Homebuilt SOCOM PSP Headset

Don't want to fork over $20 for a Sony PSP headset?
Want to use your OWN headset?

NOTE: These are the EXACT items I used, but remember: all plugs and jacks are 3.5mm like you find on the PSP, NOT 2.5mm like you find on cell phones/handys.


You need one of these:
Hama 4-pin, 3.5mm plug to 3 RCA plug, 1 video, 2 audio
part number: 00043090

NOTE: The link to the picture above is of a 2.5mm plug, what's needed is the one with the 3.5mm plug! That's why I threw in the part number.

And one of these:
A simple y-splitter that allows one to connect two sets of 3.5mm headphones (like came with the PSP value pack) to one 3.5mm jack audio source. You know, so two people can listen to one iPod, Walkman, PSP, etc. You can find one of these just about anywhere.


Now, what I did was cut the 3.5mm plug off the Y-adapter headphone "splitter" (the second picture) and cut the RCA plugs off the first picture. Then just spliced one 3.5mm jack onto the two "audio" cables that used to have RCA plugs on them. Then spliced the other 3.5mm jack into the one audio cable that used to have the yellow "video" plug on it. Make sure you use good electrical tape wrapped tightly around all the splices...would be better to solder the connections yourself and wrap it with heat-shrink non-conducting tape.
BAM! It worked!
