Xbox 360 Wired Headset General Features: Boom microphone can be adjusted for optimal sound qualityLightweight, over-the-head design enables comfortable use 3.5-foot cable length
What 360 headset are you talking about that costs $50? I quite easily found official Xbox 360 headsets on Amazon for $8.85 and $14.99. Heck, they're even selling their wireless, Bluetooth headset for only $35.
So $25 for a cheap plastic wired headset seems pretty ridiculous to me.
Just buy one of the mics that come with the system. You can buy them separately. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Head-Set-Communicator/dp/B000B6MLU0/ref=pd_sim_e_4
I'm using optical out for my speakers, therefore, my analog connections are available still on my soundcard. I have the battlelog chat setup to use my mic and direct audio to my analog speakers which is what my headset is using. Therefore, I hear the game in my nice speakers, and hear people talking in just my headset while I can also talk back to them.
I actually use the Xbox 360 headset and it works perfectly:

You have to use this to connect it to your pc which will allow you to use the speaker and the mic:

From the look of it this is and older but cheaper version of the current default headset. Or you can buy this one.
