We love a bit of modding. We love modding all the more when it's done out of exasperation. We love modding most when it's doen out of exasperation, necessity and penny-pinching!

Check out his superb thread, How to add a mike to your headphones... cheap! where he does the lot with a sharp knife and NO soldering... all on a budget of £2.34 including, as he so proudly states, the VAT!
