I've tested with the following devices:
Sennheiser HD 218 Headphones
Razr Carcharias Headphones
Speedlink PC Speakers
It just outputs sound from the phone. Why is this?
Maybe your 3.5mm plug is broken. If you still have warranty go to you're service centre and have it checked/fixed

I think there is no reason for those headsets to not function.
Are there any headphones you have tried, and was working?
you didn't accidentally set media volume to mute?
Have you already tested it with SE's original headphones too?
Did you root your device and removed some applications?
Maybe plug and play monitoring service removed...
Sorry for the late reply guys, I went on holiday after this thread and sort of forgot about it. Turns out the case I have on my Arc wasn't letting the 3.5mm jack go in the whole way, even though it looked like it did.

Hi guys
I would know if there is solution for boost the audio with headphone connected at the phone
thanks
To me this is a major flaw of the defy so far. I can hardly listen to my music when I am walking outside and I really don't understand why the volume is so weak when using the headphone
get better headphones?
Hi, I'm using the Sennheiser CX 200 Street II (excellent price for the quality) and I never use more than half of the volume. So, good inear pieces (those with rubber tips) might help
PS: Please don't tell me you're using the stock headset! They might work for one or two calls but not for enjoying music.
PPS: Does anyone know a compatible headset adapter? I mean one with a built-in mic that allows you to use your own headphones without the need of a soldering iron
As far as I noticed with my girlfriend's ipod touch, she can use my headphones to make skype calls. I can only suspect that they work the other way around. (her headphones are far but I might use someone elses iphone headphones tomorrow)

The iPod/iPhone Headset works, as I read several times. Unfortunately, you can't use your own headphones with that headset. Know what I mean? I'm looking for something that provides a mic and a 3,5mm jack for headphones
€: Finally, found what I was looking for: http://cgi.ebay.de/e12i-Stereo-Head...812849?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f064f7f31 I hope the quality is not so poor.
I use the music app Poweramp. Apart from being the most comprehensive music app there is, it also has a built in software amplifier to boost volume. I highly recommend it, definitley an app worth paying for.

One of these days (I'll have to go buy a 3.5mm socket) I'm planning to give an old Nokia 3.5mm set of headphones a new life. I only have to study how the mic/button work (might be some different resistors involved).
I'll get back with a how to after I'm done.
Anyone try the ZaggSmartbuds for www.zagg.com they have a 3.5mm jack, inline mic, inline volume control(analog). i normally use my SD9-HD bluetooth headset when listening to music but sometimes I prefered to be wired. Have been considering the Zaggs real hard.
But exist some head phone with mic and noise reduction function all in one?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Well... the ZAGGsmartbuds, the iPhone inears, the bose headset, the V-Moda Vibe
II w/mic...
I have found this
http://cgi.ebay.it/ZAGG-SMARTBUDS-N...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item5d2d8b12e4
but I have read in the footer ad there is wrote this:
"Some non-US smartphones, such as the Samsung i9000, have a unique jack configuration that requires an adapter for use with the ZAGGsmartbuds."
So, for My Motorola Defy (France) could be some problem with this headphone??
thank's guys
We might have a different cable configuration at the jack, but we'll never know, if no one tries
PS: I'll tell you if the headset adapter that I ordered via eBay works for the european Defy and how it works.
I was more thinking of some kind of software solution to amplify/unlock the Defy's volume (I guess it is limited for health reasons).
The ones I found on the market just don't work.
I do not intend to buy a new headset as I use it 5-10 minutes a day at most.
Try the poweramp music player. It offers a graphic equalizer and the opportunity to amplify the volume. Remember: too much amplification results in bad sound.
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..

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!

Any kind of headphones with a Talk Controller or microphone will not work with Sony Ericsson devices. Sony did something to the AUX port and its connections are inverted or something. I read a while back when i bought my pair of Dr.Dre beats.
I just got my LiveSound Headset and it does the same thing on my Asus Transformer like the DreBeats did on my Sony Ericsson. Great set of headphones Much better then Dr.Dre Beats and cheaper too.
I solved the problem.i sold my arc s and i bought galaxy s 2.Now i'm very happy with my phone and headphones.
Thanks for reply @rsingh612

WoW what a solution
iPhone+BlackBerry and SE+Nokia are using different standards for pin-outs on headphone jacks, so you have to change either headset, or headphones..
i hate all those companies for doing this kind of thing to us

I think I'm going to tosh around a few hundred bucks for a new phone, because I don't like Arc's default ringtones.

Is it so hard to use the Standard SE cable with mic/switch and plug in whatever headphones to that? For crying out loud! That's what I do and EVERY single pair of headphones that had issues does not do it if you plug them in that way! For now though, I found some nice ear buds that were for the xperia pure, I use them with the standard cable and the sound quality is fantastic.
There is a APK somewhere in SYSTEM folder that detects the unsupported headphone have someone tried to delete it and test it? Atleast we can get the headphones to work
Would this problem also occur when using my own headphones? (original iBeats, not from htc)
try to find a neutral stereo plug, they're included in marshal or urbanears headphone

make an adapter... every manufacture only invert, and change the position
(download electrodroid from market, theres many port mapping)
re-route using adapter
sorry for bad english
There is a software solution for this?
say, a modding or something?
or just selling the same S Arc? lol
thank you
u can try to modify hardware
I ordered an MH1 LiveSound Headset in white for 19.99GBP and 1.99GBP shipping off eBay yesterday and they came today. The flat anti tangle cable is way better than the iBeats cable & the mic/control unit is a better quality than the iBeats, the sound quality is way better than the stock black headset that comes in the box of the Arc S and I would say it's on a par with the Audio quality of the iBeats. I've got the LiveKey set up to launch Play Music via LiveKey Launchee that's available in the Play Store, I might set it up to control Track ID or FM Radio as the Music Control feature on the LiveView kind of makes it obsolete, as there is no propper Music Control on the MH1s other than Volume & Play/Pause using the middle button.
I chose the white MH1s only on the grounds that they go nicely with my white Arc S. I tried using the white headset that came with my X8 but the sound was really poor compared with the black headset that comes with the Arc S.

I know it's a long shot, but has anyone tested any Etymotic mic headphones for arc?
I want to buy new headphones with slim design that's why I wouldn't buy the livesound.
My original arc headphones broke after months of use now.

Hello,
I know this comes late for you, but they don`t work on Arc. I tried them with the original player and PlayerPro, but the text "the device isn`t supported" appears on the screen. I did at some point manage to get some muffled sound out of the etymotics when I fiddled with the plug.
Could it be possible to make them work with some kind of adaptor between the hp jack and the jack input?

you could open the mic and switch the cables. because sony has ground on the mic!
So coming from from Sony Ericsson x10 previously and having only used the stock earphones supplied with my galaxy nexus I have a question I was hoping someone may be able to answer.
On my x10 Sony used some kind of non standard 3.5mm jack for headphones and it had this issue where certain headphones would not play music properly unless the mic button was presed or other wise perminently held into the pressed position, something to do with rings on the 3.5mm jack. Headphones advertised for iPhones or blackberry would not work unless the mic button was pressed perminatly but if the button was pressed then audio play back would be fine.
So my question is does anyone know if this issue is present or not on galaxy nexus?

Yeah I have the same prob with my Xperia mini headphones,if the mic button is pressed they work good,if not they sound like a bad FM station but with my big jvc PC headphones it sounds great. I think its something software related or maybe the wires are different.

The nexus supports the mobile headset standard which includes mic and single button. So any set like bose MIE2 will work. But i bet your sony headset will give the same problem then...
