Buy a handset and use it till you can afford a decent (not chinky) headset. Cheap, reliable handsets can be had for about 12 bucks on ebay.

Chinky=crappy made in China stuff. I've been very unimpressed with the quality of China made headsets (especially the Peltor/Sordin clones).
I mean something like this

Granted you'll need one meant for your radio, but I'm just using that as an example. I've used one of those for a good 7 months with no issues. I haven't had a problem with it "giving away my position" like most people complain about with handsets. Partly because there isn't that much radio traffic but mostly because I keep my radio where I can get it so I can adjust the volume if needs be.
