HowTo: RCA to Headphones Converter

This little How To will show you how to "plug your headphones" into your video game console, so to speak. This is great for people who have relatives in the house, or who need greater immersion in their games. It will also save you lots of money on a fancy sound system, too. Before reading on, make sure you are using RCA cords with your console, not any of the other cords, or it might not work ( I haven't tried it with those). Lets begin!
You can pick up all of these parts from your local Electronics store, all of it for under $5.

  1. The first things you will need are two RCA "female to female" adapters.
  2. 1. The "female to female RCA adapters" are also called "RCA Barrel Adapters"
    Next, you need a RCA Audio to Headphone Converter. If the headphone part is male, then you need to go to step 3. If it is female, you are done!
  3. Finnaly, you will need a female to female Headphone converter.
  4. 3. Female to female headphone converter, or barrel converter
    3. Female to female headphone converter, or barrel converter
    2. The RCA Audio to Headphone Jack
    Now, plug all of the components together. They will only fit together one way, so your job is cut out for you! Observe the completed converter photo.
Alternative: You can sum it down to two parts by using part 3, and this type of RCA Audio converter. There are actually alot of different combinations you can use, so don't be afraid to dredge your knick knack draw, you never know- you may have everything you need right there!
The completed converter! Enjoy!
