The longer I surf the web the more shocking discoveries I make. This is probably stale news to Audio Enthusiasts/Technicians, but as it turns out, you can turn ANY headphone/earphone into a microphone!
How to go about it? Well, you take the headphone wire, and plug it into the microphone jack on your computer. As simple as that. Trust me when I say, this is NOT a troll post! Try it out, plug your headphones into your computer's microphone jack, and speak into the headphones.
Yes, it's true that the gain will be bit lesser than high quality microphones, and the audio quality will not be top notch, but it works just fine for voice recordings. And don't forget, you have to speak into the speakers of the headphones, not put them on your ear!
The science behind this is very simple. Essentially, the technology behind speakers and microphones is pretty much identical, which lets any speaker function as a microphone.
Oh, and if the headphones have padding, the recording will obviously sound muffled, so earphones are best...
This concept was once featured in a movie. I don't remember which one, but the parents had shrunk themselves by accident. Someone let me know which movie that was please!
Many people have done videos on this on YouTube, take a look at this one for example:
