Hi, I have just received my X7500, and I'm very satisfied with it, except for a thing: the audio quality.
During the calls (with the stock wired headphones) there is a noticeable hissing sound, and when I listen to music or watch a movie with my in-iear UE Super.fi 5 pro sometimes (in the parts with low music) the hiss is higher than the notes!
Is it normal? I hope not, because If it is so, I will have to sell my Athena, because I have bought it also to replace my mp3 player, and the audio quality of athena is simply unacceptable.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
Please let me know your experiences!
No, that's not normal. I don't have such hissing sound. Try changing the headset.

It's not an headset issue, because my super.fi 5 pro work great with the mp3 player.
I'll have to call the customer support I think... but I have just flashed AP touch dual.
How can I go back to WM5?
Thanks again, eagle

the rubber goes deep into the ear. They are a kind of earphones that deliver great sound and a total acoustic isolation.
The hiss is really annoying if I use these, and its volume is independent from the playback volume. If I set the volume at 0 in poscket music I can hear the hiss only! I think it's an hardware problem at this point...
I will call technical support

Hi, is it possible to install any software to support these earphones? I tried it with several phones, seems like Nokia and Xperia dont support it while Samsung does.
I have done some research and it is due to the additional mic channel that cause the problem. It is not like it is totally not working, just that it sound like the music lost layers...
anybody has any experience to this?
Thanks!
Any specific reason why u wanna use one of the worlds crappiest earphones?
LOL as if they would be crappy...haha.
Hmm, when you try to listen to music with XPERIA Headphones and iPod the same thing happens: it sounds like the music lost layers. But when you push the "speak" button it is okay. I did not try the new headphones with the XPERIA so I can't help you for now but I'll have a look later on.
I dont think this is a software issue.
Iphone's head set jacks is a little different from any head set iv seen.

Nah
I think Apple's Headset is technically the same as the X1 headset
It should work.
I said should.
You should try it for yourself
Thanks for the replies.
haha, no, i bought the new dual driver version for my ipod.
i came from Crossroads Bijous, i must say they are quite good, better compared to the stock Xperia's and even some sony's dynamic drivers earphones.
Yes! when you press down the mic button, it sounds ok again...
if its a hardware issue, then its really quite a waste..
the real problem is that there is no real std for mini jack with mic too
every company can do it as they see fit
no std for the 3th ring
no std for it's placement
or it's width
so it's always pretty much hit or miss
hi guys, think i solved it!
by using the headphones with the xperia adapter, it actually sounds normal. but i must say theres a good deal of background hiss... is this xperia's problem?
not sure if the mic works... cos the adapter comes with mic too...
it don't and the reason you don't have any issues is that
the adapter don't carry the 3 ring for mic at all so it don't interfear

i think its because of lack of impedance matching.
u ll have to get an impedance adapter to reduce that background hiss.
costs like $2 to $10..

What's the best bluetooth stereo headset for the gym/working out...? I want something that is a very minimal design, nothing that's is padded, etc..
Thanks
S9 HD
I have Motorola S9 HD and I love the sound quality.
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-buy.php
i'm interested in these, i've read they're supposed to be very good for gym/working out (stand up against sweat) but i've been trying to find an unbiased review on them without shelling out 130$
nexus one being newer also, its not showing on the compatibility list, but i assume it would have no problem with these or vice versa
I have a sony-ericsson hbh-ds220 which has served me well for a number of years - I liked it coz it has a 3.5mm socket so you can use your own headphones.
the power button just started playing up, probably got too much sweat in there and its corroded now so I am on the lookout for something else with a socket and suitable for the gym.
Best Bluetooth headphones for music and the gym
The best solution to listen to music wirelessly but stay connected to your phone is here: mi-sport.net
You can put 4gb worth of music directly onto the headphones, get voice cues to guide you through playlists and albums, but still stay linked to your phone for calls. It`s also fully waterproof for the gym - or swimming. For me, this is far better.
I have the LG HBS-250 headphone. It does the job in the gym. Good clarity music and good for taking calls occasionally. One thing I hate is mute function. It keeps on beeping when on mute. But for 35 bucks I can't ask for more.

It's compact and it comes with an FM radio. And it has a 3.5mm jack so you can use any of headphones you like. Battery life is excellent and the OLED screen tells you the caller ID (phone numbers only though). It can be paired with 2 devices simultaneously. So if you pair with it with a gaming device, say a PSP, and there is an incoming phone call, it automatically switches to the phone so you can answer the call with one click of a button.

Is there any audio fidelity lost when using this bluetooth adapter? I mean compared to having the headphones connected directly to the phone.
I'm not an audiophile but I know that all bluetooth headsets lose audio fidelity more or less. IMO and also according to the reviews, the MW600 loses very little and the loss is very unnoticeable.
hey
just got an x10 from rogers
i have a pair of dre beats solo, they have the mic on the wire as u can see there. it has hte up/down volume and a silver button in the middle to answer calls.

anyways when i plug them in to listen to music everything sounds really echo-ey and distorted, however when i press down on the middle button on the wire of the dre beats it sounds like regular headphones.
note this only happens with my dre headphones. tested it with regular headphones with no mic on the wire and it sounds fine
wondering if theres any way around this without having to swap out the wire on my dre's..
---- also on a side note does anyone know how to get the dre headphones working as a headset becuase i cant take calls using it, it wont work for some reason.
bump anyone?
Have you tried your head phones on a different phone? Sounds like it might be a problem with the head phones rather than your handset..??
It's a problem with the phone. similar problem has also been reported with iPhone earphone. solution: use another cable or don't use it
Solder the answer button pins straight, without the button.
Its a problem with the phone, because I have the Dr Dre bets studio headphones and they work fine when I used them on my Blackberry but on the Xperia they sound horrible. I think the phone just doesn't know how to register them if that makes sense because even on my BB I had to manually switch to headset mood in the music player to make them work. Well it doesn't really bother me because the difference between the solos and the studios is that the studios come with a extra wire without a mic and the headphones work GREAT with those.
yeha its a problem with the x10 and not my headphones, which i use for my laptop and touch pro 2/5800 etc.
i'll have to buy another wire which doesnt have the mic built in. another solution ive found is using a headphone jack splitter (wire which plugs into the headphone jack and allows 2 pairs of headphones to be connected to it) allows it to work fine as well.
thanks for the help
Anyone know of a microphone that I could just plug into the audio port and leave there or anything? Does it support audio input through the mic jack?
The recorded audio on the Iconia is completely awful and useless.
Where's the mic jack? All I have ever seen is the headphone jack, USB, HDMI and charging ports.
Yes it does support audio input through the headphone jack. The internal mic is so bad it's practically impossible to do a video chat. I used a psp headset I had lying around, works like a charm for gchat/skype.

Really? I tried plugging in a standard headset that works on my Acer laptop and it certainly cut off the internal mic but sadly no sound from the headset mic.

The 4 section headset comes standard with most of today's smartphones.
I have tried the headset that came with the Iphone 3GS and the Blackberry and they both worked on the A500 for making calls over Skype. The sound quality from the Blackberry headset was much better that the one from Apple.
But, I did notice that the internal mic produced better results when using the recorder function.
Probably need to adjust the mic level on the external headset, but I could not find the setting to adjust this. When pressing the volume button on the A500, a set of slider bars would appear - sometimes there would be a setting for the mic, but more often this would be missing.
Can someone shed some light on how to get the mic slider bar to show up. Thanks.
Dug out the headset that came with my Nexus One and it worked! Couldn't see a volume control for the mic though,just the three standard ones.

Almost all headset with mic will work on A500, just ebay it
can anyone else confirm the iphone headset works?
the mic on my iphone headset doesn't work at all in the A500. it works in the iphone so i know its not faulty.
i then tried an "urban ears" set and the mic works perfectly so i know its not my A500.
Ive just accidentally broken the headsets that came with the phone, and now Im looking for another headset.
The problem with our phone is that the pinout (the mic and ground pins) is inverted in comparison to samsung, LG, HTC etc ). Therefore, we cant buy just about any headset. Also, I want a wired headset (not a wireless one).
Is anyone using a wired headset in which the button works? I want to be able to take and drop calls, and long press to skip track (which would work if taking and dropping calls works).
Yes, I'm using Jabra Chill headset (got it new for 10€), the pins on the jack are the same as original Huawei headset. Also I'm using Headset Button app, that can emulate multi button headset, so I can skip tracks, forward/reverse songs, etc.
Thanks for the info. Just needed to know one more thing. Does the mic work as well? Can you use the button to receive calls? Also, do you have a u8800 or one of the variants? Is there any difference in the pinout for the u8800 and the variants?
Mine phone is U8800, my brother has U8800 pro. Both phones have same pinout. The microphone and the button is also working. If you are using the Aurora rom, you should also tick "use headset microphone" in sound settings.
Do you know a headset like the one you pointed but in-ear?
Those are better at isolating the ambient sound.
Ive ordered one. Lets hope it works out when it is delivered. Thanks for the help Schrauff.

I haven't tried them out, but they have 4-pin 3,5mm jack and mic+button.
I'm also found the a-JAYS One+ which is a great looking headsets with a flat tangle-free cable and has a mic+button.

Anyone tried one and can confirm that the button works?
Just got the Sony Ericsson MH-650. In ear, perfect noise isolation and the button works quite well. Awesome sound quality as well. Thumping bass and crystal clear trebles
Totally recommended for everyone. At Rs. 1500 (do your conversions, I'm too lazy), theyre really nice.
Just bought a Novero Brooklyn Wired Stereo Headset with Mic http://www.novero.com/collections/music-headsets/brooklyn.html but it turns out that it's not compatibly.
I listen only one channel on both phones and when I click the button I listen regular stereo.
They seem to be great headphones, but not compatible with our 8800.
Crap
Found this life-saver converter:
Adapter Pinout: T-T, R1-R1, R2-S, S-R2

It switches the Ring2 with the Sleeve.
Probably there are more cheaper version on ebay/dealexterme.
Apparently our phone has Sony Ericsson Xperia compatible pinouts, not iPhone compatible.
