Xperia Ray: Wired headset adapter with media controls

[xperwan]

Is there a way to know if a particular wired headset (Sony Ericsson or not) with media controls (single or multiple buttons) will work (or not) with my Xperia Ray ? (before buying and trying it, I mean !)
Ideally, I'm looking for a wired headset adapter with media controls (play/pause, previous/next track, volume... but I suppose a single button could be enough thanks to such android apps), and if possible with a microphone, that allows me to plug and use any headphones.

Some examples:

Would something like this work on my Xperia Ray ?
Is there such a Sony Ericsson device ?...

There really isn't, unfortunately.

It is either (as you said) try-before-you-buy, or a bluetooth device.

We don't have a wired headset that meets your needs.

Thanks for your answer.

So it means that some headset adapters will/could work ?
Then if anybody has a successful experience with such a device working on an Xperia, please let me know !

By the way, just a technical question: as there's usually no additional contact on the jack, how do headset buttons work ?...

I hope you get some replies from other users!

As for your other question... I don't know. It must use what is already there

I have purchased SE MW600 Bluetooth earphones and they sounds excellent. However, track and album id doesn't show on headset receiver for some reason.

I also received a set of SE ribbon headphones with the phone anyway, which I've been told are really good (controls on the cord) although i've not used them yet.

any other makes/ types, i don't know...

hope this hepls..

What about this SE one ?

Seems it would work (the 'adapter' part), as I guess the single button should control everything thanks to an adequate app (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton&hl=fr).

Too bad it's not sold separately (without the headphones) !

Also, here's another post from this forum with some interesting info about the compatibility issues (but still nothing specific about the "button" compatibility issues):

I'm wondering if a SE MH-500 or HPM-75J headset (also divided in 2 parts, so that you can use any headphones you want) would work with the Xperia Ray...

They will work, but that button will only answer/end calls.

[xperwan]

But this button will still be configurable through dedicated Android applications, won't it ?

For instance:

Just tried it, works
