I'm wondering if Sony MDR-NC31EM would work with HTC One? (noise cancellation function, mic etc.)
I notice that Sony's website mentions about 5-pole audio connector:
5-pole audio connector. Functionality may vary between devices.
Note: MDR-NC31EM will not work with devices that do not have a 5-pole audio connector.

Maybe it only works with Sony Xperia Z2?
Thanks!
HTC One has a 4 pole plug. On those Sonys TR1R2 match a standard 4 pole*, but R3 overlaps with Sleeve which will send it to ground. They'll work fine, just not with noise cancellation.
(*within enough tolerance that each circuit won't short another out)

Is there such a thing as a mini-USB to 3.5 mm 4 pole adapter that works for the HTC Touch? I want to use a 3.5 mm headset with it.
sure
expensys and most other online stores like it got them coming out their rear end

The same one that comes with Touch Pro should work.
Thanks for your suggestions, but is there something that is a bit more compact? Something like this but with 4 poles instead of 3: http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Adapter-PPC6800-Verizon-T-Mobile/dp/B0016D9URO

I have been looking for a 3.5mm headset (not headphones, the ones with in-line mic and the extra terminal), but none of them seem to work with the mic. I have one I got for my hermes a while back that has three inputs - HTC USB, proper mini usb and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Very cool for using with desktop speakers and charging or syncing at the same time, but no use if you are trying to use a 3.5mm headset socket from a Nokia.
However, I just found one on ebay that does seem to work with 3.5mm headsets. Ordered one from the US for £9 all-in, although there are some in the UK for £15+pnp. Search for "HTC Headset Adapter" and they come up.
One comment about these: HTC has started making 10-pin mini-USBs. The bottom row of pins are still used for communicating with activesync, but the top row is now for the audio and mic. Traditional 5-pin mini-USBs do not have the top row; hence they'll only work for activesync and not audio functions.
So if you buy a 3.5mm adapter, make sure it is 10-pin and not 5!
does anybody know of a software solution like an app or some other hack to make the earphone jack on the Arc S compatible with aftermarket earphones having a inline mic?
background --
The headphone jack on the Arc S is different from those found on motorola, iphone or HTC phones. The four connectors have the same configuration for the left and right audio channel but the connections for mic, ground are interchanged. 99% of the earphones with inline mic available in the market are made to the iphone specs and hence are not compatible with SE arc s. I have these ones and these, but when i plug them into the phone it just says "accessory not supported" .
I had the same problem with my last phone samsung wave which also has the flipped ground/mic connectors. The earphone that came with that phone also work on the arc.
There are cables available that fix this problem -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005I0GHV8 (I have bought this one)
http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r2m-r3f.htm
galaxy s users can use an alternative voodoo sound driver to mke the earphones compatible without the need for additional adapter cable.
can something similar be done for Arc S? , (I have bought one of those adapter cables but it sucks to have it dangling from the phone all the time)
base on my experienced, you can try this.
SE supply the wired Handfree kits right? along the kit got
1. stereo jack with mic inline (you should notice the jack has 4 metal/copper connection to be plug in to the phone)
2. in the middle have mic and an answer button + another Stereo jack receiver,
3. after that, then you will have a bit short wire stereo earphone with a stereo jacks but without the mic inline wire (you should notice the jack has only 3 metal/copper connection)
you should connect your wire input device to the stereo jack after the mic, because after the mic only the circuit will only supply sound output voltage (+ left, + right & -ve for both earphone)
...i am sorry for my bad English
goodluck

@putrabiru
you seem to have misunderstood the problem
earphones that don't have a mic in them(3 rings on the jack) already work fine if connected directly to the phone.
I am looking for a way to make earphones with inbuilt mic(4 rings on the jack) work with the arc without an additional piece of wire between the phone and the earphone jack.
So i am basically looking for a way to make the phone treat the mic and ground connectors opposite to how they are set up by default. This will definitely require a kind of mod to the system files of android or the drivers. I've even read about other users of samsung phones who opted to physically replace the headphone jack unit on their phones with standard configuration ones!
Sony should have kept the configuration the same as how most earphone manufacturers make them.
Sony actually uses the agreed OMTP standard for mobile headsets. The reason for all these problems is nothing other than the recent popularity of crApple.
Just get a cheap OMTP adapter off ebay. You should be able to find one by searching for something like "Motorola headset adapter" etc.
As Paul stated, Sony Ericsson actually followed the standard, Apple did not. I would suggest to look for an adapter if you want to use "iPhone compatible" headsets.

Try to plug only the first 3 pin leave out the last it works for me
I brought the AT&T version of the Glide and it didn't come with a wired headset. I've tried a headset for a Galaxy S, but the buttons didn't work. Could anyone with the Rogers headset ( I think it comes with one) share the model number, or if anyone else has a working let me know where I can source one?
Thanks!
I have the headset in my hand that you are mentioning but I do not see any model number anywhere to help you out. All I see is a Samsung logo on each ear piece as well as a Large L or R. On the Wire where it splits from 1 to 2 wires (1 for each ear) there is a small Made in China written on it. No other writing can be seen.
Damn, thanks anyway

Good idea except it is slightly more expensive....Depends on the person's budget.
i think you can get a sony one for under 50 dollars torugh ebay. and its prety good. and the model that i have i can exgane the ear plug it self to other earphones.

Interesting I did not know that the PLAY and Forward/Revers works from a Wired headset. That is good to know.
Thanks.
I bought these Samsung earbuds and use them along with Jays Headset Control from the Play store. Thanks to the app the one answer button can handle all music controls and even initiate voice actions.
Here are some from Samsung:
http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-ehs60-35mm-stereo-headset/11A29A9345.htm
Didn't tried them, but since they're said to be made for the Captivate Glide, they should work.
Finally got around to grabbing the HTC ones and they're working fine. Audio quality is half decent too.
Desire headset isn't working on calls for me. I hear fine but the other side says the sound is terrible.
Hope this helps
Samsung galaxy one and newer Samsung phones use two different 3.5 mm jack
The newer jack like on gs2&3 are more standards. The remote doesn't work because on gs1 it's wired different.
As of today
Samsung
Htc
Sony (not Sony Ericsson)
Use the same Standards 3.5mm jack
So of buy a htc ear headphone it work on all 3 companies
( i don't know about other companies)
The model no of the headset that comes with captivate glide rogers is GH59-10419E.
Any mention of headset in the glide manual talks about micro USB.
(Drowning in google search results, most of which don't apply [Why do they assume if you want an adapter you want a crappy / cheap earbud headset too?]. So posting here to start from a list of those who have a glide and specific experience!)
Messages here seem to indicate that standard 3 connector, 2.5mm cordless phone headsets work. Can anyone confirm?
(I tried a friend's 3.5mm headset, got audio, but only for media not for anything else, per playing with settings / audio. It also has an additional doohickey / adapter where the headphones plug into a mic adapter, which in turn plugs into the 3.5mm jack instead of the headphones, directly - when using that not even media came through.)
(And even when audio came through, the navigator voice didn't come through, as it did not on a bluetooth headset. I can't hear the navigator across the car - how to get it to play to a headset?)
Source of a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter known to work?
Or 2.5mm to micro usb adapter?
Let alone, pc headset, 2 x 3.5mm, to micro usb adapter?
Thanks for any pointers / good search terms to known good working beasties, drowning in search results.
I need yet another crappy headset like I need ... druther just use one I already know and like and adapt it to the glide.
I'm guessing an adapter would need buttons on it for talk (and / or volume?).
I see on amazon there's a straight micro usb to 3.5mm adapter however I suspect it would be audio only (yes?), and worried that since it's a solid doohickey, not two ends separated by wire, that some end would get easily broken.
Advice, thoughts, experiences?
Ok so I saw this from the Xperia S board

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
Sonys included one adapter that works with all headphones that fit in 3.5 jack and with all noise canceling heaphones with 3.5 jack, if you order third party product like i did check for what you need and buy, cause i ordered second 3.5 jack adapter which work with normal headphones and gear and in car aux but does not work with sonys noise canceling headphones like MDR-NC31EM whoch i own and tested this.
So included one works across the board
Third party adapter you better check ?
I've got the NC750 earphones but the noise cancelling does not work.
I've tried to order a jack/charging adapter (EC270) and ended up with fake one (DOA, and also advertised as "OEM" version so no box etc.). Visually OK, but working only when USB-C inserted one side (mono sound) and when reversed, just the left channel working.
Then I tried 3rd party (made by UGREEN) and this one seems to work, but only when connected to the phone with headphones already plugged-in, and when connecting just the adapter alone the phone is reporting that the auto-discovery feature of the USB-C port has been stopped due to connected equipment malfunction.
And now I have also ordered an EC270 from Amazon, from the seller which looks like official SONY store. It's pricey, but I expect it to work flawlessly.
EDIT : EC270 from Amazon arrived, and it's perfect. Packed in a box and working like expected.
EC270 is an analog jack (the ones that don't have DAC inside). Therefore you'd see a different behavior upon using other jacks (most of them are digital/ has DAC inside)

EC270 support jack 5 pole or Noise cancelling
Like NC31 NC750 or NW750,although the noise cancelling does not function in the XZ2 but at least get the sound right and the left,the mic also works well, while in the other models do not support jack 5 pole
