Samsung AKG earphones doesn't work on other phones

[tryan0ther]

Hi!
I have pretty silly situation here. I have bought Samsung Galaxy S 8 and I have been curious to test AKG earphones that came with it on my old HTC cellphone...But microphone doesn't work and it is working on S8. I have tested it ( AKG ) on some other cellphones and microphone is working. And final I have tested Sony earphones on my old HTC and everything is working. Is there some incompatibility with AKG earphones and and some cellphones other then Samsung?
Thanks in front.

Welcome to Android Central! There can be subtle differences in the headphone jack configuration between manufacturers. Compare the headphone plugs of the AKG and the Sony side by side -- do the contacts line up exactly?
