n/m I finally found what i am looking for, initialy i was trying to find the original iphone headset so i could get rid of the cheap apple phones and use my Sennheiser cx300's with the mic/button.

I looked around for some after market headsets for the iphone and found
V-MODA Vibe Duo
Maximo iP-HS2 iMetal
Ultimate Ears Super.fi
But they were all so expensive sure they are alright phones but...
Then i looked at the cheap stuff on ebay like
Rivet etc and they all had shity phones (half the problem since i was willing to slice into them) but all of them also had either huge mic/buttons or just really ugly and i didnt want it to get in the way when i just listen to my music.

So thats when i decided buying the original headset and slicing into them and using the cx300 s was my best choice.

Untill i found these

they are real cx300's with a small black button the closest i found to the orginal iphone headset anyways. I did some research and a lot of people are saying they are real cx300's to so this is perfect for me.

I just wanted to share because it took me hours upon hours of searching online and going through 100's of ebay pages to find exactly what I was looking for and maybe this will help someone down the line.

Ill post another reply when i receive these and do my own review, I own 3 pairs of cx300's so ill tell if they are real or not. But judging by the thread on the macroumors forum im pretty certain they are real.
