[Q] How do I know if my headphones will work with my Play? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to replace my Xperia Play headphones and I have been looking online. How do I know if they will work with my Play?
I am looking at these 3 right now. But I am open to any suggestions as long as it is around 45$ with shipping to Canada.
Sony MDR-EX210B
Sony MDR-EX77S
Altec Lansing MZX406
My ideal solution would be something that works with Play and any other future device I own. What headset would you guys recommend and also are there any cheap adaptors if I end up wanting something that wont work with the play.
Also does the Sony Livesound Hifi headset works with other non-sony devices.
Thanks so much to anyone that helps. I want to make an order soon so it ships asap so please help

As of Sony ones, see the compatibility list on their webpage.
As of any other, they most surely won't work as far as they have a buit-in mic.
Now, if you get a headset (not headphone) compatible with your Play, they will only work on SonyEricsson phones, some Nokia and some Samsung before the Galaxy S.
You can buy an adapter, but... well, see this and this.

Any headphones made for the iPhone (including controls, a mic) like the Altec ones won't work. The Sony ones should be fine.

FM Transmitter (Built In)

Basically my brother got himself a Nokia N85 the other day and i was having a play around with it and found a really awesome little program that comes with the phone. It gives you the option to transmit all of you music through a FM signal. I was wondering if there is an app to do this with my X1 or could one be made?
Thanks
No FM-transmitter in X1 so... no.
x1 got a fm receiver not a fm transmitter
or transceiver as it would be called if it both send and receive
but you can use fm transmitters with 3.5mm jack of cause it's more troublesome
That clears that up. Thanks.
you would find this on many new walkman phones and some satnavs like my tomtom 930t

The iPhone don't have FM trasmitter hardware. the software belkin to do this...never trasmitter required!

[REQ] Port SE Track-/CallerID from X10

Hello!
As some of you are aware, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 has extra functionality over other Android phones when it comes to Bluetooth. SE has many Bluetooth headsets, and quite a few of these have screens that displays that shows the caller and the song currently playing when pairing them with the X10. The technology SE uses to display this information is propetairy as far as I understand, so it will most likely not be avaliable through the regular channels.
I am therefore asking if a developer is willing to take a look at SE's Bluetooth stack in the X10's kernel sources, and try to port this functionality to the Desire/Android in general.
I know that the MW600 has the functionality that I am talking about, and I'll give a hand in sniffing data if that is nessicary.
Hope that someone finds this interesting.
Thanks,
Zappza

Looking for good BT with A2DP and AVRCP

Howdy all...
I'm looking to possibly upgrade my BT headset. Ideally I'd looking for something that will work very well for calls, but also will work for music. It MUST have A2DP and AVRCP support.
In an ideal work it would allow me to switch between true mono (both channels together) and just left channel and just right channel. But the important thing would be to have true mono.
Anyone want to make a recommendation?
best one ive found is also the cheapest the good old motorola S9 get them on ebay for 20 odd quid...
comfortable and you can run in them!

[Q] Monster ControlTalk cable & Xperia Arc compatibility?

Hi
I Own a Headset the Beats By Dr. Dre Solo HD and they come with a monster controltalk cable and I was wondering if this cable will be supported in my device an Xperia Arc as all the research that I've done seams that there is no way that this cable can be supported on the device due to a hardware incompatibility as the Xperia Arc has an OMTP Audio jack and the needed for this cable to work is the CTIA.
Can anyone confirm that this is correct? or if anyone got this cable to work (at least to answer and end calls) to let me know how to have it work on my phone.
My phone is running the stock firmware but it is rooted and the booloader is open.
P.S: I found this thread IDK if this was ever solved (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764469)

AKG K451 + android

Hi, I have read the thread about AKG Q460 and android (Headset Button Controller and Klipsch Control) but does someone have experience with the AKG K451 headphones, which has also an in-line microphone, as well as volume control?
AKG says "* Remote control and microphone supported by iPod nano (4th generation and later), iPod classic (120GB/160GB), iPod touch (2ndgeneration and later), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad and iPad 2. Remote control supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation and later). May require latest software version on device."
Can someone explain how is this working only on apples?
I się to this akg about 3y ago all work`d perfect as my new jays a jays 4 all works smooth and clear . Love this bass =) remote controle works too!
Cheers!

I'm sorry babicz99, but your post isn't clear to me, so I'll try to be more specific :
I'd like to know if the AKG K451 can work with Headset Button Controller, and if all THREE buttons in the K451 remote are supported and programmable via HBC.
For the record I have an Xperia Arc S, and I'd like to buy a K451 to go with it. But I need all three buttons to remain functional.
I've found some info here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767954 ) on Android key mapping files, but I'd like to avoid such manipulations if possible. So I hope HBC can be enough to make a K451 work as expected with an Android phone like my Arc S.
Can somebody please answer this question ? Thanks.

Also, look on Play for 'headset control app' or something to that effect. It's a paid app but worth the couple bucks.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the instructions. However, the author explains that it doesn't work on Xperia Play. Which makes me think that it won't work on my Xperia Arc S...
As for Headset Button Controller, I already know the app, I have even chatted with the developer. Unfortunately HBC can't do miracles. The problem comes from the deeper levels of the OS (Linux driver). It probably could be solved... if someone really wished to solve it.
Hi,
i've just got those headphones (akg k451) on my birthday. they sounds fantastic, i love them but microphone on headset doesn't work with my lg l9 on android i know the headphones are designed for apple devices but it was written on forums that only volume buttons don't work with android.
Please, can anyone help me? I need headset to work.
If you want these for Android then buy k452, same model but buttons work with Android.

I've got them already - they are my bday gift. I need some solution for the k451 model. I don't want to buy another headphones. The most important is to make microphone working.
I really don't know why it's not working on android. I tried it on my pc and it works.
droid uses a simple resistor ladder to differentiate button presses. İphone however is not open. Also i tried to measure iphone remote bur seemed not as simple they may have used more complex circuitry with semiconductors. But i have a nice solution for you. You can use the stock remote controller with the AKG cable. I made mine like that. Or if i was a chineese businessman i would produce replacement cables for android.
