I'm not sure if the Nokia 5200 is like my Nokia 1208, but...
I know my 1208 will only accept genuine Nokia headsets/headphones. I tried hooking up several non-Nokia headsets, and there's a message that comes on the screen that says "Enhancement not supported", and then it cuts out. How my 1208 knows it's not a genuine Nokia headset is anyone's guess.
I bought a genuine Nokia HS-40 headset for my 1208, and it works fine.
I would say chances are that your 5200 is like my 1208. Nokia only wants you to use Nokia branded headphones, and generic ones will not work.

The Nokia phones use a slightly different headset than most other phones. They use the the same size plug, but it's different somehow.
When my brother got his Nokia 5300 from Rogers it came with an adapter to use regular headphones to listen to music, so perhaps the Nokia 5200 will as well, since it is almost the same phone.
