Help SE earphone audio input/output?

[Empath]

i love the audio quality that you get from SE earphones but when i plug it into my laptop the sound is distorted. is there a specific player i can use or some kind of settings i can adjust to fix this? i tryed enabling and changing the spatializer in vlc media player but i can barely hear it when the volume is at its highest. any suggestions?
Also my earphones are starting to fall apart because i keep sleeping on them, is there anywhere (preferably australia) i can purchase another set? i couldnt find them on ebay

Earphones on the x10 are different from most headphones.

They don't work right in other devices.

For my headphones to sound normal in the computer you can either plug them in securely and hold the button near the mouth piece....or only 3/4 plug in the device into your laptop and you should hear normally.

It has to do with the 3 rings on the headphone jack. One of the rings is reversed. Like Left and ground or something.

Normal headphones without a mic piece usually work fine if you plug into the phone (not an ipod headphone)

i thought that would be the case, i guess ill just give up on that and purchase another headset.
