Do It Yourself Component List
We encourage experimentation with regard to headset design. Our “recommended” design (available in kit form) is the result of extensive field testing, but it is certainly not the only possible solution. So, we hope that a number of do-it-yourselfers will tackle the headset problem on their own and come up with innovative solutions. To enable such efforts, we provide a full list of components below.
Disclaimer: Please do not attempt to go the DIY route unless you are experienced with soldering and know how to strip miniature cable and solder tiny mic connectors. Note that we are unable to provide instructions and we cannot guarantee support if you run into problems.
