The Apple - iPod - In - Ear Headphones works with the Ipod Touch 2G. 

The Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic are engineered for superior acoustic accuracy, balance, and clarity. So you hear details you’ve been missing with other, lesser headphones. And the biggest breakthrough? They’re just $79.

The product is available at Apple Stores, Best Buy, Target and Walmart.  You can even find them online at http://www.Amazon.com.

Two is better than one!

Unlike many small headphones, each earpiece of the Apple In-Ear Headphones contains two separate high-performance drivers — a woofer to handle bass and mid-range sounds and a tweeter for high-frequency audio. These dedicated drivers help ensure accurate, detailed sound across the entire sonic spectrum. The result: you’re immersed in the music and hear details you never knew existed. Even when listening to an old favorite, you may feel like you’re hearing it for the first time.

The remote and mic are supported only by iPod nano (4th and 5th generation), iPod classic (120/160GB), iPod touch (2nd generation), and iPhone 3GS. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation). Audio is supported by all iPod models. http://www.apple.com

The smarttalk seems to have a decent recording quality and it is cheap. In general it runs around $10-$15.

Now there is also the mini microphone from ACCstation.  

* Attach this mini microphone to your iPod or iPhone for immediate voice recording capabilities
    * No battery required, just plug it into the 3.5 mm slot

Philips and Altac Lansing have similar mic's that work with the iPod touch 2g. All of these options run under $20.
