I am searching from last 2 weeks just to confirm what all earphones are supported by my device.
Because online purchase sites dont tell you what statndard the earphones they are selling.
So the question is , how to come to know which one is supported and which one not without buying . Once bought u cant replace them.
Now I have come to know that my Xperia mini st15i supports OMTP (Sony customer support told so and I am convinced by other blogs). I dint know there is another standard called CTIA till I did some research.
Sony customer support didnt tell about CTIA . They also misguided me about A2DP which is bluetooth standard; however I told them beforeI wanna buy wired earphones.
They give distributor/dealers of Sony products number. What the **** do they know about technical issues .Those ask me to go to their Sony centre and he will check with some . He dint confirm whether he will replcae "If the earphones I chose after unpacking wont work" in front him only
Sony customer support centre people also wouldnt help telling specifications of their own products .(Even though I had some choices for which they had to tell just 'Yes' or 'No' : for it would be supported or not)**** it.
I never wasted so much time finding a product . Even its not sure.
I dont wanna buy in hurry and waste earphones.
As SE claims to buy some adapter to make CTIA earphones work , I dont think its good idea because it would wear out soon and there will be some drop at the connection; so you wont get proper music experience
Cell : Sony Ericsson Xperia ST15i mini
Earphones : After so much research seems it only supports OMTP 3.5mm jack
I am very ****** off with Sony , first of all if 3.5 mm is universal why follow some other unique standard.And they dont even help regarding the same
