List of compatibility?

In my case is not that the headset that comes with in the box is not good...the problem is that they are always falling from my ear...I tried the 3 sizes rubbers and it's all the same! I just need traditional headset...no rubber thingy...

So I bought the Sony Ericsson HPM-60JS and when I connect it to the XPS it says "Unsupported Hardware". I will return it ASAP but now I can't find a traditional Headset (no rubber) with the stop/play/etc button that is compatible with XPS (and my ear)...

Is there a list of compatibility for XPS?

Bought it from this store:

http://www.telecomtelecom.nl/headse...-headset-met-smartkey-control-mh1c-black-bulk

Maybe more people will buy it. But i dont know if they ship international.

Just 35 euros, but its bulk edition, thats why its cheaper.

They will arrive tomorrow.. We will see..

i've got it for 1 month.

sound is OK but only when they are deep in ear canal.

there is no chance for them to stay in ears canal - the cable is inflexible so every move makes headphones go out from the ears canal

the pilot is too close to the ears - every touch makes headphones go out from the ears canal, too

so perfect for bus etc but not for sport or even walking :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
i'm using the headset given with the phone but yesterday it started to act strange: i plug in the headset, start to play audio, and then the audio is played on the loudspeaker... could this be a software or a hardware issue?

thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Efe64:
I got them yesterday. Cant make a review or something.

It needs to play for like 30 40 hours for ful quality.

Use the clip, that would work ;)

Anyone know if the Marshall Minor FX work? I read earlier in this thread that it does, however it has the 3 button remote which doesn't seem to work with the Xperia S. The Marshall Minor has the one button remote which could work.

Getting a headset for this phone shouldn't be so difficult :(

I tried to use the given in the pleanes but phone says is not compatible ans the one from my sister's GS2 sound actually nice but the club, stereo and concert modes doesn't work what can I DO which one can I buy a Sony one would work?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] redragon95:
Does anyone have an idea why the hell my Beats Studio's don't work with the Xperia S? They sound pretty good but when you move the jack just a tiny bit the headphones get disconnected and i have to unplug and replug again. It's the same thing with both ControlTalk cable and the standard one, and I know it's not my headphones because I use them with my pc and ipod without any problems
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Splinter153:
Problem Found

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...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bustervic:
What the eff... "implemented in coming products"

Are you kidding...

It pisses me off more because of the replies I got from Sony blaming the headset type etc. Such BS.

I am looking at buying a bluetooth headset so I don't have to deal with that bs, I think the least they can do is offer a discount on a sony b/t headset for those affected.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
So basically which headphone works????
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rynegod:
Thanks Sony, if this is true the Xperia S is the last phone I'll buy from you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Velnica:
Normal no-mic earphones should work

Most no-mic headphones will work, as long as it's a low consumption one

From the sound of it big monster-amp type headphones will have compatibility issues

For headphones with mic, there is a trick you can use to make them work: Press the mic button for a few second, then plug the headphone in (while still pressing down). This should make the headphone work but the mic is still unusable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
How can i Check if it works? Ive tried the GS2 one and it sounds louder but concert club and stereo features didn't work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Jesus that is not a good story. Hopefully it is only a software change and not a hardware one. I wonder if the other phones such as Xperia P and Ion suffer from the same issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] summay:
i have tried the original headphone from Samsung Galaxy S3, with 3 buttons (one button for hang up/pick up call, 2 buttons for volumn +/-), and it works perfectly in Xperia S.

To change a track, just double/triple tap the call button. I am considering buying one if it is not expensive.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
Wo will a beats headset work? Or an iPhone headset?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wincoop:
I have Beats Solo HD headphones and they do work, you have to hold down the button (as you plug them in) for a few seconds, after that the buttons no longer work for anything so you have to swipe your phone to answer a call and end a call, You can talk and be heard and hear perfectly.

The Beats Solo comes with 2 cables that plug in on the left ear muff, one has talk control on the other is a standard cable that will work with anything.

I have these Creative ep-630 earbuds I bought 5 years ago, and they are AWESOME: http://www.itpurchase.in/prod_details.php?p1=Headphones&p2=4000&p3=Creative_EP-630

Way better than stock earbuds, has great volume, crazy bass and excellent quality.

Beforehand I used them with my N73 Music Edition and the sound quality was top.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stero!:
Agree. I have Beats solo too and they work perfectly! there's a mod for beats audio too ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:

http://beatsbydre.com/products/Products.aspx?pid=B5097&cat=2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wincoop:
Yes they are Beats Solo HD, Sorry my mistake.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
And when you hold down the button while pluging in when you get a call you can't no longer speak via headphone microphone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900i:
I know its good but can say anything a bit cheaper.....and good ??(no Beats pls) :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
I want to know this too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900i:
k900 told sehneiser is good.....but there is no control in it :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wincoop:
You hold down the button whilst plugging headphone in for a few seconds only then you can listen to you music on your phone, if you receive a call you have to answer by swiping your phone as the switches on the Beats Solo HD don't work but the microphone does and to end a call you have to use your phone.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stero!:
I'm sure only for AKG... So, for me it works... Pioneer idk, i dont have that model :)

However, i prefer AKG, more sound quality and stronger... Obviously, beats are better... Only Bose, maybe, are better than beats audio ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] summay:
does the buttons on AKG work fine? or do you need to hold the volumn (-) button when you plugin the phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stero!:
I don't need press button, it works fine for me ;-)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] summay:
thanks, not sure if I can find it in the shop, but it looks good to me
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] blakwhite:
Can you write the exact names of the models that you tested successfully?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
So basically every headset will work right away or via holding volume down while plugin right?

Xperia S and Logitech Ultimate Ears UE600VI with 3-button control.

Surfed around and found that many post all around stated that by pressing the button on the headset while inserting the contact into the phone would make the phone recognize the headset and thus allowing fo complete compatibility...

Tried with the play/pause button and no, it didn't work, but then I thought why not try one of the other buttons??

Tested with the "volume up" while inserting the contact.

Xperia S didn't actually say anything, while normally saying that microphone/buttons will not work...

Started Spotify and tested... Voila! It works! Play/pause, next song, previous song, click+hold=volume up, doubleclick+hold=volume down...

Happy to say the least!!

Update:

As many other have previously said, the microphone does NOT work and while getting the play/pause work together with the JAYS Headset App, the mic in Xperia S is also off.

So when receiving a call I can answer via the headset answerbutton but I have to remove the headset before I talk :-(

My MW600 was working great. Sound is the best Bluetooth quality I have had. Unfortunately now I have updated to ICS song titles are no longer showing up. Anyone else experienced this? I'm guessing the Bluetooth driver must be old?

What's the sound like compared to wired? I'm hoping to get this the new sony one is like £75 this one is much cheaper.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] creepingcreep:
I honestly cant tell the difference when i use the same headset plugged into the phone or the mw600. Good all round sound. Just the lack of track names is a real pain. I guess the new headset will work fine. Stupid Sony!!

How to make mic on klipsch im s4i work

Hi bros,

I have a headset klipsch im s4i and I really like it's sound. The matter of making it compatible with my xperia S made me headache. I can use control button if I holding the button while I put it to the phone jack, but the mic doesn't work. When receiving a call, I can hear my voice on the headphone but people on the line cannot hear me.

I'm thinking about mod my headphone by replacing it 3.5mm jack. But i'm still afraid that the volt supply from xperia S is just only 2 volt as a bro talked in this thread.

Could you please give me any idea to deal with my combo? Of course, I know klipsch has a model s4a for android. Anyone tried it with xperia S? Are there any change for me with model s4i?

Thank you so much :D

Just ordered the Sony Ericsson Smart Headset MH1C wired version.

Will report back once I get to test it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
I have had the Xperia MH1C Smart Wireless headset pro for about a week now, so I will do a mini review.

Pros

Wireless- Works pretty well, bluetooth can skip every once in a while, but it is so rare it doesn't bother me at all. It connects really easily and auto pairs great.

Micro SD slot- I love this feature as I bike alot and would rather take a small device then lug around my phone.

Package Contents- You get a charger, microsd reader, headphones, micro usb cord, 2gb card, and the device itself for 100 bucks. Considering a decent microsd reader costs 15-20 dollars it is a pretty good deal.

Headphones- I have always liked Sony's headphones and have used them for years. These are no exception, the bass is clear and the treble is not too loud. You can't even begin to compare cheap headphones like the Skull Candys to these. I don't believe in spending a ton on earbud headphones and these fell right in the price range for what I want. They fit great even with my smaller ear canals. People have complained about the cord being stiff, but I think it's a great step forward. My problem has always been tearing the cord or getting it really tangled. This cord will be hard as hell to tear as it is really tough. Also it feels really good. My trick for wearing them is to use the supplied clip on the longer right earbud cord and attach the clip to the rear collar of my shirt. This makes it impossible to pull the right earbud out when turning your head. I have played golf and ridden my bike with them and had no issues whatsoever.

Looks- Some people might think it is ugly but I think it looks great. Similar to the Xperia S.

Battery Life- The device easily lasts a week for me

Software works good- no problem with the additional features

Cons

SD Card playback sucks. Sometimes it will recognize the whole album and sometimes it won't. It is also kind of slow when going through songs, but not too bad. Also sometimes it won't return to the previous track when using the button, the left button does play/pause instead.

Gmail App for it will destroy your battery, it really eats battery life.

Size- The device could be a bit smaller, but for the sound quality and features it is acceptable

Needs a carrying case, Sony should have included one for the price

The clip is sturdy but it would be nice if it rotated as well.

Should have come with a lanyard but I was able to find an old one I had laying around and use that with it. It is an iRiver lanyard and works really good.

Headphones now working in some normal fashion

Hi Guys. I can confirm that after waiting a month longer than the rest of the world for the ICS update, the phone now detects unsupported headsets and disables the buttons and mic, allowing you to listen to music without the workaround.

If you use the workaround now, you will have functionality of the middle button only, with the mic and volume buttons still out of commission.

Using apps from the Play store will allow you to load custom shortcuts to the single working button
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Good to know even though I use bluetooth headphones now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Nepythys:
So I just got the Sony Smart Headset MH1C, the wired one.

The sound is pretty loud with deep bass and pretty high sound quality.

The cable is really tangle-free no matter what I do with it, like put it in my pocket, make it like a ball or whatever, with 2 moves it's ready to go again. There are 4 buttons on it which are pretty close to the left side near my mouth. Underneath them is the microphone. Call quality is good as usual. The buttons are Play/Pause, Volume up and down and the Smartkey which can be assigned to launch any app you want via the Liveware manager. There were also 8 pairs of earbuds in the package. 4 white (more like transparent) and 4 orange in all different sizes. A clip is also included.

That's all, a pretty good buy I got to say considering the full compatibility with the phone and the amazing sound quality.

Cost me 50 Euros. If anybody has any questions or wants a photo or anything, feel free to ask.

My phone battery completly died so when i got home i attempted to charge it and it went straight into bootloader mode. All of my buttons are working so i dont think my volume key is stuck, but when i select any of the options in bootloader it just goes back to the previous screen.

Everything had been running as normal til now, i have no custom ROM's and nothing has recently been installed or updated.

Any help would be appreciated!
