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.

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

Yeah...
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
technobaboy. com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1059.jpg
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.

OMG my Apple In-Ear is not working with the new Xperia S.

I read somewhere that Sony have changed it so that it's the same as most devices like Apple and Blackberry so it should work.
Maybe your ones are broken.

I read the same article too!
I try my apple in ear with my friends iPhone and I works perfectly. :-(
Tested OEM apple headphones, doesn't work
Tested Seinhauser headphones, doesn't work
Tested OEM Samsung GSII headphones, works....
I've had it, sending mine back. First the retailer doesn't supply the hdmi as advertised, then I have to deal with "some" headphones work issues.
No thanks.
No offense but why would you want to use Apple headphones? They are some of the worst headphones on the planet.
Yeah, I don't understand why you'd want to use apple headphones, you can buy a lot better headphones for so low... try some audio technica ones if you are in a budget. Apple standard ones distort everything so much...
If you are asking me, my sennheiser are my primary headphones, they were around $100 and just plain rock. With the same standard, they "should" work.
I shouldn't need to buy new headphones because Sony can't play nice with the "standard"

Hello sfai05,
I have got exactly the same problem as you describe .
Did you already manage to fix this? Or do you know what the problem is?
I am looking forward to your response. If I solve the problem myself I will post it here (sadly I'm not very technical minded; maybe that's why I bought those Apple- In-Ear plugs ).
Good luck man.
Armstrong
PS I cannot imagine that there is not a solution to this. Sony cannot be that retarded can they? :S
Sorry for un-burying this topic but I just got an Idea.
Theres some workarounds here to modify some iphone headseats to work perfectly with xperia S.
But in those you have to open the microphone housing and solder some wires and add resistors.
Shouldnt it be possible to just add an extension headset cable which you open and change the wirings and maybe add some resistors?
So pissed, Bought some Pioneer headphones with a compatible with Iphone cable, wont work on my new Xperia S grrrr..
This says it should work??

the play is an excellent music player. matter of fact, it's very quiet in the unwanted noise department.
i am a professional producer and musician and have used $600 "big" head phones just fine.
My Sennheiser HD 25 ii sounds awesome on the Xperia Play but make sure you have a decent music player, such as Poweramp
Hello guys
I have an Xperia S and I think that its sound on headphones are low, I tried a lot of Xperia S and I still thinking the same...
but is no problem to me, i really love that phone.
But... I want to know if the sound in Z1 is louder or loud as XS, cuz maybe i'll buy one...
ps: I create this thread here because you guys know very well the XS, and some have tried Z1 too.
Thanks!
Maybe your headphones are weak. Since the original didn't work with my phone I got from LG Optimus L5 original headphones and it's amazing! It's really loud. I'm using the latest stock ROM with xLoud enabled.
Try out with different headphones.
Cheers!
Remember that Xperia Z1 is entirely sealed due to its waterproof capability, so I heard somewhere its sound is a bit lower, but still in good quality!

Xs sound are low When compared with outher phones, if i plug the same headphone on Motorola droid razr (of my brother), and Iphone5(from friend)
Both Razr and Iphone get a louder sound on headphone.
I love the sound of XS because it got a fu*king tasty sound equalizer, you can see XS Never drive an Annoying sound to you ear.
But are a little bit low.
@Lucianofca
It applies only to the speaker, not to headphones, thx.
