Sennheiser headset work with a cell phone?

After hours of flaming frustration that no one in the world makes around-the-ear (aka "can") headsets for cell phones (I wear hearing aids), I found that Sennheiser HMD 280 PRO cans (apparently) come with no end connector, and you are expected to wire in whatever you want. This sounds just fine by me, except that I don't know enough to be able to tell if wiring up an end connector is all that is needed for this to work well. i.e., impedences? capacitance? need an amplifier? I would like it to work "great" since the headphones are gonna cost me a lot.

Can anyone take a look at this and tell me? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I put the specs for the headset on my website. Please delete the 'X' in "goldXfinches" after you copy the link.

They also make an HMD 281 PRO which is the same thing, but with a different impedence.

Lately I have been buying cell phone earphones from the 99¢ store and modifying them for use with other kinds of equipment. (It's the cheapest source I know of for a cord with a nice molded 2.5mm right-angle stereo plug already attached.) The earphones all seem to be around 32 Ohms, so it would probably be best if you connect the two ears of your headset in series for mono cell phone use.
