Hi,
I have searched all over the internet (including this forum) and I have not been able to get some serious suggestions for headsets (earphone + mic) with the ability to answer/end calls. 
My budget is very tight.. maximum of INR 1000 ($ 20). 
The only reason why I want to buy an in-ear headset is that the stock headset for HTC Desire S is just not comfortable with my ears.
Looking forward for some help.
Thanks!

Honestly you be lucky to get a Lead for $20, I guess you are not looking for Audiophile earphones, The ear phones that come with the HTC Desire are not really that big either there a standard size Bud.
 
If you're looking for a IEM you might want to up your budget you will pay $25 just for a control unit extra ontop of any headphone you want..
 
Good lucky anyways

By Control Unit, you mean the Adapter right? 
I am ready to buy the adapter i.e. this one --> http://www.htc.com/hk-en/product/accessory/headset_hs-u350.html
 
But they don't sell it in India. Can't find it anywhere.
 
Did come across these two that fit my budget and are compatible with Iphone. But not sure of they'll be fully compatible with HTC.

Never heard of either of them, You will find alot of people here spend atleast $80 on ear phones with Mic's as the sound is 10 fold better then standard ear phones, You do get people that spend $300-$1600 on just phones for Ipods.
 
I can say Xears can be had cheap within budget when the 'Money off codes' show up on the forum, But they don't have a inline control, Sadly you won't get good earphones for that type of money, I suspect you don't care for the SQ and are content with the standard Buds SQ, I was the same till i wanted same level DQ as my HD555's on the go and i ended up getting IE8's which are $400.
 
Maybe someone else can let you know if those inears are good but all bets are against..

haha... alright. I guess I'll have to do the searching all alone. Just don't know where else do i search for one. 
 
BTW, you do get good if not excellent.. 2.5mm and standard 3.5mm headsets for the price. Just that I am finding it difficult to find one compatible with HTC.

Wow! This helps. Thanks a lot.. Some of my questions are answered from this link.
I think now it would not be difficult to find one.
 
Thanks you guys.

Well, I made my decision.. and just thought of posting it here, may help some other HTC user later.
 
I bought SoundMagic - MP-21  for a good deal, around $23. 
Have been using it since over a week now, and I must say they are awesome. 
If you're a hip-hop lover, then I would say the bass effect is not ideal for hip-hop music.
Rock sounds mind blowing... 
And yes, the call button, track changes.. all of it works well too. 
 
Thanks!
