Apple headset

I'm using an apple headset. It's really good!

I tried to hold the '+' button and connect to the phone, It really works! The middle button of the headset works fine with walkman...Volume button and the microphone doesn't seems to work, but it's ok for me. :)

theres two versions for the bose headset with the mic, one is for iphone, and one for other phones
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cholek3:
My observations:

- My wife's iPhone 3GS headset (4 pins) - nothing happens with phone, not even showing it is/it is not supported. FM radio says I need to connect headset in order to play.

- Normal, cheap headphones with no mic (3 pins) - connects, play, FM radio works.

- X10 headset (4 pins) - phone says not supported, not supprised, as this is OMTP vs new CTIA standard.

What... the... eff....

How the hell do sony's not work.... like what were they thinking?!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ErichSan:
As it was stated before, the 2012 Xperia NXT Smartphones are using the CTIA standard for their headsets.

Any Sony from 2011< (can't really say all of them, but most of them compatible with 2010 & 2011 Xperias) will not work, that's expected. Not a surprise here. For example, these should not work with Xperia S, but should work with Xperia ARC S: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/accessories/livesound-hi-fi-headset/

And these, should work with Xperia S and not work with Xperia Arc S: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/accessories/smart-headset/specifications/

Just make sure you have the CTIA standard on your next headset.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Hi, would you advise it please ?

I'm not really into in-ear headsets, but wanted to get a good one to try out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] msx999:
///TIP///

Apologies if this has been posted, but if you like me have a headset with a built in mic which is not working then if you hold down the button on the mic, then insert the jack, it should work. I can confirm it works with my XS, and monster turbines.

Sometimes it's a little bit fiddly, but it definately works, if it doesn't work at first keep trying.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hololodilolo:
I'm also looking the headset for Xperia S and I've found out that the headset with volume control (including iphone headset) is not working. Finally I've found the one from Jabra (only one button like stock headset answer/end/play/pause/double click fwd/ triple click back). :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wuileng:
I'm pretty confused, I've got a Bose MIE2i headset which doesn't work at all with my phone.

The thing is that they are advertised as compatible with the iPod/iPhone with the relevant controls. Doesn't this mean that they are built to the CTIA specification?

Or does my Xperia S not like them because they have a volume up/down button?

Bose Mobile Headset (MIE2) this one should work with the xperia s in my opinion, whereas Bose Mobile Headset with iPhone Control (MIE2I) won't, don't have neither so can't test
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Booomber:
Try to reset it. I had to reset mine before it works.

You reset it by:

1. Make sure the headset is turned off.

2. Press and hold down POWER until the pairing indication appears.

3. Simultaneously press and hold down POWER and CALL button until the headset turns off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Someone can recomend me a headphone for music, mostly, and maybe calls (not needed, but as optional), at max 50 dollars. It must work on XS (of course), be in-ear and the cable have more or less 1 meter long (10 cm to less, 30 cm to more).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Booomber:
If i didn't alleready had the mw600 i would buy the the new smart wireless headset pro from Sony

Workaround

I've heard from some other forums (including the official sony forum).. that there is a workaround..

you have to press a button on the remote before you plug.. until you connect it.. it is some way to 'sync the device'. One of them install an app called headset icon... and do that and it works..

He claimed to use monster (beats) with control talk... Or something..

Please try this.. i am planning to buy a better headset.. but since i cannot test it without the headset.....

I think it is a software problem.. rather than hardware (probably the liveware manager needs to be updated..)

I cannot post link yet... but you can search it in the sonymobile forum.

Just search for the post. keyword:headphone problem xperia s. it should be on the top of the list..

*the post that says that they solved the problem is way on the bottom...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
Wow, that worked. Ok, here's what you have to do. Take the plug out of the phone (or not, work both ways), press and hold "play/pause" button on the headset, then insert it and continue pressing down for 5 seconds. Then play some music!

You have to do this every time though. Tested and working on (fake) Beats w/control talk. :D

The app did nothing.

Yeah. I tested yesterday in the store.. Beats Headset works!

Just follow the instruction. (without the software). If the headset control doesn't work. Try the jays headset controller from the market. It works worth any headset with one button. And works with controltalk (the middle button).

I'll get my hand on a BOSE today. Hope it works

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eddyedwards007:
My standard earphones that came with the phone suddenly went faulty on me while I was out listening to music, they just went really quiet. One was more quiet than the other. I did notice before this that I was having trouble with the connection on the top of the phone. I rebooted the phone to see if that helped without any luck. I had fears that it must be the connection on top of the phone and I'd have to send it back, but when I got back home I tried two other pairs of phones and they worked fine, music was nice and loud again. So it must just be the earphones. Anyone else had problems?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] seanicca:
Not really used the bog standard supplied ones. I've just got the jays one + and quality is great, shame they don't do white but they'll do for now. I've got the app from market but not got time (work calling) to try and play with it yet.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] necrohiero:
Hmm.. Your problem seemed like to be the problem with the old livesound headset.. Which one came with your phone? The one that came with main is this MH650c..

If yours is the one with flat cable.. Then it is the smart headset (new livesound headset with new standard for xperia s)... There's a probability that the same problem stayed with the new ones..

The problem is that the usually one side of the headset gone nearly mute when you brought it to colder or damper environment.

If this is true... Then Sony really is slow to react to complaints.. =.=

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sixdaysandy:
The only gripe I have about the aJays One+ is that the cable is particularly noisy, and as you don't get a shirt clip there's quite a lot of noise if you move about a lot. If you can get a clip to anchor the same cables against your collar then they are pretty great. Audio quality isn't quite as level as my Senheisser CX95's, but for the price they are superb, the remote app works a treat as well :-)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] necrohiero:
FYI.

The jays headset software works for any CTIA headset in xperia s. Even for any iPhone's headset and old control talk from beats.

The thing is; only middle button works.

The new control talk (for example from the beats headsets that come with HTC Sensation XE Beats edition) do not need the software, and all 3 buttons work.

Source: I tried it myself.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
I don't understand how if the Sony uses CTIA standard, why headphones made for the iPhone won't work. I have been using a Sony headset with iPhone buttons on my HTC hero for years now and had no issues. Will they not work on the Xperia S?

Also can someone upload pictures of the headset included in the Xperia S box. I have not been able to find pictures of them in any reviews.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

The Sony headset I have been using that is for iPhone has never worked properly with my HTC Hero anyways. The middle button works but no other ones do. I don't Understand how this one will not work. Someone stated earlier that their iPhone headset doesn't work, but that is cause Apple official headsets are almost proprietary. Has anyone tried a non-Apple iphone headset?

So I've been using the Ue triple.fi 10 for about a week now. They obviously work, as all headphones without mic work, but it seems to me the XS has some trouble driving these, perhaps due to the high impedance?

Sound quality is amazing, but i actually had to lower the gain on the amp quite a bit (using Mixzing) to get good sound quality. The end result is that maximum volume is quite low.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blackhawk1:
Yeah. I clamped down my sennheiser mm70i + button and loctited it stuck down. Now I dont have to press it to plug anymore. But only middle button works.

Howver, Jay headset control app free from the market allow me to skip and change volume with one button anyway.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mdrowe:
After reading this thread I thought I would play it safe and get the Sony Smart Headset (MH1c). Problem is the answer call/skip track function isn't working.

Volume up/down and the smart key work fine, but all the other button does is make the transparent strip light up!

I've tried it with the Jays control app and with that I can use the single button to do the volume, but still not skip tracks.

I've also tried holding down buttons while plugging it in with no luck.

Has anybody else experianced this, or got any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] necrohiero:
Well.. what i notice is that either i got lower volume or the bass gone out somewhere..

Don't get me wrong: the sound quality is nice.. but on some headset.. the volume is just way too low.

By the way.. i can tell you that every CTIA headset works.. atleast: every CTIA headset that i tried.. I'll sum it up

Ultimate ears 5vi

Beats (that come with HTC Sensation XE).. without additional software

Beats Headset (I think it was HD).. with controltalk (Only middle button works).. With workaround

Bose MIE2i (only middle button, have to set it up with workaround)

2 or 3 other headsets.. (one was apple).. all with workaround
