What?!  Whittle?  I picked up one for 3 bucks at radio shack, popped 
it in, and it worked great, contacts work and everything.  It should, 
since it is a standard micro jack (or whatever it's called).  By the 
way, at first I had to use a mono adapter which worked just fine, the 
only thing is that the sound only comes out one side of the 
headphones.
