Hi guys, for some reason lots of people have been asking me where they can get a good affordable mic (no idea why me). So i told them if they are looking for a good full-on headphone headset that they should just forget about all the Triton and Turtle beach ones with their rubbish sound quality and high prices for what they actually are (now I know some of you will be like "what the hell is this guy on about?", "They have good sound quality". Well sorry to break it to you but they don't, don't bother trying to argue with me, I've tried the majority of those ones. The are only a handful of good ones e.g. The AKG GHS 1).

So here is how I made my own mic headset.

The stuff you need:

Sennheiser HD202 headphones (￡25 at Amazon UK)

An official Sony PS3 Bluetooth (￡26 at Play.com) (if you have a better cheaper Bluetooth then use that, but don't buy the ￡8 Giotek one because that doesn't work).

A small screw (1cm-1.5cm long)

An old disused Bluetooth (optional)

A drill with a drill bit that will make a hole big enough for the screw (you are more than likely to have a drill of some sort lying around in your shed/garage/attic, etc...).

How to construct your headset:

1. Decide which side of your headset you want your mic to be on.

2. Once you have decided, drill a small hole in the FRAME of the headphones (if you drill the left side make the hole in the little Sennheiser logo or if you drill in the right side, drill through the r of Sennheiser). Don't drill too far as you will hit the ear cups and if you do that you are likely to screw up a very good pair of headphones.

3. NOTE: If you don't want to ruin the bit that goes around your ear on your good Bluetooth then use an old disused one for this step (I used an old one).

Take the bit of the Bluetooth that goes around your ear and drill a hole through the middle of the curve with the same drill bit as before.

4. Now just screw in the curvy part of the Bluetooth to the headphone frame with the screw.

5. Job done If you used a disused bluetooth you can now just mount your mic onto your headphones and use it on your ear whenever you want to with your good 'curve'.

If anybody has a better idea please share it.
I used those head phones because they are better than the SH*T top end Beats.

Sorry about the rubbish pic quality (i took them with my rubbish tablet in a dark-ish room).
