It's actually quite affordable, and you can use any headphones you want.

Makes you really appreciate the work of the audio engineers

I linked the 2.5mm alternate and the lock mechanism is very easily removed. I had a pair of Sennheisers with the same issue, I got them working just fine with the adapter, and the KetDirect mic is actually pretty decent.
