Use Your Headphone As a Microphone

Do you know ?

There is an interesting fact about Headphones i.e. they can also be used as a microphone !
Technically :
There is not much difference between the circuits of a Microphone and a Headphone , just the headphone is designed to spread voice and an microphone to capture the voice !






In fact the basic principal of working of a speaker and a microphone is same.
A speaker converts electrical signals into sound waves and A microphone converts sound waves in electrical signals.

Working :

So if you connect the headphone in the microphone slot of your computer, you could use it as a microphone.
Just speak in the ear buds of the microphone, but please speak a bit loudly to be audible at the other end !

* I know that it is not a good idea to use a speaker or headphone as a microphone but it can be done for experiment purpose and for temporary solution *
