This particular USB sound card, which can be found in many online stores, has a red LED that blinks when data is being transferred. It is particularly useful to see if your mic is still on or not. You can switch off the mic by going through the same audio device settings and selecting Do Not Use for the input, unplugging it, or unplugging the card itself.
If you insist on having really good quality headphones that will last, do what I did. Save some cash, buy some audiophile grade headphones, and use them for everything. The same applies with the mic. You can spend as little or as much as you want. One improvement that I'm planning, is building a small headphone amplifier instead of using the current speaker setup.
There are many variants of the cmoy amp online, and there are many Instructables to get ideas. Alternatively, there are headphones out there that have in-line volume control, but the selection is very limited and they may sound too quiet without amplification. The method I have described is not just useful for connecting headphones to a PS3, but other game consoles as well.
If you noticed the picture down there, it's also useful for connecting speakers to a television that only has mono sound. I find it ironic that my TV has a headphone jack, but only one audio input. Thanks for reading! It works great with my Playstation 3. I also built an "acoustic simulator" to go along with it. Together, they work great when playing games online. Check my instructable on how to build the simple acoustic simulator crossfeed circuit and try it for yourself.
July 10th, After years of using my PS3 audio setup and continuing the struggle of explaining the benefits of "good" headphones, I have gone ahead and made a single graphic that I have used to pass around to my friends. Expensive namebrand "gaming" sets still persist in the market and, after testing some of them out, I am not impressed.
I'm all about finding the price vs performance sweet spot, and a lot of the headsets catered towards gaming are either about looks or don't live up to audio quality or durability expectations.
On the image, I have included some quick information on different types of headphones. Be sure to see the original image size as some of the text is fairly small. I have occassionally gotten new subscribers. Thanks for taking the time to read. Great instructable btw. Reply 7 years ago on Introduction. I found one on Amazon a long time ago. Alternatively, you could go with getting a combination of more common adapters like a 3. Reply 8 years ago on Introduction.
This is an awesome and informative DIY. Good job! Quick question though, I recently just bought a new pair of headphones from Razer. They are a pretty good quality and I love them to death. They came with an interchangeable cable, one with a mic, and one without. Reply 9 years ago on Step 4.
After looking at the link you sent me, Razer is selling a splitter to split up the audio and mic channels separately. You might be able to find a cheaper one on amazon or ebay. From there you can plug the headphone into one of those USB sound cards like I did.

Hope that helps, and thanks for reading. I take a look and read all the steps just because i saw Grado headphone in the first place. I'm a Grado fan - well i just have SR60i and you have SR80i but the difference is just on the earpad. I already know about the steps you mentioned except to make a headphone amp. I dont know how to make one,though. My speaker cannot be used as an amplifier- they're suck- they will downgrade my SR60i sound - i guess.
BTW, My television does not have a headphone jack - it's really suck you know. Making a headphone amp shouldn't be that hard with a little time. If you're an electrical engineering student, I'm sure most of the parts can be found in the laboratory of when you're going to school. Look up "cmoy" headphone amp. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Reply 9 years ago on Step 2.
You do not need to connect to a TV, unless your TV is what has the headphone jack. Reply 9 years ago on Introduction. What's wrong with Bluetooth headsets relying on batteries? Reply 10 years ago on Step 2. The signal coming from the ps3 will be too small to listen to comfortable. Maybe in a really quiet room and a loud game may be okay to listen to like this, but I wouldn't suggest it. Reply 10 years ago on Step 4. Reply 11 years ago on Introduction.
