Many devices like phones, computers, have a microphone to communicate with other people and for other purposes. If the microphone is not included with the device, or the user is not satisfied with the quality of the built-in microphone, then, as a rule, he purchases a stationary microphone separately. But any device tends to break down, then you have to look for a way out, so many will be curious to know how to make a microphone out of headphones.
Preparation for work
People, as practice shows, after a breakdown of certain equipment, they often simply throw it away and try to purchase a new one. Let's talk about headphones. Do not rush to throw them away ahead of time, because with the help of this device you can make a microphone out of headphones for both a computer and a laptop. Before starting work, you need to make the following blanks:
- Mostordinary headphones, as an option, from the phone.
- 3, 5mm plug (male).
- Good wires.
- Soldering iron of the required power.
- Solder, rosin.
There are two ways to make a microphone through headphones. This work is not too difficult and not very time consuming.
First way
The question of how to make a microphone out of headphones can arise at least for financial reasons or in an urgent need to contact someone. This solution is the best one. So, first of all, you have to work with a soldering iron.
A two-wire wire is taken and soldered to the existing 3.5 mm plug. It is necessary to treat the place where the wires are soldered with rosin, apply a little solder and wait for it to set. It is necessary to achieve good soldering, if this succeeds, you can proceed to the next step:
- First you need to disassemble the headset itself on the headphones, it contains a microphone along with a call acceptance button.
- Next, carefully solder the other end of the two-wire wire to this microphone.
- The main thing is not to overdo it with solder, otherwise the device may be damaged.
- At the end of the work, you must reassemble the headset.
Having done everything step by step, as described above, without using an excess amount of solder, which can easily cause a short circuit, you should get a stationary microphone. If everything is done correctly, then at the moment of its connection withthe computer can hear characteristic clicks.
Second way
This method is simpler, requiring a minimum of effort and resources. In order to make a microphone from headphones, you need to take a mobile phone and a Bluetooth adapter from a PC.
Next, you need to establish a Bluetooth connection between your phone and computer. After that, by connecting the headset to the phone, you can get a temporary replacement for the microphone, but it is not recommended to use this method permanently.
The downside of this method is the unstable operation of the Bluetooth connection, which can easily be interrupted at the most inopportune moment, plus it greatly affects the phone's battery charge, the level of which also needs to be constantly monitored. By putting it on charge, you can partially solve this problem, but it will not be very convenient in terms of the abundance of wires.
In conclusion
Now no one should have problems with how to make a microphone out of headphones. As mentioned above, it is possible to make a temporary headset without much effort, while it is not possible to purchase a new one. Of course, there is no need to talk about the good sound quality of such a microphone, such devices will be inferior in many respects to factory stationary headsets. But if you have all the necessary parts at hand, you can try to assemble a microphone. Do not forget that the creation of such things contributes to the understanding of the principle of operation of many devices that we use every day. Experiment and create!
