Why us my headphones mic not working? The headphones work fine on other devices

[Android Central Question]

I don't know why the headphones mic is not working on my mobile ( Xiaomi Mi5 ), I tried testing the same headhones on other mobiles the mic is working

But on my phone , headphones mic is not working , tried with different headphones with mic none of them work...

I can hear music and stuff but when it comes to calling or Skype I can't use the headphones only phone mic works

Are these the headphones that shipped with your phone? If not, the wiring might be different which is why you can still hear music but not use the mic (and why they work on other phones)
