I'm looking for a stereo HEADSET and not simply in-ear earphones for Skype at affordable prices.

From past experience, I own a dual jack headset Logitech from my PC. Sound came out but the mic never worked on mac mini. A HP XA490AA headphone worked great on PC but never recognized on OS X.

I'm thinking about a headset directly compatible with Mac OS X . I prefer a single jack input over USB since it doesn't use an USB port. But USB is fine. What options exist and what standards will allow me to know a single jack mic/earphone combination will work with a Mac?

**EDIT :** I know  iPhone/iPod/iPad headphones are compatible with macbook. But these are earphones. 

What I read today and for sharing
> The difference between USB and jack : USB uses the motherboard card.
> Jack uses the sound card. Usually laptops have crap sound cards. So go
