My Xperia M Dual's original headphones work with the phone,but my Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman's headphones don't work on my Xperia M Dual,can anyone explain why & how to get it working on my phone?
The mic and ground pins of the headphone is swapped, that's why they don't work.
You can use a proper 4-pin to 3-pin adapter to eliminate the mic, which of course the mic will not work, or you can find an adapter which exchanges the ground and mic pin (don't know if there is one).
The connection of the Xperia M should be the same as most (if not all) Xperia 2012 devices, as well as Apple ones.
Xperia 2011 range headset using OMTP technology, Xperia 2012 and newer using CTIA technology, so both headset will not compatible.
To use LWW headset in XMD phone, try using Fiio LU1 adapter
try to click the button of your headshet when you connect it to your phone...with some headshets work
If u prefer DIY just change wire connection in your headphone and solder it. I did it and using a nokia hdphne in xperia m.

This is a hardware difference, old Xperia headphones are OMTP but any Xperia released after late 2012 will work only with CTIA headphones, restoring device won't change anything

I got headphones with my Xperia M dual too...
sorry for bumping into old thread.
secondly, i am not buy-in any logic provided above. i had the same problem earlier. original stock firmware 4.1 supports all headsets. but post updating to 4.2, suddenly headsets stops working except the original (bundled), even sony MDR-zx310 was not working. i am using sennheiser CX275s from last 6 months without any issue on my XMS (4.3). this is the only working headset, rest not headset/headphone is not supporting.

Please Be Aware that No 3rd Party Headset with Mic will work with Xperia X-10.
Its another crap decision from sony ericsson to not to follow industry standards in 3.5mm Jack Channel design
Kind of old news. Might find some suggestions in this THREAD.

The mics don't work, unless you buy one made for the phone...
i used my nokia headset and dr. drey beats and they are working find.
but off course nokia mic will not work.
Hey Guys,
wasn't sure to put this in accessories or here.
So I know that the Apple jack layout is proprietary to their headphones.
Just got my new Xperia Play, and , as expected they only work if you press down the mic button.
Is there anyway (via app ect)to map the software to output to the apple Jack layout?

for a quick fix just tape the Mic button down or use the ones that came with xperia play there pretty good in my opinion

Hi Guys
So after painstakingly reading through every message in this thread to ensure I do not paste a duplicate answer, I can inform you I have found the true problem regarding headphones.
Straight from the words of a Sony technician:
The cause of the incompatibility: Sony Xperia S supply 2V (Volts) purely from an energy consumption perspective. The microphone in the boundled Sony Mobile headset is Electret microphones that only require a 2V feed. For other suppliers (e.g. IPhones headsets) they can use MEMS microphones that require a minimum of 2,7V.
In order for fully compatibility, Sony smartphones need to supply a minimum of 2,7V. This requires a feature/HW change.
A feature/HW change has been submitted to be implemented in coming products.
So moral of the story is, Sony screwed us all...

Does this mean I can't use a mic similar to my X10? I tried using them earlier and I now know they dont work with my ION because Sony went with the CTIA format. So what do you guys use for a mic? I'm wanting to use a mic similar to the one that came with the X10, by that I mean I want to be able to plug in any earphones I want with the mic since earphones eventually break with one side not working. Thanks.
I'll check the ones I have. I have a set I got from my dell streak and the ones from my xperia s.

thanks because I use google hangouts with friends but the ion isn't exactly loud, even with xloud on
May not be exactly what you're looking for but I use Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds with the mic.
http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/headphones/earphones-and-earbuds/inkd
I've used these for probably the last 2 years, great sound quality, full refund too if they stop working, only thing I've had happen to mine were one of the buds stops working. Pretty durable for the price, I've only broken 1 pair from skateboarding/biking. Also most stores will carry them for $15 instead of $25 like listed on the site.
Tried the generic ones I got with my Dell Streak and they worked....gotta find my Xperia S headphones to try.
I think you should try out the Sony LiveSound Hi-Fi Headset, it cost a little bit of money but it sounds awesome! Comes with an in-line mic with built-in remote.
I personally use the Sony MW600 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, no wires extending to your phone in your pocket. just a short earbud wire that wraps around your neck. you can also disconnect the supplied wire and use a 3mm wire to plug into a stereo or your car's aux so you're completely hands free and the sound comes out of car's speakers.
Both of these are available on the Sony mobile online store, probably sold cheaper on amazon.
so the ION does support earphone's with mic and you guys have all tried out the mic ? sry for this question, I got my phone from best buy and so it didn't come with the earphones. Instead I've been using my earphones from my X10 and with the ION using the new standard and with the quote from my first post I was thinking that the ION didn't support the mic in earphone combo
I used the HTC buds that come with some of there WP7 devices. Worked like a charm.

From what I read, the LiveSound headset doesn't fully work on the 2012 Xperia phones. There's another pair called Smart headset that are fully compatible with the ion. They're basically the same set other than that.
I just ordered the MW600 headset, the design reminded me alot of the old Sony MiniDisc Walkman remotes. Seems really slick.
I have the Smart wireless headset pro MW1. They work great and the audio quality is awesome for music and calls.
I just didn't want to buy a pair that the ion wouldn't support, but I'll have to look and see which to get. I wan't the skullcandy ink'd 2 pair but idk if they'll work. time for some more research
Ear buds are not working on my Xperia arc. They work fine on the computer. I installed this app and it works ok but the quality seems to be lower (compared to when I listen to the same thing on the computer). Is there any alternatives or patches that don't require me loading an app each time I plugin my ear buds?

If it's a headset then the jack is wrong. Sony Ericsson used a different jack than Apple which is why the mic will not work.
Look at this thread for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428228&highlight=headset
Hold the mic button and test it. Before plugging in

you must hold the call button in your headset. Pretty annoying, but works, even on new sony devices, htc, blackberry... (iPhone auto-detect which headset type automatically, magic!)
OMTP vs CTIA headsets
Hey there,
just to avoid confusion... see my comment over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39623224&postcount=10937
Xperia 2011 devices follow the OMTP standard.
Use headset for OMTP accordingly.
While Xperia 2012 will follow the CTIA from now on.
