I was not a fan of bluetooth headphones till i bought these. I don't notice a problem with battery life and I am much much happier not having a cord to get tangled in my pocket. Also you don't have to worry about your jack going bad. The MH1c are pretty good headphones too, they just have lower specs than the MW1a. I always get Sony headphones because I love their bass response and clarity.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
What about Sony headphones? I mean likely mdr zx300
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qtunganh:
So far I think we have been discussing abt headphone for SXS likely to enjoy music and work (has micro to answer call). Why does this lead our attention so much? For me, I want to exploit the good DAC of SXS and use different headphones to improve sound quality. If I use a Bluetooth one, the sound will out from its DAC not my SXS. If so, just going with galaxy s2 and MH1c, the sound might not so different from SXS but lots of roms cook. I'm thinking of mod my klipsch s4 with my stock headphone cable but still don't known how to do ^^
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Wrong in Bluetooth mode the Xperia s outputs the sound. when reading off the ad card it doesn't. Bluetooth acts as a bridge between the 2 so you still get the Xperia s equalizer.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] qtunganh:
Of course SXS equalizer should work in this case. The original digital sound file will be reengineered by Sony tech from SXS kernel, then the digital data will be transered to Bluetooth device and the digital to audio converter chip on it will produce the analog signal to headphone. In the first phase from XS to Bluetooth, we can mod rom to get Sony tech or beats audio tech to any other android device (I'm using beats audio mod on my XS). In the second phase, digtial to analog converting relates to hardware chip of Bluetooth not XS. The analog signal quality will depend on Bluetooth hardware. Am I right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Yes you are pretty correct. There is a new lossless bluetooth version but there are no headphones that use it and only the S3 has it right now. With the wireless headset pro you get the best of the Xperia S which is the sound software modifications. Sony does really good with the equalizer and how the system renders the sound, the DAC of the Xperia S is just a normal Snapdragon DAC like all the others. Of course they have made some changes to the reference snapdragon s3 dac but they are very minor, it's the software that gives it its edge. The wireless headset pro on the other hand, has the best DAC you can get on a mobile device: Wolfson. They are widely known to be the best DAC in mobile phones and the international galaxy S3 even features one. This way when I use the Xperia S to output the sound I get the best of both worlds. I get the awesome equalizer and software sound rendering, then it gets pushed out the Wolfson DAC which makes it sound even better. With the Wolfson I don't get any crossover talk which is great. I still plug the Xperia S into a jack when in my car though and both sound good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
What the spec a headphone should have in order the surround sound to work? Cause I have an old aiwa one and it does work but with the gs2 default ones it doesn't..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
@mrsatan How long does the Sony Bluetooth lasts? Does it have a built in battery display? An about the phone, what report it gives related to the Bluetooth use? The cables of the headphones, how long are they?

It needs SRS or comparable technology in the specs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] josie87:
As headphones I would suggest you the Koss porta pro. They are not expensive, very light and comfortable and the sound is amazing!!! I use them on my mini and I will use them for my soon arriving xperia p, too.

Don't let the look trick you, you ll be amazed ;)

Another doubt the airplane headset isn't compatible with my S however they work with my gs2, what confused me is that the gs2 default onea does work on my XS, so isn't the airplane one supposed to work in my S as both Xs and gs2 are CTIA?

FYI my experience:

The Philips "Downtown" (pretty good deal at USD$50 here in HK) and the V-Moda Crossfade M80 (with the Android single-button) cable) work with the Acro S

I also use Klipsch S4A's (also single button) and they do sound good. I would like the Sony Smart Headset but they keep falling out of my ears. I am going to try to look for replacement foam pads one day.

What doesn't work (you get the mic disabled message) : Klipsch S4i's, Sennheiser P200-ii's, Shure xxx with the iPhone cable, Ajays 4, Tjays 3. Shure does make an Android cable but is is about USD40, unless I try to find a cheaper one somewhere here in HK

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AwesomeTurtle:
Klipsch S4a sounds gorgeous, and the way the tips are designed really do ensure a comfy fit that's less likely than others to shift out of place.

Personally, I carry NuForce NE-700X. No buttons/controls but sound quality that'll make you dance down the street with emphasis.

Short answer is no

Long answer is the headphones are same as Sony headphones but they changed how the volume buttons are being read to the phone ( its a hardware change).

headphones that work all three buttons & mic

- urbeats

- htc beats solo

- Sony smart headset

- Nocs NS200H-001

- Nokia purity hd and inear

All the headphone that are listed work despite not being on capable List

Do you have a Sony phone or Sony ericson phone ?

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

They have 3 version of beats that have different remotes iPhone and HTC version.

The iPhone works on iPhone all 3 buttons

While the HTC will work for HTC phones windows phone and Android.

What beats don't tell you BC of marketing issues is that HTC verison will work on HTC Samsung galaxy s 2&3 and Nokia Lumia also on some others. When I say work I mean all 3buttons and mic.

For those interested, Sony's own mdr-1rbt work flawless. I know they're quiet expensive, but for those willing to spend the money, you wont regret...

Sound quality is exceptional, as long as you dont need over-analytic sound. Bluetooth works flawless, as well as the NFC feature. Mic, skipping/pause, everything working out of the box and as expected. Battery life is as claimed (somewhere around 30h). Isolation is pretty good, though not comparable to a decent pair of IEMs. Nonetheless for me it's enough for my daily ride with Berlin's metro.

Highly recommended!

AW: Headphones for Sony Xperia S

Ordering from inside the EU should apply no additional charge. Living in Germany, I've done it with Amazon UK, France and Italy. Though there might be additional costs if you're returning the product. Depending on your location and the local postal service. But nowadays I'm not sure if one should order from Amazon ever again...just saying.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shad0wboss:

Syllable G18 Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones

Bought the Syllable G18 Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones.

I might be the only one in the world who has bought these, if the web is any indicator. :o

USD140.00 for a set of Bluetooth headphones with no track record is on a par with buying a race horse called Bruce from a guy in a pub. :cowboy:

The sound quality is pretty good when paired to the XPERIA LT26i, although I don't have any 'known' quality Bluetooth headphones to compare it with.

Maybe a trip down to the local Audio shop to 'tire kick' a pair of Sony MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones to find out how my G18 stack up.

G18 pairs with all my Android devices without any problems. Even pairs with my Android v2.2 TV box.

Paired easily with a Sony Ericsson K610i (circa 2006) and audio sounded good.

The headphones can be paired with two devices at any given time.

There is no audio 'buzz' or breakup when testing audio frequencies from deep bass to high treble.

Seems to be good spacial audio definition too, but'll need to get a few audio tracks to discover how good that is.

The headphones use Bluetooth 4.0, but I'm not sure what that gives us beyond Bluetooth 3.0 + HS

The headphones have mics(x2) in both ear pieces and a tap on the big button on the right answers any calls.

Music fades out to take the call and continues when call is completed.

Was playing .flac encoded music when call was taken and the person on a land-phone sounded like they were talking to me through a bake bean can.

But that could be going from stereo .flac encoded audio to mono phone call quality. The other person said they could hear me clearly.

Pairing with Win7(32bit, 64bit) is another story... it's a real struggle, but it does pair.

Using 3.5mm audio connection seems to ramp things up a notch, with greater driving bass and maybe richer sound, but that may be to do with the software drivers on the originating device (PC/Audio Receiver), so that's something to investigate over time.

You will find yourself moving the headphones around a bit after an hour or two as the ears become a bit sore over time.
