Headset Surgery
So, the other day I was gonna game with a few friends and discovered my mic wasn't working.....so Instead of ditching said headset, I decided to fix it, or at least take a try at fixing it. To my surprise, I fixed it. I took a stand alone mic I had lying around and used it to replace the original mic and mic boom. Coincidentally, the boom on both used the same kind of flexible boom.
This was the headset I had originally, same mic.(Aside from the lack of an inline mute button and bad mic, it's got fantastic sound and build quality)
This was the Mic I used to replace the original.Which IIRC, I bought off eBay awhile ago for something else.
And after an hour or so of finicky wire stripping, soldering, shrink tubing and other tinkering....this was the end result. I'm rather quite pleased at how factory it looks. I ended up cutting off the 3.5mm plug on the new mic, and unraveling some of the boom and cutting off part of hte metal. the original mic, I pulled off the little round bit that connected to the headset, and reused it.
