Very Bad sound quality on headphones w/ mic

I have a very strange problem, that I'm sure is software related. I have a set of headphones, that have a built in mic for handsfree calling (klipsch image s2 w/ mic).

Now the problem is that when I listen to music, the quality is horrible, with tiny, or nonexistant vocals, unless I hold down the talk button on the mic (headphone mic), at which point it sounds great, but goes back to sounding like crap as soon as I let go of the talk button. So far the only media players I've tried are mediascape, double twist, and meridian. All of them suffer from this.

My current solution has been to use the clip on the headphones to hold the talk button down. Anyone have a better solution?
