i had same problem with my ipod but with nokia headset and i figured out problem was ipod 3.5mm port .
if you see a 3.5mm headset jacket you see 3 black line and for some reason ipod has problem with some headset jacks .
but headphones has 2 black line in 3.5mm jacks and ipod havn't problem with them .

the problem has been discussed here before. SE reversed mic and ground connection.
you can hold the mic button down to hear it proper. yeah the headset seems to work with SE phones only.

There is an adapter you can use which will allow this to work. Sometimes it is provided with the Xperia Play and is called the EC250 headset adapter.

THis is intended for you to use non sony ericsson headsets with your phone however this works on my ipod touch so i can use my LiveSound headset.

Sorry for the late reply, just got a chance to.test.

Connected the adapter to my ipod touch then plugged in the headset I got with my arc s (mh650) and they work perfectly, very loud and great quality.

Hope this helps.

I'm also trying to get ahold of one of these EC250 adapters. I have an Xperia Play and just bought a nice Klipsch S4A headset and it won't work without the adapter. Dang you Sony Ericsson making headsets proprietary.

yeah, and finding one is hard too. I've looked in Singapore and here in Philippines and I can't find the damn adapter.

I'm looking for one to. I bought an HTC OEM Beats Audio headset off eBay for my Wildfire S not long before I got my Arc S, & for how much the headset cost me I'd like to be able to use it with my Arc S, & eBay don't have them.

The white headset that comes with the X8 has poor Audio compared to the one that comes with the Arc S. SE use a proprietary wiring setup that means that only SE Headsets can be used with SE Handsets, & I assume it works the other way round due to the proprietary wiring setup.

I just wrapped a sticker around the mic button, I think this was the cheapest way for me :p
