I need a Xperia 3.5 -> normal 3.5 adaptor.

---

As stupid as it sounds, I can't find any headphones that work with my xperia. I just tried my apple in-ear w/ remote and they "work" except you can tell that the sound is off because they don't go all the way in.

I'm determined to use the headphones though, so what should I do?

Have you tried anything else apart from the cRapple ones?

Every headset I have tried does work

The $100 apple headphone are quite good actually, and basically everything I've tried with the 4 pin connector doesn't work. 3 pin is hit and miss.

Yup, everything I've tried works...

Ok, I havent tried much, but they've all worked...

As far as I remember only Samsung and SE 4 Pin ones are fully interchangeable.

My friend who is an Apple fanboy thought his $100 headphones were good as well, that's until he tried my headsets. I have an Older much cheaper Creative EP -630 headset and also a newer earphone section of my SE HPM-77 (it's plug is actually fastport as it was designed for the Xperia Pureness, but you can separate the two) Anyways, those headphones coupled with the standard Xperia 3.5 Cable sound brilliant! Also much cheaper than the Apple variant. Needless to say, he was rather pissed he spent that much for his.

My advice to you, buy a new headset like the creative ones or sennheiser cx300 Which are identical. You could also use a standard 4 pin Xperia cable that has a normal 3 pin out and you wont have any problems (the kind that come with the X1 and X2). If you don't have one, they are pretty cheap on eBay (it comes complete with the OEM headphones as well).

Ironically I have had Senn CX300s and CX500s and wasn't a big fan of either. I might try the 500s again I only gave them up because they got stolen (who steals in ear headphones anyway?)

But anyway, what I'd like is a 4 pin barrel that fits the Xperia so I can make an adaptor for my apple headphones. Surprising the buttons on the headset seem to work, unfortunately it sounds like garbage due to not fitting though.
