Cheap Mic and Headphones for Playstation 3

Cheap Mic and Headphones for Playstation 3
Hi! This is my first instructable. Hope you guys like it! :D

I'm pretty sure you gamers out there have seen all the accessories for use with the PS3. USB microphones are pricey. Bluetooth headsets rely on batteries. Playstation Eye is a bit much, if you're only using it for the mic. Gaming headphones are ridiculously expensive.

You can play some games without one or the other, but it is almost essential to have a mic and headphones to play first-person shooters. Many claim that with the expensive brands, you can hear every little sound. You can use any headphones, and still get similar results without losing an arm and a leg in the process. With this simple solution, you can use any microphone or headphones you want!

Don't skip over this instructable. Some of this info applies to other game consoles!

You will need:
