New headset for my OB

Hi,
My headphones has broken ( cable problem ) and i got this:
Philips SHE3570GN/10
Great surprise: bad touch jack (the jack lines are the same) and in some positions change the track, in other music stops.
How do I know if will be compatible after jack or not?
The money that I have are about 15 € and next on the list are:
Blaupunkt Easy 111
Pioneer SE - CL 07
Sony MDR ex10lp
Kicker EB71W
(if i buy this i can't send them back because i need to buy from store, 1 and 2 and 3 buy from internet)
Do you know if it works well with the phone? ( I will return Philips headphones)

Nobody?

Well, I'm not familiar with any of these but my $15-$20 Skullcandy has very decent quality for the price (and there are versions with mic's if you need one) so you can look some up.

I have those pioneer ones. Very good sound quality.

If you want deep and full bass,buy this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/JVC-Xtreme-...18571810?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item231d7cc622
i use them and i am happy from music in my ears.

ive been using these for the past 5-6 years.... long long before i even got my ob
Audio Technica ATH CK-7
i like it pretty flat ranged but with deep sounding bass
for headphones i swear by these
Technics 1210
saved me millions of times back when i was still playing out alot...
now im eyeing these
Klipsch S4A
but not too sure about the sound and how it actually works with our phone.... not may shops here have it and the shops that do wont allow me to try it so...... =P

For headphones I can only suggest Sony MDR XB500

look in amazon or your local store about britelink BTT005 (transmiter) and BTT006 (reciver)

good & expensive
my feeling is that bluetooth is highly monopology market.... normally, if you want a good one, you need to pay much higher prise, saying >60 USD

Go foe a jabra adapter, adapter and dont worry about music streaming BTMono can take care of that for you

Audio for the car

Hey guys!
So before owning an xperia z, i had the galaxy note (great phone) and i'd run my music through an AUX cable so it would come out through the car speakers (i ain't got blue-tooth in the care).
Now since I've got the xperia z, its becoming a hassle to open and close the flaps every time. So i wanna know if there is a device out there that's can act as a bridge? Xperia > device (via blue-tooth) >AUX cable > Car.
preferably the device should be small, no bigger then a pc mouse.
So yeah, if any has any info or something that's similar or better please share:fingers-crossed:

like you, i'm waiting for this
http://www.sonymobile.com/it/products/accessories/stereo-bluetooth-headset-sbh20/
There are other ones already sold in Sony Mobile but they are more expensive

Personally have been using this one.
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/mw600/
Works great. Essentially the same thing as previously mentioned. Just go for whichever is cheaper.

That's exactly what i'm talking about! Be perfect for my car!!
I actually had a different model of the MW600... but i've lost it... would of been perfect! Damn!

I'm using this in my car: http://www.avantalk.com/products02.php?id=62
It's working great to stream music from the XZ. Works also with Youtube, Digitally Imported, ...

u can use another smartphone with google music and connect it to your car

Something like this?
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=7364&seq=1&format=2
Or upgrade your headunit to one with integrated Bluetooth.
Some of the adapters (like the one above) do have some issues with automatic connection/reconnection when the car powers on... But that's the general type of device you're looking for, search around and check reviews.

I have the MW600 (came with my wife´s SonyEricsson phone some years ago), and works perfectly apart from it does not work with the micro USB charger cable attached.
You need to charge it, then disconnect it from the charger to use it. Would be perfect if would work with the charger cable in and would power on with the charger plugged in (read, ignition on).

Xperia Z and Apple Earpods

Hello everybody!
I upgraded my Z to JB yesterday (v. 10.3.A.0.423). Before the update, with 4.1.2 i used to connect apple's earpods and they worked perfectly.
After the update i plug them in and it doesn't recognize them, it completely ignores them and the sound goes through the speakers.
If i plug in the headphones that came with the device they work without a problem.
Is there any solution othen than a software downgrade?
Thanks in advance!

Do not use Apple product on your Android phone, HERETIC!
Or check if your earphone works on anothr phone to be sure that they works, just in case. That's weird they do not work after the update, earpods are earpods, the phone doesn't detect the mark of it.

same problem

I have the same problem, and NO, your solution isn't really helpful, I'd want the choice to be able to use my earphones on any type of device (imagine if we were tied to same brand for everything:crying:!).
This sucks bad, I hope someone finds a fix.
P.S: My earpods work perfectly on every other device except my XZ!

It seems others are having problems as well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340877

Anyway that's really odd, i think that some Apple earpods have some kind of restrictions or something that doesn't works on JB 4.2.2
The apple earpods i've tried was for iPhone 4S but worked perfectly on my Z

My Apple Earbuds that I've used since my Iphone 3GS are fine. Are you sure you are plugging them in all the way? Mine need to be pushed in a little harder than I would have thought.
I am also on 4.2.2

They should work but honestly apple earphones aren't really that good. Why use them? They are basically cheap headphones just overpriced. I can get much better ones for less. Just saying. And year try maybe pushing them in Harder or try using different once. If they work then that's the issue. Try the Sony earphones they should work if they don't either then something is going on with ur phone.

Compared to the sony earphones that came with the device, they are much louder and have a more crisp sound IMHO.

Anyway using Apple earpods on a sony Xperia Z is nearly troll, just use the one with your phone or buy real quality earpods.

well i have the same problem too, except i'm not using other type of brand for headphone/headset.
i'm using Sony Playstation Wireless Stereo Headset using stereo cable included in it.
before upgrading my xperia z to 4.2.2, it work wonders.
after upgrading just yesterday, my headphones didn't recognized to my phone at all, the output sound is the external speaker on the phone
they didn't work when i switched on the headphone (there are on/off switch on the headphone), but that's because i want to fully experience the high quality sound when it's on and the output sound would be the external speaker on the phone.
sadly when it's off switched, the headphone works well but using standard quality sound. the bass won't come out...:crying:
what is happening with the upgrade, Sony???
Y U not recognized ur own brand headphone???

Well I don't use the sony ones either but what I am saying is if the sony ones work on the xperia z and the apple ones not then u know it has to do with them. I can imagine apple made them so that they don't work right on other devices other then apple devices. It would not surprise me as I am working for Apple and they really do everything to not make there stuff work outside of the apple economy. Sadly. I had that problem with the HTC earphones that where the beats one. They didn't work proper either on other cellphones beside the HTC ones. Strange but htc told me that that is because of the volume and skip buttons on the headphones and also the hands free speaking capabilities. It seems that those often have issues being properly compatible with other cellphones. For example the sony ones work fine for music on other phones but it doesn't work for the hands free part. I know it is strange but I guess htc sony Samsung apple all use a different technology in that regard maybe?

You find that with other headsets, particularly hands free, when you push the button, you can hear fine... Once let go, Sound either fades or mutes!
Xperia Z

I have the same issue.
My earphones from the iPhone 5 do not work since the update from Sony.
this is really stressing me out as the shape of the earphones from the iphone 5 is really great and sit lovely in the ear.
Can't believe google/android can be so petty to stop this with an update.
it's a joke to be hones.

I think this is happening to unlocked, unbranded xperia z's
my wife has the same phone as me locked on three and the headphones work absolutely fine for her. she has the same firmware and android version so the only thing that I can think would cause this is the update from Sony themselves and not the one supplied by the carrier.
i've sent an email to Sony regarding this and will wait their response.

With the press of a Button......

Headphone jack problem

I heard electric noise for few seconds every time I plugged in my earphone to the phone. The noise dissappeared automatically after that.
I have tried a few earphones and they all have the same problem.
Any ideas??

Having the same problem here (.534 Firmware)! It is really annoying. First I thought it had something to do with Poweramps Auto-Play Feature, but it seems to be a general Headphone Bug.

Mine are Shure SE 215!
I found out that playing and pausing audio with any Audio Player does stop the noise signal after some seconds. Sometimes it also stops by itself. Very strange problem, did not experience it with my old Xperia S.

To me that sound similar to desktops. When you plug the speakers in the back. You hear the distortion before its in 100%.
Not sure what that is but doesnt seem to affect anything. Do yiu have any water in the headphone hole?
Maybe its the phones metal inside. Could be dust? Maybe something in there thats interfering with the headphone jack. Give it a good blow. Or a brush that can get in there.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

The Distortion appears directly after plugging in the jack and stops after some seconds or upon pausing the audio. This is without touching or moving the cable, so it does not have something to do with the mechanical connection.
EDIT:
Ok I found something out: The noise just appears when using earphones with a standard connector with 3 lanes (Ground, Left and Right Channel). When using a headset with 4 lanes (Ground, Left, Right, Mic) there is no noise signal. Tried it with both a Sony and an Apple headset (no noise) and my Shure earphones (noise)
I have no clue why it behaves like this, though.

Could be a cheap way for them to make you spend more money on headphones.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4

My Shures were definitely more expensive than the headsets I tested 3 vs 4 lanes is not a quality sign it's just so that a headset needs the 4th connector for the Microphone signal (correct me when I'm wrong).

I have similar issue on brainwavz B2 but that weird sound is gone after a while...

Looks like Im not alone on this issue. I have problems with Shure se210 and westone 4r.

its an issue with smart connect not being automatically turned on just go to the app and switch the profile for your music off and on again.

Can anyone try that? I dont have mine anymore.

Good idea, but it does not help. Also tried deactivating Smart Connect and rebooting, but there's still noise when plugging in the jack.
This really annoys me! Especially because it just happens with normal earphones and not with headsets, so it probably is not a hardware bug.

No, it has nothing to do with moving the device (and there definitely are no vacuum tubes in a mobile phone xD). But I am not sure if that was your question.

Same issues with headphone jack
Hey guys I'm experiencing exactly the same noise with my headphone jack on my Z1.
I'm using a pair of Sony MDRXB41EXB Extra Bass Headphones and they don't have a microphone built in.
Has anybody alerted Sony to the issue yet?

I have problems with jaybird bluebuds x :crying:

Well this is disturbing. I was hoping this kind of crap would have been sorted out by now. I posted a longer rant on another review of the Z1 on Engadget, but here's a snippet of what I wrote,
"I had a really bad experience with a Sony MD player. had a sharp md player, that I bought in Japan, and that thing was awesome. It did everything I wanted it to, It was pretty and sleek and I loved it. It died in a car wreck. Back in the states, I got a Sony to replace it. (only available brand at the time) Twice, I had to return it for a manufacture's repair because the headphone port kept crapping out and creating static on the headphones. The stupid retailer tried to convince me it was my headphones but I tried multiple pairs. The thing was a piece of garbage. Ever since then, I've had a bit of a sour taste regarding Sony's audio products. "
The problem you all are having seems a bit better, at least the static goes away after a couple of seconds. On my MD player, it would go away but then come back if I adjusted the headphones at all inside the jack, and sometimes without provocation. Has anybody noticed that the problem persists beyond a couple of seconds after the headphones are plugged in? If it does, It might just be the same flaw in Sony's headphone jack design. It's abhorrent to me, that a company that built its brand on audio fidelity is also the only company with which I've ever had a problem with something as simple as a headphone jack. I hope that this is the exception rather than the rule with these phones, because I still really want one. I guess one potential solution is to just use bluetooth headphones instead, but this doesn't solve the potential hardware problem, It's just a work-around, and when you pay that much for a flagship device, you shouldn't have to work around anything. The hardware should work flawlessly.
oops.. I ranted again.

This is the reply I got from Sony Mobile:
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties finding headphones to work with your Sony Xperia Z1.
The Sony Xperia Z1 uses a CTIA headphone jack and therefore will only be compatible with other CTIA headphones. As Sony do not test there phones with Third Party Manufacturers, such as Shure and Westone, we can not confirm that they use the same connectivity. You would need to speak to the headphones manufacturers to find this information.
The headphones and headset models which are compatible for your phone are listed below:
MH750
MK200
MW1
SBH20
MBH10
SBH52
