I tried using some ipod headphones by themselves, and they didn't work. I spoke loudly, and into both ear buds to make sure.

Wow you DO learn something new every day... I'm talking about the earbud/ mic thing of course. Great instrucable btw. Oh and I subbed

O_O Is that SkullCandy INK'D Buds you put as the mic?

How is the mic quality?

[laxdude31]

its pretty descent due to the fact you are using earbuds. Just speak up and it will be fine.

I forgot to say that the old walkman jack needs to go in the headphone port and the earbud jack needs to go in the microphone port. Sorry!

And sorry but this mic is not perfect you will really have to speak up to have someone hear you.
