I will definitely grab that mic, anything good for $10 is a worthy impulse buy!
Those headphones you suggested cost twice as much as the ones I was looking at, I compared the two with headphone.com's graph tool and the specs look almost exactly the same for every measurement :I I don't get it...
Get a Sennheiser HD598 with a Zalman clip on mic. Amazon has good prices for both of these.

These sennheisers are one of the most comfortable open ear headphones at this price range. If you want something cheaper check out the Audio Technica AD900.
Cheers!
One of the reviewers added this about the mic for better performance.
"I got this microphone because of all the good reviews it got. Some people say people can't hear them, etc. This is true until you turn up the mic volume and give it boost. You have to go into your Realtek HD settings for the microphone. Once in there, check all the noise, echo, directional suppression boxes. Then it will ask to calibrate and you have to read some sentences. Put the meter to about 40. Also in the settings there is a mic boost option. I used it all the way to the +30 decibals. Now, the mic works excellent and is a tolerable level and sounds very clear. Make sure you at least check echo suppression if you don't do the others, otherwise you will just hear static. But for the price this mic rocks. Beware the cord is double the length of a twin size bed."
