jQuery.ajax({

    url: yourAjaxUrl,

    // 'xhr' option overrides jQuery's default
    // factory for the XMLHttpRequest object.
    // Use either in global settings or individual call as shown here.
    xhr: function() {
        // Get new xhr object using default factory
        var xhr = jQuery.ajaxSettings.xhr();
        // Copy the browser's native setRequestHeader method
        var setRequestHeader = xhr.setRequestHeader;
        // Replace with a wrapper
        xhr.setRequestHeader = function(name, value) {
            // Ignore the X-Requested-With header
            if (name == 'X-Requested-With') return;
            // Otherwise call the native setRequestHeader method
            // Note: setRequestHeader requires its 'this' to be the xhr object,
            // which is what 'this' is here when executed.
            setRequestHeader.call(this, name, value);
        }
        // pass it on to jQuery
        return xhr;
    },

    success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
        // response from request without X-Requested-With header!
    }

    // etc...

});
