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.

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!

Man u realy should check out some cheep china bt headsets. Motorola cant dream of making some thing which is more small. And at low price. A2dp may not be present. But u can make calls. Here in india we have those. About 200 inr. Ie less than 5$!!!

Can anyone recommend a decent bluetooth headset that works well with the Desire HD?

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.

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

in box headset

the headset is good but i want to use it with my ipod, the problem is the sound isn't clear when i use it with an ipod. why is this so? is SE made it exclusive for SE phones only?
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
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.

Connected the adapter to my ipod touch then plugged in the headset I got with my arc s (mh650) and they work perfectly, very loud and great quality.
Hope this helps.

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

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.

Sound

Has anyone else noticed the sound through headset or bluetooth is very quiet. Anyway to boost it?
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
BT sound is quite ok for me, Speaker sound could be a bit louder, yes. Perhaps the soundboost-mod for Xperia Z could work on the Z1C too? As it also runs on a qualcomm-chip, the chances are pretty good.

Yes, I'm currently using mine with the Jabra Clipper bluetooth transmitter, but I have to almost max the volume on it and on the phone as well to get my normal volume.
Quite weird.
Headphone output is subjectively good. Significantly better than that of the Tablet Z anyway.
It's able to drive my Beyerdynamic DT150 (250 ohm) headphones at above listening volume without any notable hiss or distortion, though they're of course bass anaemic due to the lack of a proper headphone amp.
I suspect 'normal' impedance headphones will be driven at very good quality.
The loudspeaker is mediocre overall. It's about as good as the i9000 with voodoo sound speaker hacks on, so not terrible, but it's certainly no HTC One
i find the sound quality through my sound magic E10's very good but yes i agree the volume is very low, almost as if its finding them to hard to drive. Ive not tried the supplied headphones yet to compare and see if the quality of phones makes the difference.
The supplied IEMs are actually brilliant compared to what phone manufacturers usually provide, easily £30 worth of sound quality
Is the bluetooth which is the worst of the lot. Really low and flat

Coming from the lg g2 this is a huge bump in audio volume in every way. BT, loudspeaker, headphones are all exceptionally louder. The HTC one still has it beat for loudspeaker and headphones though.

I asked sony centre about the sound as well and emailed support. The guys in the shop told me that they do it purposely to sell sent blue tooth stuff.
Support told me that I had to update my device. I told them it's on the latest. So they told me it's the apps fault. Told them to stick there half arsed device and returned it.

The sound effect settings are something that Sony has baked in to Android so it's sort of obvious these settings only work with apps that support them.
For me the default sound isn't as good with my £35 Sennheiser's as my S3 was, however the earbuds that came out of the Z1c box are pretty amazing with punchy bass using Google Play Music.
