Tutorial I

Well lets face it, they are not very loud. Its been annoying me for sometime now, i spoke to a guy (a sound engineer) about this and he showed me this way of doing it. It works well and they are much louder.

Tools needed:
Fingers of steel!!! (or some pliers)
A soldering iron

First thing you need to do is remove the grey covers of the headphones. To do this hold the grey cover with the pliers and twist the headphone, it should come off quite easily.

I have drawn a diagram for the next bit to make it easier! http://www.pspiso.com/Smileys/default/wink.gif

The next bit involves the soldering iron so heat it up. You will need to de-solder the copper wire shown in the diagram, removing it from part A. You will then need to solder it onto point B, which is on the other side of the resistor. Dont worry i did this myself, its not that hard. It just takes some patience and a steady hand.

Click the grey headphone cover back on with the pointy bit facing downwards towards the wire (as it was) and try them out!!

I hope this helped you lot that are fed up with the 'ear friendly' homo headphones

Tutorial II

Right, as soon as i got my psp i put a few mp3's on it and after they were done i plugged in the sexy white headphones and to my suprise *drum roll* ...the headphones were a bit s**t. Heres a tutorial on how to make them un-s**t, get a pair of plyers or something to hold the grey bit of the head phone steady, then turn it untill it pops off, the inside should look like this ..

De-solder the copper wire (Point A)and resolder it to point B, then jsut to make sure pop the resistor with a pair of plyers or something (the first time i tried it on the left headphone it didnt make any difference untill i popped the resistor) and put them back together agian to have about twice as much sound output (if not more)
