is it me or is it my phone

i recently got these 9mm driver earphones http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921666001159

and when i plug them it it makes a really high pitch sound and basically its not working out

but the 3.5mm earphones seem to work fine

i tried this on my brothers Nexus Google phone and it works fine

does anyone know what the issue is here?
