i had same problem with my ipod but with nokia headset and i figured out problem was ipod 3.5mm port .
if you see a 3.5mm headset jacket you see 3 black line and for some reason ipod has problem with some headset jacks .
but headphones has 2 black line in 3.5mm jacks and ipod havn't problem with them .

the problem has been discussed here before. SE reversed mic and ground connection.
you can hold the mic button down to hear it proper. yeah the headset seems to work with SE phones only.

There is an adapter you can use which will allow this to work. Sometimes it is provided with the Xperia Play and is called the EC250 headset adapter.
THis is intended for you to use non sony ericsson headsets with your phone however this works on my ipod touch so i can use my LiveSound headset.

sorry to bump an old thread but i just got a sony xperia s and my in car adaptor wont work through my stereo so i need the ec250 adaptor but cant find one anywhere any help?

I'm also trying to get ahold of one of these EC250 adapters. I have an Xperia Play and just bought a nice Klipsch S4A headset and it won't work without the adapter. Dang you Sony Ericsson making headsets proprietary.

I'm looking for one to. I bought an HTC OEM Beats Audio headset off eBay for my Wildfire S not long before I got my Arc S, & for how much the headset cost me I'd like to be able to use it with my Arc S, & eBay don't have them.

The white headset that comes with the X8 has poor Audio compared to the one that comes with the Arc S. SE use a proprietary wiring setup that means that only SE Headsets can be used with SE Handsets, & I assume it works the other way round due to the proprietary wiring setup.

I just wrapped a sticker around the mic button, I think this was the cheapest way for me

Small bluetooth earpiece?

Work has recently banned heaphones (Health and safety) so I am after a small bluetooth earpiece, the smaller and more discreet the better.
This Motorola is the best I have come across.
I have a bluetooth earpiece at the moment but for what ever reason it only works with calls, it can't stream music, are they all like this?
Just check that it has A2DP support, for your music needs!

Arc accessories?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any arc specific accessories besides the Sony ones. I have looked, every phone company I go to says that the arc and other erricson phones are one of their more popular phones yet I can't find anything.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
What kind of accessories are you precisely interested in? I know there are Arc specific covers (Katinkas, Krusell and more) as well as Cases (PDair) and I am sure you can find much more. Try some of the online stores.
I want something like a docking station with speakers.

Mini Portable Charger Dock/ Audio Stereo Speaker w/ USB Cable for iPhone
i think it must be your best choice. Simply plug-in this mini speaker to your iPhone. The music will be played with no need of the headphones. Also can be used to charge your iPhone.Volume control available.
Yea not for iPhone tho

Scullcandy headset.

I bought the Skullcandy "Smokin' Buds" headset today, and wanted to let you know that they work fine with the Ion. O only bring this up because I have had two different set not work with the Ion.
As fas as the sound goes, just fine for a $30 set of headphones. I didn't realize until after I bought them, but there is no volume controls, only play/stop. If that matters to you.

Any ear phones apart from xperia with built-in mic will not work on xperia , be it iphone or skull candy etc. Normal ear phone means without built-in mic works perfectly well be it any brand.

Uneven sound output in earphones

Hello,
I bought senheizer earphones to use with my s3. However it seems that the left side gives a reduced sound. I would not have not noticed but sometimes the sound in that ear piece increases. Hence I noticed. Also I checked my earphones with other sound output devices and have confirmed that the earphone are working fine.
I read somewhere that the 3.5 mm jack is an exact fit. Which might cause a connection issue. If that is correct can someone suggest a solution. If that's not the case is there a defect with my phone?
This same problem occurs less frequently with original Samsung earphones.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with my OMX adidas sennheiser headphones and I was able to resolve the issue by purchasing an external control or an apple trrs to android trrs connector. Heres an article why there are problems...

You can double check this issue by plugging in the Factory Headphones that came with the phone(TRRS) ( do not use apple headphones, or beats headphones, because apple uses a different wiring for TRRS Jacks).
heres some options for you. If you know how to solder, you can find diagrams with this link
http://tech.gluga.com/2011/03/earphones-with-integrated-mics-and.html
heres the cables you can buy to convert it

Also, you can check Radioshack or Best Buy. They sell an extension to add controls to any headset, which will convert your TRS to TRRS, if its an android compatible headset. Good Luck!

I'm using a pair sennheiser cx 280 which has a trs connection. oddly enough ive had the left sound come and go randomly. so far it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue because i will listen to pandora and might have the issue and then when I switch to google music it will work just fine or vice versa. no amount of wiggling or replugging can reproduce the issue so it leads me to believe there might be a software issue? or im just going crazy
