I have this phone for a month and the in-call volume really pisses me off. so i went bought a earphones that comes with mic i spent $130 on it and it didnt work the music was disorted and u couldnt make calls and couldnt use the mic when the headphone was plugged. so i went to best buy tried 6 best high end brands with mic still samething none of them worked with music or calls . when i plugged a regular earphones with no mic it works. so whats going on here? something wrong with my phone or sony ericsson doesnt let u use third party earphones headsets. and i called sony ericcson about it the guy didnt know anything such a terrible service. i feel so mad that i should break the phone or sell it.

Take a deep breath....then sell it.

my x10i was shipped with the Bluetooth mw600, the volym/mic is significant better than the phone incall volym in my opinion anyways.
i guess the next update will boost the incall volym SE can't ignore it anymore. but who knows. just sell your phone if you don't like it.
(for the note, the line-out volym is low too, and i hope it will be fixed soon) i still love the phone despite the volym issue.

mine came with stantard headsets so i tried it half and hour ago with new klipsch earbuds i bought sounds fantastic
and in call volume great also i guess sony ericsson doesnt let u use third party earbuds that has mic . i have xperia x10a and ddint came with mw600. if i buy mw600 does it use alot of battery?

Instead of breaking it, you can give it to me
.
A headset with an integrated mic simply does not fit because the 3.5 mm jack is not designed for it. The jack is a normap earphone jack that has 3 connectors, right, left and ground, while the plug for the headset probably has four, right, left, mic and ground. The distorsion is probably caused by that the signal probably passes through the microphone as well ,and thus, the volume level will also become lower than normal.
There is a possibility that you have broken the phone by connecting this kind of headset to the phone. There is also a possibility that you have broken the mic in the headset by connecting it this way.

I got mine today & the in call volume is rather low but I can live with it for now. Signal is great & I just love the phone it's stunning. There are always alternative ways of dealing with it. But hopefully
are aware of this cos compared to the X10 Mini that phone's call volume is loud

The plug fits fine, he hasn't broke it. It's just the way SE wired the thing.. If you hold the 'call' button on the headset you'll notice that the sound becomes normal. As soon as you release the button the sound will get distorted. The Xperia X1 had the same 'problem'. In order to fix this you'll have to:
-A: Rewire the headset
-B: Get one of these
extensions with a build in mic like these:

and then use the last part of your own headset (if your own headset exists of two parts as well, otherwise you'll get a headset wire of 3 meters)

if you are buying earphones for the iphone... for example, Klipsch s4i, image x10i etc, they wont work. They are made specifically for the iphone....
try something like the klipsch s2m... its compatible with any phone. not just the iphone.

I find using the headphones in the box is good
Posted by the_ahmadzai
thanks alot guys . so i bought klipsch s4 and use it with the sony ericsson headset built in mic it works perfect now.

I noticed today when I made a call to my doctors that the call on a busy street was audible. I think sometimes it depends on the quality of the line too as I have spoken to several people since I got my X10 & they sounded quite loud but the only one which was not was an incoming call from my dad
I could hardly hear him at all but again I do think it can be down to the quality of the line or the phone the other end is using on how loud it comes across
Posted by badassmam
I think its more down to your network than the phone being that low in call, it is lower than normal though. You could try a Walkman headset like the W995 which should be good since its the only
with a 3.5mm jack.
Leave iPhone alone, once you've mastered the 'hold' you can appreciate its superiority. Try talking to someone who has an iPhone 4, its like a tin of beans with a string on the end.
Posted by Bonovox
Well ya know I am still using my bass reflex headphones that I had with my W995 I still think they are the best sounding headphones to date. The ones in the box are similar too. As for network well yes it can be true I find some networks louder or better than others for call quality.

Trust me I'll never buy a apple product anymore . I sold my 3gs to buy xperia x10 and in 2 months I had to replace it 5 times .apple has terrible customer service and the workers are idiots who don't know shit. They pissed me off and I told them iPhone sucks and android is the best and she was like *what is android* and walked away lol. From that day I promise myself I'll never buy iPhone again . 1st of all even u jailbreak iPhone they r some restrictions and stuff u can't do but with x10 and android u can customize the s**t of out it.
Posted by Bonovox
Indeed iphone still over rated

thread title should be changed to "X10 is great, third party generic headsets suck"...
Posted by mode
The only things that suck about it are 1. Earpiece volume 2. The crippling Android 1.6
