Can you use earphones as microphone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The combined headphone/boom mic, usually have two 3.5mm plugs, color coded green and pink.

Plug the green one into the headphone or speaker output and the pink one into the mic socket.

If the headset has a single 3 ring,(stereo) 3.5mm plug, then it is generally not compatible with computer use.

You may be able to find an adapter, that converts a stereo plug to two separate plugs.

What does speakers and headphones look like?

Asked by Wiki User

you can tell its a speaker if its a box or shell, and one end has a grate or mesh covering, there will be a wire coming out of the side opposite to the grill. this wire needs to be plugged into your amp, computer, or sub woofer, depending on your PC audio setup, for more information, contact your PC manufacturer, or try www.fixya.com. Now onto headphones. you can recognize headphones by their distictive "U" shape. there will be bulbus ends on this "U" shape and on the inner part will be soft cusions. you want to invert this "u" so it looks like "n", then place the cusions over your ears so as to sit comfortably and completely cover them. plug the wire into a hole of the smae size with a picture of the headphones themselves near it, or the word "headphones". In all cases, a plugged in speaker or headphone will sound out if you play a song, etc. while plugged in.

Output, the sound is coming from the computer.

Headphones are output; they produce something after receiving signal from another device, such as a computer or electronic player.

When you use headphones they go in the output port of your computer.

How can you blow out headphones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is yes, I recently blew out a pair, yet the circumstances were more than most people would have to worry about. I managed this feat by while recording drum tracks for a cd, the beats were plugged into a headphone interface that boosted the volume output by a crazy amount. This allowed the headphones to get louder than any music device would allow them to get and therefore blew them out.

Are Bluetooth headphones safe?

Asked by Bornstn

Scientists have discovered that some Bluetooth headsets can contaminate the inner ear with radioactive gamma rays when used excessively. There are, however, several Bluetooth headsets manufactured by Orange, which are not only less damaging, but also very green to the environment. That is a very colorful sentence!

Are magnetic headphones harmful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YEs. But if you wear them for too long they leave red marks on your ears. They also fall off very easily. If you put your hair behind your ears like I do and you hit the earring then they could fall off. Another bad thing is if you accidentally swallow one and then swallow another they will rip through your insides and kill you while they try to get to each other so keep them away from babies. Other than that they are good though.

Who is the creator of the very first headphones?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Alexander Graham Bell worked on devices that would help kids and adults who had severe hearing loss. One of his devices was a single headphone that could effectively deliver loud sound to a deaf person. He used a microphone that he invented, so that people could talk to the headphones that the deaf were listening to.

The device worked wonderfully, and Bell went on to invent a device that combined the headphone in the same container as the microphone. He referred to his new device as a "telephone".

Bell's last name was later used as a new unit for measuring the strength or loudness of sounds, and it was called the Bel. A Bel defines a pretty loud sound, way beyond what would be heard around the house or in town. Scientists back then thought it would work better for most things to use one/tenth (1/10) of a Bel, instead. In the metric system, it was called a deciBel. The "B" is capitalized because the unit, Bel, was taken from someone's name. The abbreviation for deciBel is dB, still using that capital "B".
