Recommendations for a head set for a HTC Wildfire S handset

Hi Folks

I own a HTC Wildfire S handset. However, the head set which came with it doesn't seem to be that good. Whenever I put it on to listen to the radio, for example, there is a lot of interference on most, if not all, the stations. I haven't even been using the headset for long!

Is this interference normal? If not, how can I stop/reduce this interfernce? Would it worth buying an alternative headset?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

    If it is a corded headset I wouldn't blame it for the interference.

    And don't expect a good quality from a mobile's FM radio that doesn't even have a proper antenna and uses the headset wires instead.

    In my small town I was able to listen only one local station with a more or less decent quality. Finally I abandoned this and switched to MP3s.
