V-Moda headphones not recognised

---

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.

Well i have some kind of 'issue' with this too.

When i connect any headphones other than the stock ones that came with it, it doesn't show up in the notification bar (no headphone icon is appearing).

However, the headphones are working perfectly fine.

The problem i have isn't such a big deal, because they are working anyway.

I reckon any 3.5mm headphones should work, i have no idea what could possibly cause your problem.

I use skullcandy's on it btw, but they are just cheap headphones with bad sound quality :P
