[adrian3117]

@thebannanashake32

It works because of a simple principle okay here i go.

A speaker is simply an object which pumps back and forth creating sound by collision of air particles or in other words creates a soud wave.

Now a microphone is EXACTLY the same thing but done in reverse instead of the computer or other device sending electric current to the speaker to control it the speaker in the microphone is sending the current back EXACT same technology differet use in fact if you were to modify th

what is this song?! :D

[ZMorpheus]

Can you do this with Iphone; Use PC mic as the mic for Iphone, when it only has Audio line.

[bijibijmak]

@ZMorpheus I believe not, because as you might have seen on iphone headphone's jack, you instead of 3 stripes you have 4, 1 ground, 1 right speaker, 1 left and 1 microphone, so I don't think you could get the same result for iphone as you get for this one. Of course you are always free to experiment. So maybe you could try and get back to me with the results :.

[sethfishing]

[craptaco1]

Yeeessssss!!!!!! Disturbed!!!!!!!!!

[ducttapepeople]

can this be used on a xbox 360 live?

[bijibijmak]

If it has a sepertae mic jack, sure!

[DOAxSmoky]

@ducttapepeople - thats a good F****g question .. !

[faglolwtf]

@ducttapepeople you must have a saller haed jack. siz you can get nice headsets wthat are tin that size and have adapters so it can go to s,mall ones (its defualt size and other ones, i HIGHLY recomend this becuase the sound quality and range of them, is AWSOME. m,utch better than all the other haedsets ever m,ade for xbox. (again it has universal sadapters and also works on phones) you will notic only one side works thats kuz xbox headsets only usauly cover one ear. its called, stereo headset

[ndshomebrew]

nice idea.. one disappointing ting.. it cant record very good with good volumes (you must turn music harder (you know what I mean? :P))

And one thing about vista. it sucks.. but thats my problem :P

[Vorkenstein]

Anyway;

it works :]

but the sound = bad ;o

how can i make it harder?

[bijibijmak]

Turn up The volume. with this equepment ( No amps ) This is the best sound that you can get from it. But the smaller the earphone is, the better the sound is...

[Vorkenstein]

I Cannot find Sound-Recorder on Vista!!

[matty0l214]

serch it in "run"

[bijibijmak]

start ->All programms --> Accessories.

[yelly2tight]

what song is that

[bijibijmak]

It's Disturbed - Decadence. Sorry for replying so late, i'm in Iran and you tube is filterd.

[geme765]

cani use this for my ipod touch?

[bijibijmak]

I dont think so, because ipod touch or iphone or any other divice that uses only one jack for microphone and head phone, has a diferent jack, not like the one that you computer has. Even if you connect a real mic to your ipod touch, it won't work. You should try it any way, maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry for replying so late, i'm in Iran and youtube is filterd.

[2muchwatching]

doesnt work

[Olirap]

it should, a microphone is essentially a speaker wired in reverse, perhaps your headphones have a diode in it to stop noise. that wiould prevent this from workin

[2muchwatching]

i have a cheap 3 dollar earphones

[rancena]

hah?

ITS WORKS MAN!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO IVE ONLY BUY A WEBCAM ONLY

THANKS MAN!

[skater9138]

OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH!@!!! YOU SAVED ME LIKE 10$ i found some old ones i had when i was about to go out and buy a microphone!

[bijibijmak]

My plesure!

[MKKID28]

cant get it to work :(

[bijibijmak]

Are you using a big head phone or a smaller size like the one in the video?

Is your sound source loud enough?

[pineapple118]

a microphone is the same thing as an earphone, a microphone picks up sound and turns it into resistance, so all you have to do is reverse the current direction.

[bijibijmak]

Yes my friend that's how I first found out how this is possible!

[ShaCRaM]

It works !

[ScotterationMascot]

WOW!!!! i thought this was a joke!!! well the jokes on me now; if you dont mind im going to go cry over my wasted money on a microphone :P

[Tytytucke]

[Esuld]
