 The condenser mic (electret) is usually packaged with a FET gain stage
because of the extremely high impedance (oo) of the electret element.
These assemblies usually have three wires (+, gnd, sig) and run off +3V.
Some will work on 1.5V and some only use 2 wires. Did the headset have a 
battery compartment?
