As for Sony 2011 Android phones, the 3.5mm is not compatible with almost all normal 3.5mm headset (headset, not headphone, headphone works fine while most headset can't be recognized - when it can't be recognized, it cannot be used for phone calls nor listening music) I can only manage to work with the in-box head set. Even Sony's own headset does not work
So has the Xperia S fixed this issue?

Yes, the Xperia S uses the same 3.5 as the iPhone (and thus most headsets).

I am sorry, but I barely understand your problem. Sony Ericsson phones, so up to 2011 (Arc, Arc S, Ray, Play, Neo, X10, Mini Pro, etc.) use 3.5mm jack using OMTP standard. New Xperia line from 2012 (Sony branded phones - Xperia S, P and U) use CTIA standard of 3.5mm jack (same as iPhone). So headset (with mic) from 2011 phone won't fully work with Sony Xperia from 2012, and headset from Sony Xperia S (2012) won't fully work on phone from 2011.
By fully work I mean, you possibly won't be able to use button to redial, or skip tracks in media player, possibly problems with sound as well. So there is no issue Sony has to fix.

Oh so I don't understand Sony decision about using a different standard on 2011 devices. Now I stick with the headset comes in the box for my ray, or use bluetooth. I hope I can use my beats headset after the ICS upgrade for my ray.

That was an Ericsson decision I think - Sony themselves made CTIA headsets for the iDevices.
I do not think your beats headset will work on the Ray, as I *believe* it's hardware, not software. Otherwise, anyone with a custom ROM on the SE phones could have used the CTIA headsets.
Just received my Xperia play. The sound seems abnormal, muffled, no bass at all. Mine didn't come with earphones. Tried several earphones and headphones but saw no difference. What might be the problem?
I'm able to use all the headset functions from my HTC Desire Z headset (2010) on my Xperia P (2012)
I haven't tried on any 2011 devices though.

The stock headset is pretty good on the Xperia P. It is actually one step up from the one on the S which is also really good.
