I always carry my iPod Touch with me so I can listen to podcasts.  With the Touch, I also have the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic with me.  These are not the most durable headphones and perhaps aren’t the best sound quality but they are definitely the best match to the iPod Touch because they allow me to control the iPod while it’s in my pocket.  I can stop/play, adjust the volume, etc right from the little 3-button mic/remote.

Since I always have them with me, I decided to see if they would work on my new EVO.  Do they work?  Sure, sort of.  There is a thread on Android Forums that goes into detail about specific functions of the headphones working or not.  But my findings are that the mic and headphones DO in fact work.  The middle button for start/play/hangup also seems to work.  The plus and minus button do not seem to work for me.  Lastly, I found that the volume is way too quiet for me to use these headphones as a headset in the car on the freeway.  I listen to my iPod in the same situation all the time with no trouble but when plugging them into my EVO, I couldn’t hear the other caller well at all.

Update 7/13/2010: My previous iPod headphones find kicked the bucket and I opened up a new pair.  I can now hear the other caller perfectly.  They work just fine for this application so I can wholeheartedly recommend them.  If you carry both devices in your pocket, the iPod headphones are a no brainer.
