Do it Yourself PSP Headset Adaptor. |

I purchased SOCOM: FTB last week at EB Games.... I asked them if they got the headset in too.... nope. I searched all over this fine city of mine and NOBODY had the headset. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I asked many questions from the people on this [] board to find some insight into how the PSP Headset connects. Here's what I found.... The PSP Headset is using a four conductor 3.5mm mini jack. Basically there is one more conductor for the microphone to connect to. I was shopping today and noticed a PSOne A/V cable in the bargain bin. I pulled it out and noticed it had the same four conductor mini jack. I brought it to work and started my magic. I cut the cable in half ( that way I can make two) and I used a meter to tone out which wires were which on the end. The bottom three are for the left and right channels on the headpones and the top one is for the microphone. I soldered one female 3.5mm mini jack to the cables corresponding to the headphones and the other cable to the top for the microphone. I was then able to connect my headset from my PC directly into these connectors. I was able to play SOCOM: FTB for over two hours and everyone could hear me just fine!
You don't have to find the same cable as I did... But you can find the connector and make all the connections yourself!
This looks very promising, theoretically you can use any cellphone hands free (or possible certain Bluetooth) set should let you chat while playing online. Thanks JonathanDS for letting me share this while our readers. If anybody makes one of these and gets it working let us know what you think of it.You don't have to find the same cable as I did... But you can find the connector and make all the connections yourself!

AFAIR, 2.5mm headset jacks are mono...
Ah!
From the article:
"I was then able to connect my headset from my PC directly into these connectors."
Yeah, it's a 3.5mm splitter, kinda sorta. Only major difference is it's splitting from a four conductor minijack instead of the 'normal' three conductor stereo 3.5mm minijack.
But still, good pictures.
(and I *KNOW* the guy who wrote this is a phone phreak, as only people who have messed with that kinda stuff refers to "ring" and "tip".
After all, the phone phreak's most used mnemonic was
Red, Right, Ring. :)
so yeah, forget phillip's blurb at the end, cellphone headset jacks "won't" work. (without figuring out how they're wired and changing this guide to suit).
Just pick up your average PC headset with Stereo and Mic jacks.
(like one of these:
