Non Bluetooth headsets for iphone?

Hello all,

I'm looking for non bluetooth (aka ones with a wire) headsets with little luck. I've tried using a belkin iphone adapter for my Bang and Olufsen Earset 1 but it does not fit (which shocked the apple store people who had no alternative suggestions). I've been looking and all I've seen are bluetooth sets. Anyone have any suggestions for a good wired headset for use with iphone?

Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

For alot of standard headphones to work you will need one of the 2 adaptors below

You might also check out the v-moda vibe duo headset. It's a wired headset that functions exactly as the ones that came with the iPhone while providing a higher level of comfort as well. See the link below :

Have you looked at the adapter from Shure (Shure Music Phone Adapter for iPhone) ... at the Apple Store and elsewhere. Folks who cannot use the iSoniTalk (Monster) adapter with an existing headset have said this works, albeit with a cord that's a tad long.

Yeah I got that Belkin one which didn't fit and then the monster one isn't the right size (the bang Olufsen seems to be 2.54mm or .1 inch, monster is for 3.5mm).
