I was wondering how i would go about making a custom headset for my pc out of some old walkie-talkies. If you have a link to a tutorial or just know how to do it, please post it or pm it to me. TY!

Are we talking about walkie-talkies with little headsets attached?

I'm sure it's possible with some minor modifications. You would definitely need the tools to get it open, along with a soldering iron and probably some 1/8" plugs and wires. If you post a picture of these opened up, I could probably advise based on what I see.

its actually just a little walkie-talkie with the mic and speaker in the same spot on the inside of it and u just press and hold a button to talk and whenever you receive something from someone else, it automatically plays what they are saying. im wondering if there is a way i could just take out the mic from it and solder some wires to a microphone plug and just add something that can bend to make it stay on my head then do the same thing for the speaker part but put it by my ear. ill get a pic of it unopened and then opened sometime today.

Yeah, given the complexity of printed circuit boards in today's electronics, it may be more feasible to just sell the walkie-talkies and buy a headset

Especially considering you'd have to make a headband from it, and you can substitute pressing a key for a push-to-talk circuit. I've found that to be more convenient.
