Need Help: Headphones (Non-earbud) With Inline iPod/iPhone Music Controler/Mic?

[g00dbye]

I was curious to know if anybody knew of a pair of headphones aside from earbuds that have an inline controller/mic for pausing/skipping tracks and answering phone calls. I've given up on earbuds as I can't find a pair that is comfortable enough to fit my ears (I must have some strangely shaped ear canals) or a pair with decent enough sound quality. I'm looking for a pair of headphones that resemble something like the Skullcandy Hesh:

In fact, I wish the Hesh model had the inline controller, but alas they do not. So, does anybody know a pair like these that has the controller? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you! -Brian

Have you considered using adapters like this?

This would be a good option but the I feel that the problem would be that the controller would be so low on your body that people couldn't hear you on the mic. And I kind of refuse to clip that thing on my shirt.

The cord comes off near the headphone, so you can attach the griffin adapter there.

This would be good, except that you still have to extend the cord down to your iPod/iPhone, taking the adapter with it.

Hm, doesn't show how long the adapter cord is. But if it is too short, just do: headphone - adapter - headphone's own cord.

...this is actually a very good idea. Thank you!

Although, I'm still open to any other suggestions you guys may have.
Especially since I'm not really in a position to spend $180 on headphones at the moment.

I use the Shure Music phone adapter with the Hesh and it works fine. I use it in placeof the extender that comes with the Hesh. The attached cable is very short, so it's fine. The controller is a little low but it picks up your voice without problem, and it's in a great place for controlling tracks and answering the phone. It's a great solution.

Word! You may have answered all my questions. Thank you!!

EDIT: On second thought, there wouldn't be any way you could take a couple pictures of the set up, could you? This is to know how long the overall cord length is and just get a picture of where the mic lands. Also, I'm curious because I was intending on using the Griffin SmartTalk as my mic/controller.
