I've been researching this for over a month and I think your best bet here is the shure mic (or the M-Jays mic) with a quality set of phones.
The other thing you can do is recable your headphones to work with the apple headset.
I want to do this with the denon 751 but no one seems to have done it before.
i called up future sonics and they will wire in the atrio or FS1 to the apple headset. It is expensive but they will do it. The atrio would be $249 and the fs1 would be $129.
But.. here's the catch: no warranty EVEN if they do it.
You can try other custom manufacturers, but you aren't going to get the quality cables.
What I decided to do was go with the shure mic + the denon 751.
Let me know what you think or find. I'd like to recable the denon's to the apple headset, but I don't want to be the first
