Plug your new headset into any stereo or mono output jack and for the first time use the phone without any obligation on your part!

Use it to cue up tracks when DJing and intimidate people into thinking you're 'on the phone' and they should NOT try to talk to you! This REALLY WORKS!

Good hint to keep those DJ-talker away, but for a whole set I wouldnt use a handset ;-). Nice Idea!

Hey, is it possible to cut the phone in half then put plastic or something so that is coveres both ears?

it would be a lot more work. this is only hooking up the earpiece of the phone, so sound is only coming from one end... the one with the speaker in it. you could do this, but you would need another telephone so you have two speakers and it would be a little different in terms of soldering. but they wouldnt be that great of headphones, and you should really just spent the time working to earn money to buy a nice pair of monitoring headphones from like seinheisser or something.
