Earphone compatibility - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When i used to have the Sony stock ROM some earphones that i bought weren't compatible with the phone, but since now im using a custom ROM CM7.2 i plugged in my earphones and all the sound was going through the ear pieces.. but when i started listening to music the sounds were sketchy and misplaced and lyrics sounded different.
Is their anyway to make my earphones compatible with my phone?

Its compatible with sony earphones only i guess i also tried samsungs bt it shows only no sound was there so try to buy sonys

Are these headphones or headsets? (headset is with mic).
Most headsets aren't compatible with the Sony Ericsson jack, though headphones should work fine

For headsets you mostly need Nokia adapter..

earphones... if you didnt read the title, the sounds goes through the earpieces but when i listen to music it scrambles and sounds are different

That's unusual. A regular headphone/earphone should have no problems no matter what phone. Have you tried with another pair?
This normally happens with incompatible headsets i.e. with in-line mics.

Yeh iv used the SE ones which work fine, but my ones that iv bought work but the sounds are messed up etc. and have no in-mic line

Exec headphones

I've got a problem with headphones. When i plug in original headphones that was in pack with XDA Exec sound is good but when I plug in headphones from my MP3 player sound is bad and doesn't have bass and treble is too strong then. How to force normal headphones to work fine?
Try with another headphones, perhaps they have some damage

Do your normal headphones work fine with your mp3-player??
Yes, everything is good. Same as on sound card on my computer. Maybe I'll try use another but must borrow from friend because I tested on two I had in my home and effect was same on both.
I think it has to do with the quality of headphones you are using. Some, especially cheap ones, have tendency to 'lose' some sounds and accentuate wrong sounds which leads to distortion. I don't think the original headphones are that amazing, but it is possible that your mp3 ones are even worse.
Another thing is the program you use to play your music....
you succeed through earphones give voice commands?

Headphones

Hello!
Thread especially made for headphone segment of the Xperia X8.
Also if you need help with picking a headphones for your phone post here,
i'll help if i can.
P.S.Sennheiser CX500 G4ME arriving in 2weeks so i'll pop a review and comparison beetwen the stock one and these.
I just got my X8 today and tried using it with my aftermarket iPhone ones and found they didn't work at all.
It works with the included headphones of course, but they're not very good (they don't even hold in my ears very well, which is a worry when I'm hoping to use them while running or cycling) and it works with ordinary (no microphone) 3.5mm headphones.
The plug of the iPhone headphones looks similar to the one of the Sony headphones but for some reason the X8 completely ignores them, it doesn't even send sound to the earphones let alone take microphone input.
Meanwhile, the Sony ones work on my iPod but they're extremely quiet.
Can someone confirm that this is in fact true generally, not just for my (two pairs of) iPhone headphones which I tried?
Is there any way I can get iPhone headphones to work with it (desirable because these earphones are easy to find and buy, relatively cheap and with wide choice) or do I have to stick with special Sony ones?
A major reason behind me getting my new phone was that I was sick of the crap Nokia pulled with my old phone requiring proprietary headphones with their connector. It's nice that the X8 works with standard non-microphone 3.5mm earphones, but what's the deal with microphone ones?
I use this nokia headphones for my xperia. Mic works as well as call button. All other nokia headphones with volume control won't work!
Xperia has unique jack for headphones with music controls...and I hate them for that! Original ones for music player are too expensive
I use the same ones as they're great for skype!
I1m using sennheiser HD 518 and they are great !!
Stock X8 headphones are sh%t.
Previously, I had a SE W810i Walkman and I must say, that hearing to the music (with stock headphones) was a real pleasure - very close to iPhone IMO.
So, when I bought X8, I was truly unsatisfied.
Then I decided to buy OEM SE MH810 stereo - AFAIK it comes with Xperia X10 mini Pro. That was a good choice - quite goood sound quality and I can control music player app (volume up/down, next/previous, play/pause).
I bought the mh810 and i use them while cycling.
The headphones are excellent. Its a shame they don't work on the big x10
I got mine for £12 off ebay
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Has anyone tried something like this - bluetooth stereo headphones?
i used to use blue-tooth stereo headphones on my mobile previously but a different model from those. i found there was quite high battery drain, but that might have been just my phone..

Confirmed. SE stock does not work with IPods, well you could make it work by pulling the connector out a little. It's due to the speaker part of the connector is differently recognized by SE and Apple. My apple headphones broke down a long time ago so can't test.
OEM SE headphones that come out of the box with W810i work pretty well, but the wire is short.

[Q] headphone sound odd

My xperia play works fine. The sound from the speakers is good but when i connect the sony earphones that came with the phone the sound is very odd. Partly too quiet, partly some arrangements missing from the songs, difficult to describe - but anyway: not as it should be!
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?
And on a different note: what kind of plug is the headphone? I wanted to try different headphones, but it appears its not the standard (?) 3,5mm plug. (as it always says "Das Zubehör wird nicht unterstützt" - this accessory is not supported)
I have a rooted (locked bootloader) 2.3.3 xperia play.
No idea what's going on. I always plug in my Audio Technica M50 headphones in my Play and they work like a charm! It should be standard 3,5mm because that's what I use. I know some people have problems with headphones and android phones in general. Don't know what causes it.
I've never actually used the sony headphones that came with my phone. I just use a pair of skull candy headphones and the sound is perfect. I would suggest trying a different pair of headphones with your phone and see if you still encounter the same problem.
yeah, i just tried using the headphones on my pc and there the sound is bad as well. But still, other headphones i tried with my phone didnt work at all (sennheiser, some headsets).
I just ordered another set of headphones with sony ericsson branding (for just 3,50€), maybe those actually work well.
It doesn't work with earphones with mic..
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Does any1 know if you can use headphones with a mic and play pause button? I just got skullcandy heads phones with the play/pause/mic and I was bummed out at the poor sound quality, but the other ones work fine is it hardware?
Although I guess no-one is interested, just wanted to say that my problem has been solved.
I sent my xperia play in and it was repaired, it appears it was a hardware problem. Now i dont have any problems with any earphones i tried anymore!

[Q] ION earphones w/ mic

Ok so I saw this from the Xperia S board
Splinter153 said:
Hi Guys
So after painstakingly reading through every message in this thread to ensure I do not paste a duplicate answer, I can inform you I have found the true problem regarding headphones.
Straight from the words of a Sony technician:
The cause of the incompatibility: Sony Xperia S supply 2V (Volts) purely from an energy consumption perspective. The microphone in the boundled Sony Mobile headset is Electret microphones that only require a 2V feed. For other suppliers (e.g. IPhones headsets) they can use MEMS microphones that require a minimum of 2,7V.
In order for fully compatibility, Sony smartphones need to supply a minimum of 2,7V. This requires a feature/HW change.
A feature/HW change has been submitted to be implemented in coming products.
So moral of the story is, Sony screwed us all...

Does this mean I can't use a mic similar to my X10? I tried using them earlier and I now know they dont work with my ION because Sony went with the CTIA format. So what do you guys use for a mic? I'm wanting to use a mic similar to the one that came with the X10, by that I mean I want to be able to plug in any earphones I want with the mic since earphones eventually break with one side not working. Thanks.
I'll check the ones I have. I have a set I got from my dell streak and the ones from my xperia s.

thanks because I use google hangouts with friends but the ion isn't exactly loud, even with xloud on
May not be exactly what you're looking for but I use Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds with the mic.
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/headphones/earphones-and-earbuds/inkd
I've used these for probably the last 2 years, great sound quality, full refund too if they stop working, only thing I've had happen to mine were one of the buds stops working. Pretty durable for the price, I've only broken 1 pair from skateboarding/biking. Also most stores will carry them for $15 instead of $25 like listed on the site.
Tried the generic ones I got with my Dell Streak and they worked....gotta find my Xperia S headphones to try.
I think you should try out the Sony LiveSound Hi-Fi Headset, it cost a little bit of money but it sounds awesome! Comes with an in-line mic with built-in remote.
I personally use the Sony MW600 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, no wires extending to your phone in your pocket. just a short earbud wire that wraps around your neck. you can also disconnect the supplied wire and use a 3mm wire to plug into a stereo or your car's aux so you're completely hands free and the sound comes out of car's speakers.
Both of these are available on the Sony mobile online store, probably sold cheaper on amazon.
so the ION does support earphone's with mic and you guys have all tried out the mic ? sry for this question, I got my phone from best buy and so it didn't come with the earphones. Instead I've been using my earphones from my X10 and with the ION using the new standard and with the quote from my first post I was thinking that the ION didn't support the mic in earphone combo
I used the HTC buds that come with some of there WP7 devices. Worked like a charm.

From what I read, the LiveSound headset doesn't fully work on the 2012 Xperia phones. There's another pair called Smart headset that are fully compatible with the ion. They're basically the same set other than that.
I just ordered the MW600 headset, the design reminded me alot of the old Sony MiniDisc Walkman remotes. Seems really slick.
I have the Smart wireless headset pro MW1. They work great and the audio quality is awesome for music and calls.
I just didn't want to buy a pair that the ion wouldn't support, but I'll have to look and see which to get. I wan't the skullcandy ink'd 2 pair but idk if they'll work. time for some more research

I'd recommend just getting another pair of Samsung headphones (others with the same jack will not work )
I've used BT headphones successfully - I had a Jabra stereo headset but I much prefer the simplicity of wires at the end of the day - no need to worry about running out of charge etc.
Does anybody know why other brands (and even other Samsung headsets) will not work with the Apollo?
Now that I've give this phone to my mum, I've warned her not to lose the OEM headphones!!! :cyclops:
Edit:
I should have said if you want a working headset w mic others will not work - I think that you can use headphones only...but then if you get a call the mic on the phone is cut out and they can't hear you speak. It's a bloody nuisance!
Thank you all for suggestions, I bought sound magic es18... they have really hifi output... Really happy with them... I forgot to update here sorry.
