Headset /Earphone Irony - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dont know if it should be in General but its a question too mods do move it to right forum if needed.
So here is the thing. I tried to use headset that came with my gf's Xperia X8, immediately it came a message that headset aint supported use another or go to sony mobile's website.
Tried the headset that came with my old Xperia X10.. what do you know... I got the same message... I've MW600 bluetooth headset but skype doesnt working with bluetooth so i just wanted to try with headset.
Now here is the irony part... I tried the headset that came with my Galaxy SII... it worked like a charm. I then tried with one that I bought from china some no brand headset... and it still works... so whats with sony's attitude.... is it coz it was Xperia before they named it just "Sony" ? Is it firmware bug/limitation? or is it just my tablet... the headset are fine it works with both xperias and SG 2. my tab is SGP321.

Since 2012, Sony phones uses a different headphone hack. It is similar to iPhone one,where two pins are inverted. That's the reason.

From Sony's Xperia Tablet Z Troubleshooting Knowledgebase.
"There are different standards for wired portable headsets. Your Xperia™ device supports the newer CTIA standard. Your headset may have a connector type of a different standard, for example OMTP. If your new device came with a headset, try using that. Alternatively, you can buy an adapter to be able to use your headset with your new device."
Amazon.com sells Sony's CTIA to OMTP adapter.

Actually, I thought so too so I bought a philips (i-phone compatible) headset. Now it is extremely buggy, for example: if I talk on the phone and wants to switch to headset - the calls end and the music starts playing
I guess its not that compatible after all...
anyone try the Beats by Dr Dre with mic?
don't mean to thread jack, but its pointless to make a new thread just for this...
What is this?
i did tried a handsfree of SE x1, i got that from my friend
the mic was not working...
and earphones work for sure...
besides, all iphone's handsfree should not be working on Liquid..
don't try..

Best So Far

Wireless headset

Is MW600 or HBH-IS800 any good?
I want to use it for phone and music.
Have any one try then?
Yeah. The MW600 was in the box for my X10. It rocks!
I have the IS800, great headset, very small, sounds nice. HOWEVER batterylife sucks, three hours max. If I had to buy again I'd buy the MW600. I actually think I'll buy the MW600 anyway when a nice deal comes by.
Thanks for the reply.
I will look for the MW600

Yeah. I heard something about that, the X10 only comes with the MW600 in Scandinavia. Could be wrong though, but I know all X10's in Sweden comes with it!
live in norway and got one too
In Denmark on 3 it come with out the MW600 but with 16G SD card
I owned X10 from 3UK and also have MW600, But I having problem controlling music with my mw600, it just wont pause/start, forward/backward.
Does anyone know it that correct or not? My mw600 work perfectly with my Vivaz.
**My X10 is 3UK Branded is that the cause of it?
Thanks
I got mine on UK Voda ... my headfones SUCKED ((
not even 'bud' style ... just some nasty old 1990's style
not even 'Fontopia'!! :-o lol
Have an MW-600 on order. Had a DBH-200(?) a few years back and it was excellent ... until it went for a trip on the cottons cycle and died.
I personally love the retro headphones supplied with the X10 in the UK - the sound quality is stunningly good and (for me) they are way more comfortable than the noise cancelling ones.
The best sound I've had out of the X10 has come from my beloved Sennheiser Pro cans I've had from my brief time at a world-leading sound company (begins with D). A high quality MP3 in delivered very satisfying sound out, lots of bass but without overpowering the mid-range.
Great stuff from SE on this...

Well, I've noticed that I can change songs and play/pause in Spotify but not in Mediascape. So they must've missed that part. lol
MW600
I've been using the MW600 since december last year, it works nicely with virtually all SE handsets, having tested it with numerous X10 handsets it seems quite stable, especially when using it with Spotify.
to the guys who are having trouble with this, I would like to find out if there are any specific circumstances where you are finding it won't control your music. i.e are you using different music players etc?

Rogers (in Canada) is offering it as a free mail-out promo to all X10 buyers who sign a contract before April 30th. I have yet to mail out my claim form (better get on that), but it's a pretty good deal seeing as how it comes with a 16GB MicroSD card in the box as well.
Yeah I got the MW600 in the box with my preorder, its great. It connects to my westone um1's and the sound quality and battery life is very good.
Problem Resolved by Debranding the X10
I think 3UK fw disable A2DP in Mediascape only with spotify. It now working perfectly

What SW do you have?
short cord, long cord?
i cant tell by the pics that are on some sites, but are the SE MW600's have the cord where the right one is long, and the left is short?
they got it at mobilecityonline.com for 49.95. just placed my order now.
thanks.
got my
got my mw600s. sound is loud and doesnt not get distorted. very easy to pair.
just dont like that short cord, long cord on the headphones and if there was a way to have 3-5 preset fm stations, but those arent deal breakers for me.
I have HBH-DS980, then saw the MW600 that might look good with my X10. After comparing them, the HBH-DS980 sounds better. The MW600 kinda missing the bass that the HBH-DS980 has. But MW600 has the advantage of swapping headphones + FM radio.

[Q] How to use Live hi fi head set on sony xperia s

My name new bee to this forum,I bought a new sony ericsson live hi fi headset from America on last month 10th ,Right now i buy sony xperia s mobile on this moth.Live hi fi head set not working for xpeia s, I want use the headset to my mobile,how can use it to xperia s any patch need to installation or need to root the mobile .Please help on this issue.
You mean Livesound.
I has same problem but it can use with ibasso D-zero headphone amp but only for listen music.
I found that way by accident
That means no way to use live hifi headset to sony xperia s, Please give technical guys give solution for this .
I posted on sony facebook and admin tell me "Because It use different type of connector"
It's ridiculous
Unfortunately it is impossible without messy hardware modifications.
Sony used to use a headphone plug standard almost nobody used. Special headsets made by Sony would work, but the most popular ones (like iPhone headsets) wouldn't.
With the Xperia S and the other 2012 phones they reversed their decision and switched to the more popular standard. The good thing is you can use all iPhone-things with the Xperia S. Bad news is that older Sony Ericsson headsets don't work anymore.
All regular headphones/earbuds (without any buttons) will work fine however.
You can use the EC250 adapter to use the LiveSound with your Xperia S.

But the headphones are not bluetooth mate , they are wired ones
Anyone with anything one this??? Surely other people must be using their different button headsets with android...
I've been trying to get it to work with my SkyRocket and ICS and no dice.
Using Jays's Headset control it does not even detect the button clicks
Damn, I would like to know that too..I have the same controller that came with my Nokia N85.

I think you have to buy an adapter that reverses pins 3 and 4
pin 3 is ground and 4 is signal
the little adapter cable makes 3 the signal and 4 the ground
i didnt buy the cable because i already had a 1 button remote that works so i kept that

[Q] possible to adjust voltage supplied to 3.5 jack?

I like to listen to music so much. When I bought my SXS with information that the 3.5mm jack changed to CTIA standard, I thought that there would be no extend of compatibility with headphone form other companies. Of course it works with a wide range of headphones but not headset :crying: . Besides enjoying music the SXS need to function as a phone. It's very uncomfortable while I'm listening to music someone calls and I have to unplug my headphone to start answering.
I looked up some topics talk about this matter and could get the conclusion that matter as below:
////quote
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
////unquote
All of us want to enjoy music and answer a call. Do we have no choices in stead of using sony accessories, using other brands products without mic or waiting for sony's coming phone?
I'm not a android programers but I simply think that we can adjust voltage supplied to CPU to make SXS runs with 1.67 MHgz so it is possible to adjust voltage supplied to 3.5 jack. Does anybody tell me i'm true? :crying: and is any developer dealing with the issue?
Thank you all
I don't think so. Get a CTIA headset, simple as that.

Of course I use a CTIA one, but the matter is that I cannot use the mic. Sony use different standard of microphone from the others
i tried every! headphone i have on my xperia P and it works just fine. (beats, apple, sony, philips and panasonic)
did you try cm9 (or 10?)?.
sometime it is just rom related, this was also a problem on the xperia play
i solved it with cm9
Thank you nickknoltus. I will try with cm9 as your recommendation. Are you sure that all headsets work well with xperia? I mean mic is usable for receive coming call and answer.

Sony stock, some Chinese noname crap and an HTC one, don't remember the model but it shipped with lower end phones.
Hi. I'm trying with CM9 rom. At a first look, it's very good. I haven't checked all functions but the headset mic still doesn't work.
