The easy fix...take those back...and get one that has a usb connection. Alternatively, you could spend the money on a PCI sound card that has 5.1 or 7.1 inputs or a 5.25 bay or 3.5 bay device that has sound/mic inputs...

Sounds like that headset is made for phones, like an iphone, etc, not a PC. Return them and get a set with separate jacks for mic & headset.
Or you could buy a splitter ... few dollars if you are willing to wait about 8-15 days from China ... See eBay HERE. You can likely buy it at Radio Shack or Best Buy but unless it is a high-end headset it will probably cost about the same for the adapter as you paid for that set.
