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.

Just ordered one from ebay
i use headphones from Galaxy S and i like what i hear , the stock headphones are kinda mizerable.
hi i use my xperia x8 with bluetooth headphone hbh-ds205 and everthing work fine for me
wait till w8 comes and buy the head phone which is bundled with it... simple
hi guys,
Just wonder if anyone can suggest what would be the best android mobile to play music and having a decent camera and of course a normal battery life ( if possible ) ?? lets say middle range not the newest ones that cost a fortune
thanks,
I believe the Defy is a pretty good phone for music (haven't tested many phone though). Nice, full frequency response and pretty wide sound stage. Better than the average notebook.
Sent from my Moto Defy
oh alright i didnt even know becasue never used my phone to listen music haahha just to test different roms
thanks for reply
any other suggestions ??
...
IMHO I never trust the speakers when listening to music.
If you ask me what phone best for listening, I will tell you "Get a normal phone, uses a good android mp3 player, and buy the BEST EARPIECE/headphone"
That's better.
sorry guys, but iPhone 4 id the best phone for music. I had ipod touch before defy, and you can't compare these two when it comes to music over headset, and the problem isn't in the headset

I agree with you... iPhone4 or iPod are the best in sound quality no matter how we don`t love apple.
also... Android EQ sucks!!! currenty on CM7 and miss Motorola`s audio effect settings which I think that were very good. I can`t get proper sound on my headset no matter what DSP or audio app with EQ i use
thanks guys for the interest,
thats what I thought too, to get an ipod and a decent mobile but its not for me and we all no how hard is to explain women technology (no offence to any of course lmao ) she just wants all the goodies in one device. Iphone 4 would be perfect for a girl that wont play with a software as much as we do but it cost too much so its a no no.
has anyone came across xperia arc? or xperia ray? Ray is the one she wants but because ..." it s beautiful " .....I think not LOL
I ve read lots of reviews about different phones but unfortunately some of those reviews were worth f*** all, they said that our defy if well worst then that silly ray and we all now that its not true
sony would be my next pick for music. don't know how it sounds from first hand.
buy her a iphone 3gs, its beautiful and it's an iphone but lower price than 4g
i was thinking about that but some people who had 3Gs said that even 3G was better lol anyway im not the boggest fan of apple, to be honest i think all their mobiles are well overpriced and me after entering andorid world i would go for anything else
there is another one HTC desire HD with sound blast or something like that but you cant trust those reviews really and Ijust wonder if anyone here can clear the situation
xperia arc , experia ray or HTC deisre HD or ????
...just realized taht we are on a dev forum for probably every single mobile so I could have asked in a particular section but I know that everyone would say that their phones are the best though.
for listening to music, defy sucks big time
the only good thing is the speaker that is ok loud, but listening to any of headseats it sounds terrible, the best sound I got was through cm7 custom rom, but it wasn't even close to ipod/iphone
yes, I agree the speaker is quite alright dont know about the headphone cos never tested it lol

Dunno about sound quality of overpiced Apple products, but the sound quality of the Defy is quite good actually. I use PowerAMP to play lossless FLAC audio files on my Defy using a Sennheisser MM 500 Bleutooth stereo headset.
I totally agree: Defy sounds good. But you can't judge a phone without specifying the headphones (HeadDirect RE0 in my case)
As a simple player I recommend Sandisk Clip+. Simple, small, cheap and with great sound. Everybody says it is one of the best portable players around.
Have a nice day!
Sent from my Moto Defy
thanks for all suggestions I might even consider getting proper headset for defy
will have a look on that clip+ too but im sure she will choose some silly phone and regret after 6 mothns lol
anyway thanks again........
I'm using Defy for music. Im very satisfied. Using Meelectronics M9P earphones, mp3 with high bitrates and the quality is impressive (for my standards).
I'm planning to try this earphones in IhatePhone to see what is the difference...
Try a Samsung galaxy s with voodoo sound. I don't think even the s2 sounds as good.

I'm quite an Audiophile, I cant for my life stand low quality music / crappy headphones.
The ones included with the defy are not _THAT_ bad, they actually have some decent bass, but any noise around you will destroy any good sound they can put out.
I got myself this baby: AKG 830 BT
Its the most amazing headphone I have used.
You can NOT use these phones on the Defy with Stock rom, or any other Bluetooth Headphones for that matter, the sound quality is total crap. All Stock roms have a "bit pool rate" rather low so it works with more Headphones but the sound is horrible.
You gotta get CM7 and not use any kind of EQ or "sound enhancer", all these "enhancers" actually deteriorate the sound quality and distort the music.
All in all the sound quality on the Defy is really good, the most important thing is to get a good earphones/headphones.
Choose Defy + because has a larger battery than old Defy , more power, more miusic
You can also buy cheap Defy, and also buy new batery from Defy+ 1700mAh (but it still have problem with batery module in the old ROM..
Buying old Defy watch out for models with factory defects as incorruptible speaker.
Hi guy, Am planning to get new headphones for myself..i do have beats monster in ear but dont like them much..
bcoz they lack the bass effect which i enjoyed on my previous walkman phones..
My question is if i buy sony ericcson headphone will it work on HOX..??
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I also forgot to mention that when i tried my beats headphone with my friends SE Live with Walkman they were not working and same happened when i tried his headphones on my HOX..not working in the sense the sound was not clear sound..tittered sound effect was coming
am planning to buy these http://www.sonymobile.com/in/products/accessories/livesound-hi-fi-headset/

Almost certain all 3.5mm headphone/earphones work with the HOX

As long as its a normal 3.5mm jack audio port. Which most headphones today are, they will almost certainly work.
Hey there,
Iam looking for a mod or software to enhance music, like xloud or beats audio or megabass ported from other brands,the bass is bad in this device won't you agree? Back when i had a ZTE Blade, there were loads of these available in flashable zips ! Powermp3 or n7player dont make the real difference forget about the dolby enhancement :thumb down:
Thanks in advance :good:
I use this one myself, sounds absolute amazing with my Bose earplugs with the "rock" preset!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Mine keep running in the background, and it then auto detects when I play music from fx. Spotify
Thanks, downloading ! Lately I was using TTPod, Its quite good give it a try and could u express the difference b/w the original LG and the BOSE earbuds ??
The difference? Its the Bose MIE2, ugly like h***, but the sound and specially the bass is amazing!
And cant really tell in specs whats the difference is, but the sound experience between the original from LG and this one is HUGE!
You should really visit the local store and check 'em out
Check neutron music player. And don't forget to enable 64 bits in settings. Sound quality is audiophile when using this program.
I'm using headphones Sennheiser px-200 II.

Thank you gentlemen I think I will buy Neutron player....looking forward to other members to express their thoughts
I think u should buy new headphones instead of music player.
No problems with bass at all.
If u like mega bass, try the Beats headphones, they got nothing but only mega bass lol
BTW LG Quadbeat is absolute trash imho

Absolutely right.. i use mine with poweramp and jvc xx earbuds and the bass kicks.. and I listen to drum and bass 90% of the time.. no need for software enhancement, just get good earbuds.
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda app-developers app
Poweramp, ttpod and n7 all have their own bass enhancements, but with a system mod which i experienced in zte blade, music quality gets totally overhauled.....like something totally different and well..... the best news is, my cooompletely undamaged and cared lg earbud got tired of me and one side got busted... out of the blue, hah ! way to go for dear quadbeat ! Guess i'm compelled to buy a new pair of ear buds ....
LG Quadbeat earphones bundled with E975 are worst than ****.
Seriously no bass at all...
Phone, PC, Notebook - checked with everything and they are crap.
Just trolling, cause I'm furious with LG for it.
I usually have a second, old phone that I root, install viper4android on and then use primarily as my music player as I like to play with really good bass. Ideally I would buy the G7 to be my one and only phone where I can get really good bass as well as good sound. I have high end Sony Bluetooth earphones so I know they are ready to produce good, bassy sound in that respect. Does anyone have experiences of the sound quality and manipulation of the equaliser and sound effects on the G7 that they can share? Thanks in advance
The wired audio is really great. Bluetooth audio was also good when I used it, there's no reason you won't get the same type of sound you've had with other Bluetooth connections; there's nothing inherently wrong with the connection on the G7. As for an equalizer, you're going to be better off downloading a different music player. It'll definitely give you what you're looking for. But for the best audio, you're going to want some wired headphones!
Edit: tried out the equalizer a little more, I think it's really good. This is the best audio I've seen on a phone since the HTC m10 easily. It's great.

The sound is amazing. Nice and rich. Great bass. And that's with Bluetooth earbuds. I can only imagine how great it must sound with a good pair of wired headphones. Especially if they have their own drivers.
