I purchased SOCOM: FTB last week at EB Games.... I asked them if they got the headset in too.... nope. I searched all over this fine city of mine and NOBODY had the heaset. So I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I asked many questions from the people on this board to find som insight into how the PSP Headset connects. Here's what I found....
The PSP Headset is using a four conductor 3.5mm mini jack. Basically there is one more conductor for the microphone to connect to. I was shopping today and noticed a PSOne A/V cable in the bargain bin. I pulled it out and noticed it had the same four conductor mini jack. I brought it to work and started my magic.
I cut the cable in half ( that way I can make two) and I used a meter to tone out which wires were which on the end. The bottom three are for the left and right channels on the headpones and the top one is for the microphone. I soldered one female 3.5mm mini jack to the cables corresponding to the headphones and the other cable to the top for the microphone. I was then able to connect my headset from my PC directly into these connectors.
I was able to play SOCOM: FTB for over two hours and everyone could hear me just fine!
  You don't have to find the same cable as I did... But you can find the connector and make all the connections yourself!

Which one of those is Left headphone and which one is Right headphone?
I can draw up an electrical schematic if you can tell me.
Also...where did you get those sweet headphone plugs you put on the cable? Did you heat shrink to insulate your splices?
I'll have to do a little digging in my electrical supply catalogs and come up with a supplier, part number and price for a 4 conductor cable with the headset/microphone jack for those that can't find the PS1 cable.

Good questions... There was no splice... The female ends are solder type connectors.
So all I had to do was wire tip to tip, ring to ring and sleeve to sleeve on the headphone connector. It doesn't matter which is left or right.... as long as you wire it as shown on the third picture you should be cool.
The hardest part should be finding the four conductor plug... they exist almost everywhere but they are usually attached to RCA connectors. You can typically find them as A/V connectors for camcorders. Finding the PSOne cable was a fluke.

what you should have done is put a 2.5mm adapter on the end so you could use a cell phone headset... that way you have the mic and the earphone in the same piece...
