Build own headset?

Does anyone here have some experience of putting together an own headset?

I once bought a ground service headset (cheap) which I tried to use in a GA aircraft, with no luck. The mechanic at the airfield said it was because it did not have a built in amplifier. And the amplifier is why headsets are so expensive he said.

The headphones did work, but not the mic.

So, is it possible to buy these amplifiers some where?
And with the right technical knowledge you could build your own I guess.
