mention the remote and the live headseat, need i continue… but anyway get a ps3 and have a psp, ps3 shud blow xbox 360 out of the water. and dont come in here with that nintendo shit cuz their FINALY making a freakin dvd player when sony and microsoft are making freakin super computers. xbox 360=AWSOME, PS3=FREAKIN SWEET,PSP=GREAT,NINTENDO=WHO?
sory for being off topic. i get pasionate about some subjects.

…People, if you have a problem with the PSP, don’t post about it hear, we don’t want to hear you ranting, take it to Dane Cook or sumthing. Those who are interested, and have free time, and like do-it yourself activities, go ahead and try, it works, I have taken the 5 minutes to do this. I am not insulting anyone, but, for those who want fresh air, take the PSP outside, sit under a tree. You know, get some fresh air while u snipe the NASF.

Can the person who made this, make a tutorial or at least some better pictures because I can’t figure out which wires to put together.

 
Comment by doug
2005-11-23 02:46:14

why the hell would i bother with this. it would be so much easier to just buy the damn headset and besides, the wires in total would cost about the same as to just go to the store and bloudy buy one + the effort.
crikey!

2005-11-23 12:52:55

This wastes a lot time. Better just going to the nearest radioshack get a 1.5mm jack converter to a 3.5mm and use a regular phone headset.

2005-11-23 17:28:00

can sbody pls describe which wire
of the PSP remote control (I mean which color) corresponds to what
for the headset?

I mean which is Gnd, Mic, Speaker-R and Speakr-L ?

.. and is there a way to write homebrew using the mic input ?

 
Comment by nick
2005-11-23 17:49:25

#61 and #65, just go to a cellphone store and buy a $5 handsfree headset with the headphone jack not a special one then no cutting, just plug it in

You can find it for about 20 bucks even online. But ya thats not that point its a great idea to do one on your own especially if you own all the equipment yourself. But heres a great website for it really cheap http://www.gameexpress.com/product_detail.cfm?UPC=711719852704
