Smart Headset/MH750 is compatible with the Xperia Tipo. The LiveSound is not compatible with Tipo.

Very smart, Sony.

The MH650 is a lot less pricey than the MH750, but not fully compatible with the Tipo. So they tell you to get the Smart Headset for only €49, that being almost half the price of the low-end phone you are getting it for.

What no one tells you here, and the product doesn't even appear on Sony's own shop, is that there is a MH650C model which works perfectly with the Tipo and is worth about €10. Go on Amazon to find it. And always be very skeptical of what this money-hungry scammers tell you - they say the Tipo has a standard 3.5mm jack, I say my butt: when a pair of headphones actuallly delivers any sound with the Tipo (many expensive and qualitative, for example Bose ones, don't) they do it monoaurally and with low volume. So you have to get a "compatible" (when the audio jack is a universal standard!) and of course pricey alternative. They don't even suggest the less expensive options.

Still, I'm glad I found out. The Tipo I own and which got me to find out about this is the last time I buy a Sony smartphone, if not a product. Great way of losing customers.
