Author Decent cell phone headset & plug adaptation questions

I have a Siemens A56i cell phone for which I would like to get a
headset. Unfortunately, the phone has a bizarre proprietary plug, not
the "universal" 2.5mm kind, and the only headsets available with the
plug are those miserable in the ear "earbud" kind, which in my
experience fall out constantly. SOOOOO, I plan to buy a cheap generic
earbud with the Siemens plug (available for around $6 online), cut the
plug off & either graft it onto a 2.5mm headset or make an adapter with
the cutoff seimens male plug and a 2.5mm female inline socket. I'm
assuming the 2.5mm plugs on these cell headsets are the same 3 conductor
type as used in general audio, no? A common for the mic/spkr then a hot
for each? Seems straightforward enough. Finally, can anyone suggest an
especially good headset? On all the one's I've had experience with,
either YOU can't hear THEM, or THEY can't hear YOU, or the damn thing's
uncomfortable as all get out, or ALL 3!!! Any specific make/model
suggestions appreciated.
