If you haven't bought the headphones yet you might want to pop 
for the ATH-M40fs.  Many users think they are better than the 
Sennheiser HD280.

You could just plug a mono 1/8" jack into the stereo line-in.  
The mike will be on the left channel (tip) and the jack shaft will 
ground the normal right channel (ring) input.  By using the dual 
mono to stereo, the right channel line-in is connected to an 
"antenna" that could cause some noise (but it probably shouldn't 
be a problem).
