I saw an article on the internet that showed a stereo microphone that connects to the xperia z2 via the earphone jack. anyone know of something similar for our phone? I am really interested in finding a nice microphone that can be attatched to the z1, I am not content with what I get from just using the built in microphones.
this is what I am talking about: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/stereo-microphone-stm10/
also, will this work for the z1?

That particular microphone won't work with the Z1.
Look at the pin stripes. It has an extra contact point that the 3.5mm port of the Z1 doesn't support.
That said, any 'regular' 3.5mm microphone should work with the Xperia Z1...

I know it's a long shot, but has anyone tested any Etymotic mic headphones for arc?
I want to buy new headphones with slim design that's why I wouldn't buy the livesound.
My original arc headphones broke after months of use now.

Hello,
I know this comes late for you, but they don`t work on Arc. I tried them with the original player and PlayerPro, but the text "the device isn`t supported" appears on the screen. I did at some point manage to get some muffled sound out of the etymotics when I fiddled with the plug.
Could it be possible to make them work with some kind of adaptor between the hp jack and the jack input?

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
Hey,
I need a new headset for my Sony Xperia S. I dont want the cheap headset with comes with it because its to quiet and has only one button. The Sony Smart Headsets are too expensive.
I want a headset which is priced between the Sony Headsets which work (about 30€), which is a cable headset and has buttons (for accept call, play, pause, adjust volume, skip...) I would prefer one with 3 buttons.
I now recognized that only few headsets work with my phone so I need help.
I ordered a Sony MH1 because I thought it would work with my phone. Because it doesnt work I want to give it to the mother of my girlfriend. She uses the the Galaxy Gio. Will the Sony MH1 headset work with her phone?
Thank you in advance
Greetings

Notes
Maybe this isn't the kind of help that you're looking for, but here are some information about headsets:
This comes from: http://www.head-fi.org/t/632892/review-sony-mh1-the-best-kept-secret
Let’s begin by explaining two standards used in making the 3.5mm TRRS plug on headset – OMTP and CTIA (both are organizations for mobile standards). For OMTP, the TRRS plug is wired as [Left-Right-Mic-Ground] (from tip-to-sleeve); for CTIA, the TRRS is wired as [Left-Right-Ground-Mic].

So, the problem is in the wiring of the plug, especially on the mic part. If the connection are reversed, the mic won't work and phone may not recognize the whole as headset.
You can try to find a sort of adapter for the headset that you like (and got).
Also, is important to notice that volume control should be referred for the headset only (apart any other volume control in the phone) due to the lack of data connection between the phone and headset itself (in most headsets the button is a short circuit of mic wires)...
My best experience is with bluetooth headset (AD2P and AVRCP for music, BT-Headset for phone calls). I can control the flow of my favourite music, at the same time of the incoming (and eventually outgoing, with voice commands) calls, with same headset, and without any wires in the middle. An example of these is: MW600S here: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666492655
Thank you for your answer.
I have an TRRS adapter but it doesnt work with it either.
I didnt know the facte about the volume control. This isnt too important so it is no problem.
Will the MW600s work with my Xperia S? and does the MH1 Headset work on the Samsung Galaxy Gio?

Hello,
does the Z3 Series feature a 5 pol 3.5 jack? Did sony mention the compatibility of the microphone with the new z3 series?
Yes, Z3 & Z3C support / have a 5-pole 3.5mm jack, else I wouldn't know how e.g. the Sony MDR-NC31EM Digital Noise Cancelling headset could work (which they claim it does in the White Paper). Similarly, the Stereo-Mic STM10A should work, too.

Is there a way to use a classic (3-pole 3.5 mm jack) external stereo microphone on the Z3C ?
I already have a good one (Sony ECM-719) and would like to use it rather than buy the STM10.
Thanks
Does LG G3 supports 5pole 3.5mm headsets? (eg: Sony MDR-NC31EM)
Thank you!
I presume so, even if it doesn't go all the way in it should still have audio. I have a jack that sticks out a bit and works fine.
Works for me too.
I use the Sony MDR-NC31EM of my Xperia Z2, and have no Problem.
Even the Mic of the Headphones works!
Just talk directly into the Left(?) one

great! does the noise cancelling feature work fine? or just work like a regular headset?
Hey, I'd just like to know where did you get that cable?
