How to Make a PSP Headset

Gaming headsets have a earpiece and microphone combination that allow you talk and listen during game play. They are used for games such as "Socom" that require verbal communication for strategy. You can convert a set of PlayStation Portable compatible headphones and a cellphone headset into a complete gaming headset, which contains headphones and a microphone. Almost anyone can make a headset with the right tools.
