My friend has an iPhone and he uses V-Moda headphones and when I bought this phone, he wanted to see the output and connected the headphones to XPS and it doesn't recognize the headphones even though its 3.5mm and on the top the music plays through the speaker in the back.
I have checked the headphones with several other phones like HTC and Nokia they are working fine.
Does anyone know why and how to use these on XPS?
If there are any good headphones for XPS, please suggest.
The ones provided are cheap and sound is poor.
Hold down the volume+ button on the headphones, insert the headphones into the jack, release grip from volume+ button, play music.
I will try this option and let u know if worked or not.

Damn, you are great! Didn't find this little guide anywhere, doing this I am finally able to use my Sennheiser HD 218i with my Xperia S Thanks!
Hi, i am new here.
I have a Sony Xperia s and a sennheiser px 100 IIi.
I tried many ways to connect it to the phone and understood something: connecting it while pressing the central button the phone recognizes it like headphones so I can also calling on the phone by talking to the mic of the phone; if you instead connect it while pressing the + vol or - vol the phone recognize it like an headset BUT the mic does NOT work so you won't be able to call neither talking to the headset nor to the phone mic.
hope to have been useful!

Yes they do, I managed to get them working by using my old x1 headset wire which is made by two pieces(male 3.5 jack to female + male to in-ear headphones). I plugged beats into SE female jack but obviously mic and + - buttons don't work. Do you know about any tweak to get them working without SE adapter or to get beats hardware buttons working on neo?? Thanks!
They won't work. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19388479#post19388479
Hold down the play/pause button and then insert the headphone cable into the device (still holding down the button). Continue holding down this button for a few seconds aftre plugging in.
Your headphones should now work using this cable
People have wedged things like paper to keep the middle play/pause button held down for the control talk cable to work.

Do you guys know of any in-line remote control earphones that work with the mini pro?
I've been searching the internet and apparently, the mini pro has a non-standard 3.5 jack. If you plug some regular earphones in the socket or use the pre-packaged earphones in another device the sound gets distorted.
I've been using the earphones that came pre-packaged with the phone but they're really tatty and worn out now. And they only have 1 button. (I know there are apps that can rewind/fastforward etc based on how many times you press the button, but I'd like more control.
So which models should I go for? You'd think that you'd be safe buying any Sony earphones, but even they aren't 100% compatible with the mini pro. Failing that, is there some kind of adapter I could use?

It's a standard 3.5 jack in the mini pro, no distortion with other headphones. Which means you should be able to use any standard pair of remote control headphones.
I don't use volume control headphones, but I sure don't use the junkphones sony provided with the phone, no problems whatsoever.
Not quite the same but bluetooth adapters have buttons (like the mw600)
Thanks but I listen to music a lot on my phone and I can't spare the battery life.
It's definitely a non-standard 3.5mm jack on my mini pro. I know because I've tried other earphones with it and the sound is distorted. Similarly, I've tried the pre-packaged earphones in other devices and there is hardly any treble at all unless I hold down the mic button.
Has anyone got their XMP working with a remote-control headset?
any headphone will work, its a standard 3,5mm jack, im using a brainwavz headphone and works perfectly
Battery lasts longer when using a bluetooth like the mw600 for playing music through headphones
as the adapter is the amp (The headphones plug into it) Also the headphone jack on the phone is a standard!

Are you seriously saying that having the bluetooth constantly switched-on and paired to the earphones gives a BETTER battery life? That's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The amps inside earphones are tiny and hardly draw any power at all. If we were talking about big home theater speakers then you'd probably be right.
And it's definitely not a standard 3.5mm jack. Like I say, I've tried normal earphones in the mini pro and I've tried the earphones that came with the mini pro in other devices and the sound is totally distorted. I have to keep the answer call button constantly pressed down to get a decent sound out of them, which isn't practical.
So does anybody know which wired, remote-control earphones WILL work with the mini pro?
Afaik android doesn't support the separate play, pause, stop, next button for controlling music.
I had the wh-701 earphone which came default with nokia n8. It got the remote control for music but none of the buttons ever work with my lww, and i doubt it ever will, its android limitation.

Firstly the phones battery lasts longer when playing music through bluetooth adaper thats powering the headphones
like the mw600 to headphones Vs playing music directly to headphones plugged into the phone.
Ive used the adapter on a few different phones!
For the last time I will repeat these words. The Mini pro has a 3.5mm jack.

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to know what app controls headset detection in the Jellybean versions of Xperia P firmware because I've noticed that the new update doesn't let you use other CTIA headsets (like the Apple ones) even though they use the same standard.
In the ICS firmware, you can plug in Apple earphones, a pop up comes up notifying you that the mic and buttons won't work but you get normal output to the earphones. The only thing is that the buttons and microphone don't work, and this is fine for listening to music.
In the JB firmware, you plug in Apple earphones and the same pop up comes up but this time the audio output is still played through the speakers rather than the earphones.
I wanted help on how to force JB to play audio though earphones that we know work with the Xperia P.

I remember reading something ages ago about holding something down while plugging in. Like volume up or down. Just really can't remember now :-S

Just to clarify, are you holding the volume button on the headset or the phone? because you're supposed to hold the headset volume button to make it detect. Tried on stock, it works too

You're on Xperia P as well?
Which kind of Apple earphones are you using? (replacement types, original stock iPod, original stock iPhone etc?)

May be an issue with the newest JB then. Will test once a custom version is out for my ROM and report.
I tried my friends original iPhone 5 earpods and they worked with my phone.
In the meanwhile, you could force the earphones to work with your phone by connecting the earphones to a stereo 3.5mm splitter jack and connecting the splitter to the phone.
The phone will detect them since there's no third channel for the mic/buttons. You can easily find them at any large electronics store and I'd suggest you get one with a thin enough connector if your phone is in a protective case.
I plugged the jack in holding the call button. Worked on my P.
But I have to do that all the time I plug the headphone in.
Volume down
I had the same problem with me Beats Solo HD
Holding down the volume down button of the cable helped
I'm Using XGo
I think it'll work for any other device
if volume down doesn't work just plug in the headphones while holding down any other button
So I decided to get a new pair of headphones and I found the Coloud Headphones Site but I thought to myself that the mic won't work because of the xperia mini's jack input, because as you may know it doesn't support almost any headphones with mic and a button except if you hold the button pressed or just stop it from working. So that's why I am at this forum asking you people for a suggestion about a jack for input like this, that could support a microphone. Thanks in advance ! :fingers-crossed:

Hello friends,
I recently bought an Xperia Z2 Tablet wich I love but there are sound issues I think :
When I plug my Sony headphones + mic everything works great. But when I plug in others headsets with mic such as Xiaomi Piston they are not recognised and sound still comes out from the speakers. (Everything is fine on my computer & Xperia Z then it is not a headphone problem).
I read it had been fixed on a previous update by Sony but I'm on the last one possible : 17.1.1.A.0.402 and it is still buggy.
Is that normal/a known bug ?
Thank you !

I have never experienced problems with headphones, it must be something to do with the new ac jacks, I had an xperia s three years ago with a similar problem, I have to either hold vol up or vol down while connecting the headphone for it to be recognised.... Maybe your solution is something similar
I have tried more headphones with mic & they are now working, even the previous ones which did not are now all ok. But Xiaomi headphones are still not playing the music, may be it will come someday...
I tried to plug with the volume key as you said but nothing happened. Thanks for the reply.
For the ones with the same problem : I used a bit soundabout (find it on play store), may be it triggered something I don't know...
One last thing which I have heard about is plug in your headphones then hold down the power button for a few secs worth a try

Tried it but it's done nothing
That's fine I'll let it just the way it is & plug other headphones instead, thanks again for your help !
For what it's worth, I'm also experiencing problems with this audio jack unique to the noise cancelling headset, the sound will only come from the left ear bud unless you wiggle the headphones inside the audio jack.
I know it's not the same issue you're experiencing but I defiantly think the 5 pin 3.5mm audio jack is to blame.
