Very few Windows Mobile devices support USB host, which is required to
use peripherals (such as a headset). They are set up to support USB
client, so they can be peripheral devices.
This doesn't really have anything to do w/ USB host support...
Your iPAQ has a standard 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack that will work
with any wired headphone that uses standard 3.5 mm stereo plugs.
Simple converters can add support for headphones with 2.5 mm or 1/4"
stereo plugs.
The hx4700 had a combined Jack socket; that is, one that also accepts 3.5mm
headphones with a microphone input. Looking at the socket of my 210 and
comparing it to my 210, it seems the 210 also has this input (but I'm not
sure - will test it later with a real headset). That is, instead of an
extended USB headset, you can use either a real 3.5mm headset or an extended
USB headset with a 3.5mm -> eUSB converter.

You can buy lots of USB headset/mic combos for a PC/laptop, but is
this even an option for a Windows Mobile 6 device such as the Ipaq
200?
Does the mini usb device on the Ipaq 200 even support devices such as
a headset/mic?
