Sony MDR-NC750 headset with Xperia X

I noticed that Sony makes a wired headset (MDR-NC750) with noise cancelling.
And they are specified as a supported accessory for the Xperia X
The thing that is a bit special with them is that they seem to not need the battery that normally is found on the cable for other noise cancelling headsets. They seem to use a 5-pole plug to provide power to the NC part of the headset.
Can someone confirm whether these work fine with SailfishOS on the phone, or is there any kind of software support that needs to be in place as well and that is now missing? And if someone knows, can the NC be turned on/off with a button on the headset or something similar?
Found the same thing 2 weeks ago and had the same question. The 5-pole plug does'nt provide power, it provide additional 2 microphones, one on each speaker. The NC has to be done by the phone (I don't know if this happen in hardware or software).
If the phone just see 2 microphones, then someone could build an application (running in the background) for the NC thing. I found it specially interesting since you could not only do noice cancelling, you could also filter and amplify speech. (I have'nt bought them, to expensive, but if NC or even speech amplification works, it could be worth it.)
