I have found that if we have one of the older ones boot camped, the mic portion of the headset connector won't function on the Windows side, so a USB one might be needed anyways. The way I understand Apple's headset jack is that it is like a normal 3.5mm jack that is a little longer and has one more pin added to it. There must be other magic that tells it whether the device you plugged in is digital or not, where most if not all headsets that aren't USB are likely purely analog.

Just take a Q tip with the fuzzy stuff off and stick it in the hole for headphones. Not sure how it does it but sometimes it will switch to digital input and will not respond to a 3.5 jack. The Q tip will reset the jack back to default.
