[Q] What is the best headphone+mic headset? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As title states, I have a Jawbone Icon HD headset which I really like but I would also like to get a good pair of earbud+mic that doesnt require the adapter. Can anyone who owns the original earbuds the XP came with detail the model # and or a mice alternative?
I have seriously purchased like 3 pairs of earbuds+mic only to be disappointed, mostly because I have to use the adapter or I get the "device not supported" notification.
Any suggestions on alternatives and the model # on the stock earbuds+mic that our phone came with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Anyone?

Or you could use basically any headphones with this adapter. I bought it myself, and it works with all headphones with a microphone/play-pause button.

Basically OMPT is the type of headphone jack that is in the XPlay. So if you got OMPT headphones, you won't need to use the adapter. Why don't you want to use the adapter? lol. Personally, I haven't owned any OMPT headphones, but I heard from a few friends that the XPlay's stock headphones are pretty decent.
If you still are going to buy standard headphones w/ mic, to use with the adapter, I'd go for these. I've owned them for more than 6 months, and they are probably the best. In terms of sound, mic, and build quality.

Cup holder car mount?

Hey guys,
basically what I would love to find is something to place into my car cupholder that would hold my phone while allowing both the usb power / and 3.5mm audio jack to be plugged in. I don't need a mount as such, anyway to hold it whilst allowing the cables to be plugged in would suffice.
I love to using the audio jack straight into the stereo, it works wonderfully as a makeshift handsfree. Please let me know of any ideas or possible modifications I could make to existing products to make this work. T
Thanks!!!
Would this work? It says you can connect cords through the base.
$6.95
It doesn't show as much of the screen as I would like but it does look like a very good option....I'd give a shot, one problem is no postage to Thailand.
Thanks though

Well a mount might work, if it was cheaper. This one is for iPhone so I'd be worried about it fitting. It's not a universal type mount is it?

Have you every did a proper controlled test to find out? The proprietary cable just make it harder to find and is made of a lousier quality material than what my Xplay came with. Have a couple of these usb cables at home and it exposes the insides easily.

yea, but the usb can slide to the right and u will have room for the 3.5mm plug. i think.
Does the micro usb rotate 180°? I have a couple of devices and want to know if they all could sit in the dock and not be facing backwards

Apple EarPods

Hi all,
I'm planning on getting some Apple EarPods for my Nexus 4. I can take calls and other things using the remote. I'm not too sure on the fitting though, should be ok.
Part no. MD827ZM/A
But, my main concern is that I might need some buds/covers/tips for them.
Does anyone have a pair of Apple EarPods along with buds/covers/tips what ever you want to call them, usually provided with regular earphones. Picture added below.

I really need to know if the regular buds/covers/tips will fit the Apple EarPod.
Please let me know, many thanks.
not working
I'm using my iphone earphones for my music, but it's not possible to use the volume buttons so you need to change the volume with your mobile phone.
This headset is only compatible with Apple devices, so if you're looking for new earphones, please buy android compatible ones!

I too use my old iPhone 5 earbuds with my new Galaxy S4. I like the fit and feel of them better. It's a drag that the volume doesn't work, but I live with it. Sorry I can not help you with covers for them, I do not use any on mine.

[Q] Apple Earpods aren't detected on CM 10

Hey guys, i've just bought the Apple Earpods and after trying them on my iPod Touch 4g, I tried them on my phone. They weren't detected. I looked for info about it and in this forum I saw that i had to download soundabout. I did, but Earpods aren't still detected. Does anyone have an idea of this problem ? Thank you all !
It's blindingly obvious. You can't use Apple earphones with Android devices because they were made for Apple devices. These earphones will contain hardware that can only be used with Apple devices. No matter what program you use, you won't get the same experience from it as compared to using it with an Apple device.

Looks like Earpod is not supported by Sony phones, not a software issue. Incompatible headset notification appeared on Sony stock Rom. But, when I tested it on my friend's Samsung Galaxy Note 2, it worked.

It's not an Android's problem because I tried them on my bro's phone and they worked.
Isn't there any solution then ?
I believe Arc uses OMTP audio jack
Will earpods are TSSP (like most other phones)
U can find OMTP to TSSP adapters/converters online
Sent from my LT18i
It's not a software thing, it's hardware related.
It's the 3.5mm jack itself. The 2011 xperia phones are made with OMTP standard jacks. But most of the new headsets are made on the CTIA standard.
The difference is the switched ground and microphone place of connection.

As you see it on this picture.
You could buy a adapter or cut the cable and switch the connections yourself (not recommended )
Altough, any headset WITHOUT a microphone will work on both devices
