Headphones, we all have them lying around. In fact, most of us have a few pairs.

To name a few that I have, the official apple headphones, a pair of sony over the ear headphones, a pair of old school sony headphones, noise canceling maxell headphones, I have a set of skullcandy full metal jacket earbuds, and last but not least, the grenade X boosted headphones.

If you were to ask me how many microphones I have, I would tell you two. As with most people, I don't have a lot of microphones laying around and for a while I didn't have any microphones at all. I solved this problem by using a pair of headphones as a microphone.

I wouldn't recommend using a pair of headphones as you only microphone, but it will work if you need a microphone and you can't get your hands on one right away. Who knows, you might find a great pair of headphones that work perfectly for you as a microphone, but you'll never know if you don't give it a shot!

So first, look at the end of your headphones and count the rings. You will most likely have two rings, this is for the left and right audio. If you have three rings this means you have a mic built into your headphones already and you're all set!

After counting the rings, if you have two rings, plug the headphones into a camera or a computer's microphone input jack. Now, start talking into the headphones and see if your device picks up your voice. Try talking in both earphones at once to get a clearer and louder sound. If this works you're all set! Just be sure to post a comment telling me what kind of headphones you used and what you plugged them into. If it didn't work, try another pair until you get one to work!

Hope this will keep all of those horrible videos where people record themselves typing a tutorial in notepad without a microphone!
