Hi Ralph,

Many speakers will double as mics and vice versa depending on the technology. I remember an old 1960's Radio Shack plan for build it yourself walkie talkies that used cheapo speakers that way, and I think a lot of factory units pull that trick also. But it never sounded as good as an actual mic.

So when I read somewhere about using the Shure SE110 as a mic I was skeptical but figured it was worth a shot. And the sound quality just blew me away. You do have to EQ to make it sound right, but that's true of any mic. I also wondered whether articulation would be captured well, so I compared to recording from an external mic. The barrel mic was better. I caught a couple pair of 110's on eBay at about $20 each, but even at $50+ it's a great deal.

I'm sure other earphones would work also, perhaps even better. But I wasn't in the mood to experiment. Give me something that works and I can move on to creating and capturing music.

Eventually I guess I'll show the whole process on some YouTube videos. If anybody reading this wants to encourage that process, go comment and plead your case on my YouTube channel. :-)

Let me know how it works out.
