Xperia Z5 with MDR-NC31EM compatibility?

[conceptR]

Hey guys,

Just recently purchased the Xperia Z5 Premium. I found that Sony makes noise canceling earphones for the Z5's (MDR-NC750) but they're a bit pricey and hard to find. Until they become more readily available (at least in the US), I was wondering if any of you Z5 owners have been able to use the Z2/Z3 noise canceling earphones (MDR-NC31EM) with the Z5?

There was a thread in the Z3 forums where someone asked a similar question but for compatibility of the MDR-NC750's on the Z3.

It looks like the Z5 has the same 5-pole input support like the Z2/Z3 so just wondering if any of the new Z5 owners used their older MDR-NC31EM earphones.

Any input would be appreciated!

Those noise-cancelling headphones aren't Z3-exclusive.

I use the nc31em headphones with my z5. Works as it did on my z2 and z3

Sony Mobile's website only listed the Z2/Z3/Z3 compact as the three compatible devices with the earphones...didn't want to go purchasing something that wouldn't work with the Z5. They probably aren't Z3-exclusive but wanted to confirm with someone first.

Thanks for confirming. Appreciate it!

Yes they work, Sony wont advertise that fact as they have a new model for sale

Yes they do work. I got the bluetooth NC headset free with the handset.
