hello this is my 1st post my xperia x10 volume is really low . when im outside i cant hear anything at all . so i went to a electronic store i tried headset that have mic on it . i tried klipsch , shure like all top of the line ones none of them worked when i play song its all disorted . when i try regular headphones with no mic it works. is the problem with my phone or sony ericsson wants me to buy their headsets. any help would be great thanks
the same thing has always been happening with my Monster Dr.Dre Beats Solo
which also has a mic on the wire. the sound comes out all wierd and echoey. dont know if theres a fix for that yet but if there is that would be great.
the only wired headset that i know works with the x10 is the one that came in box with the x10, but that one sucks.
anyways, if u just want to listen to music with those nicer headphones (such as my dre's) then u can use a headphone jack splitter on the phone before actually plugging in ur headphones, then u can use the phone as an mp3 player.
so if i buy a headphone splitter would it solve the problem? cuz i just purchased the klipsch s4 earbuds which is 1 of the best 1 out there right now and plug it with sony ericsson stock mic and it worked . the mic works and music also . even if i plug the earbuds on jack of phone music will work but it has no mic. so i think sony wants customers to use thier headsets. and when i use x10 headset with my earbuds the wires are way too long and i dont like . i wonder if there is any mic headphones outhere that will work with x10

I'm looking for replacement for Magician's (wired) headset coz I think the one that comes with it sucks (low audio quality).
Anyone can suggest good alternatives with good MP3 quality (enough bass,...) and also as the phone's handsfree.
Thanks a lot.
If you are handy with a soldering iron, cut off that stupid pair of earbuds and solder on your favorite headset (that's what I did) or you can buy 3rd party adapters. If you solder on new headphones, don't forget to get some of that really cool heat shrink stuff to put over the wires, it turns out very professional looking and very strong.
Hmm...nice idea.
Unfortunately i'm not good at soldering.
So it seems i'm stuck with alternative to find a good earphone+hansfree combo....
SOny Ericsson p900 headset
5x times sound quality, + only one with a microphone that fits the 2.5mm plug. I searched long and hard to get this answer as i cannot solder too
this headset is not a stereo one, rigth ?
There are some adapters that have a built in mic and you plug the 3.5 headhones of your choice into it. There is also a small adapter that is just for audio 2.5-3.5. It is true that the Sony P800-900 headsets are compatible with the Jam. Unfortunately I have yet to hear original earphones that are acceptable to me. I can't remember where I bought it, but the adapter with a built-in mic and 3.5 headphone jack is probably what you are looking for. I use one in my car. Maybe somone has a link for you?

But in this case, is there any high quality 3.5mm earphone that also work as handsfree for the Jam?
This solution uses the internal mic of the PPC Phone so you can use any high quality headset from your local hi-fi store.
Can you confirm that this doesn't mess up the stereo or do anything else weird?
I found it! This is the adapter that I bought for my Sony P800 years ago(works with Magician). You can use it to plug into your home stereo, favorite headphones and it even has a volume control. Mainly I use it in my car. I use it to plug my Jam into my car stereo and sometimes I use it to plug in the earbud for one ear wired headset communication. ENJOY!

I have that. I don't like it too much since it feels very fragile (including the thin wire) and the fact that it isn't a simple straight wire means it snga everywhere.
I only use that adapter in the car. It is good for people that can't make their own headset by soldering. I made a custom headset from Koss headphones and a Sony handsfree. That baby sounds really good, and I'm picky about sound quality.
Does the mic work? Can you accept and end calls using the button?
Thanks,
K
Yes, the above adapter works exactly as the original handsfree headset (+ volume control) except that you have to plug in a normal 3.5 plug stereo headphones. If there are other models out there without the reel thingy, I haven't found it.
Hi, I was listening to my music through my pc via the 3.5mm line out and one of my mates phones me, of course i thought it was boss when I could hear him through my speakers but was a bit gutted that when i use my line out it disables the mic on the phone. Anyway to fix it so it doesn't disable the mic?
Thanks for any help,
Luke.
This is what i use

All the info on there - the main thing is if a call comes in whilst listening to music theres nothing to disconnect!!

Nope u have to use a mic and a earphone to get it work , standalone earphone will not work with the builtin mic else u will have to take out the plug from jack to get both working on the device.
My iPhone headphones do not work in the play. When I use my Play headphones in my desktop radio it is very quiet and I have to put the volume way up.
I have an Ipad that I use every day and don't want to carry two sets of headphones.
that is abit strange mate,
would of thought they would work as there are the same audio jack socket
you could buy a bluetooth adaptor that way you can connect via bluetooth
to both devices without the need to carry two headphone around plus u dont get wires everywhere when u gotta plug them in
I was thinking about that.
I was also thinking about getting BT headphones from eBay.
It is strange.
all sony phones have had this setup, the wiring of the mini jack socket is swapped around in some way or another so only sony made headphones will function fully. sony are well known for this type of thing they love to make it so you have to use their products with their products. annoying but i dont think there is going to be an easy solution as no software can emulate the wiring in question to change it to work with normally wired headphones
hope this helps

I think it is probably more to do with the headphones, or the OP's handset, because my SkullCandy headphones work fine in the Play and anything else i plug them in to. Also, before i got them I used the SE headphones and they worked on the phone and my computer.

Handsfree headsets have a slightly different plug from normal headphones. When using your Play headset with your desktop radio, pull the plug out just a bit and you'll hear everything normally without resorting to cranking the volume way up. This also happened with my Nokia handsfree, so I assume it's related to the mic.
As for why your iPhone headphones don't work on your Play, that's strange since most headphones i've tried with my Play work Flawlessly, from cheap $2 Knockoffs to some more expensive gear, even the Nokia handsfree I mentioned before works great with the Play.
My play from verizon came with a little cable that converts their sony configuration to the standard jack. I don't need it as i use BT handsfree.
I just tried another generic set of headphones and put a video from youtube on. I open youtube the sound goes through the phone speakers and not the headphones. This doesn't change if I unplug and plug them back in with the video going either. My Sony headset only works with music. The youtube has no sound at all. I wonder what is going on. I'm going to have to call Sony.
Thanks for the half plugged in trick works great I don't have to carry two pairs of headphones now that my Sony ones work in my laptop!

I tried the Sony headphones in my Advent Vega and, indeed, if they're wholly plugged the sound is weird, metallic. Half-plugged, they worked fine.

That is what I was getting. Do regular headphones work on your play?
@duramajin you'll have to be careful in a quite place because turn of the head could pull them out and sound would be coming out of laptop speakers.... I've just resorted to BT headphones.... SE HBH-IS800 are quality and really small.

No issues here. My portable speakers, my headphones I use on my ipod, everything works in my play. It's just a standard jack.

yes a good idea,
if you get a BT adaptor you dont have to worry about what headphones u use
as they work with all normal audio jack earphones

Just tried two sets of headphones. No issues.
Must be something wrong with my phone then.

I have already tried 2 different headsets with my i9000.They were working fine in the beggining but now the left one works in a VERY low volume.I tried with voodoo but nothing changed.Can someone help me with Service Mode.I think there is the problem and the solution .thanks!
U broke ur head phones, simple as that.

I already said that i have tested another pair and they work fine in listening music etc.When the audio jack is a simple 2way then the music works fine.When i insert a 3way(with mic) audio jack, samsung & 3rd party earphones with mic, one speaker doesnt work even nearly as loud as the other.
Maybe low battery, u may have not noticed low battery.

That's because the 3 way audio jack is meant for apple products, I had this problem before until I realised that you had to hold down the mic button. If you want these to work you can buy adapters on ebay on the cheap.
i have the same problem after installing cm 7.1 - earphones works with any other device, but not with my sgs. holding down mic button doesn't work. I tried to use adaptors added to my urbanears headset (dedicated for nokia / other devices) - still the same issue.
well isnt there any way the Service mode can alter to balance the speakers?I have used voodoo with great results in normal earphones 2way-jack,but on the 3way it becomes a little loud but not as the other speaker!Abput the adaptors i have noticed people who worked for them and people who didnt.What adapter is the most <trustworthy>?
If you are using headset (earphone+mic+remote) for Apple or HTC, get a 3.5mm male to female TRRS adapter.
This will solve your problem.
No i am using the original samsung headset and another headset to check if the samys if faulty!i am fooling around inside service mode but cant find anything.How do i revert any changes back to stock in the Service mode?
anyone get to the bottom of this - driving me mad !
original headset - v low volume - increases when you push mic button
very weird
Original Sammy-made headphones (3 way) work fine on sgs. I had problem like this because I was simply not plugging 'em down and now headphones work normally. Since 3-way female 3.5mm is unified for all devices, you have to try to blow out all dust out of the phone 'cuz audio port isn't covered like usb or this plug in as far as possible.
I am also facing same sort of problem, most of the headphones don't work during call but do work on music

I have tried everything - phones are definitely pushed in properly - port is clean , as asrafw says phone volume on headset is fine for music - just rubbish for calls . Asra does your mic key on headset being held increase volume ?
I have found the opposite - do not push them all the way down then they work fine !
Headphones
You have to buy an iPhone-Nokia adapter, or switch the ground and data pins on any other headphone, which is designed iPhone-style.
To verify that the headset is that kind, if you press the middle button, then you should hear the music clearly.
Or buy headphones made for Nokia or Sony (Ericsson) products.
Even Samsung have changed to the new style with Galaxy Tab, so no proof that if it works with newer Samsung products, then it will work with our phones.
Have you tried a neutral stereo adapter. I got one with my UrbanEars headphones and they work well with it attached.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Yes, the middle button (mic) does improve volume - so what you are saying is that these headsets never worked properly ever !
Do you have a photo of the adapters you 2 are using - just want to make sure I get it right ,
cheers
This is a pic of my cable. I noticed last night that the headphone plug itself is a little different than the neutral stereo plug in that the neutral plug on has two coloured bands whereas the headphone plug has 3. This must be the difference between I pods and earlier androids.

thanks - I presume that is 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor ?
Hmmm think its a 2-way / 3-way thing rather than a size thing.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
so boths end of jack are 3.5mm ?

what style headset are you using ?

has anyone else noticed that some headphones seem to only play what one ear would hear through both?
i have recently tried a pair of sony ericsson earphones as i managed to wash my htc ones and bust the mic. the pair only seems to pick up what one ear would hear but plays it through two.....
my friend who also has a htc says that when he`s connecting his wf up to his car to play music through it he only seems to get the one ear job as well
anybody any ideas??
