How can I successfully get these Sony Headphones to work as intended on my Samsung Galaxy S8?

[Savak]

I bought these Sony Headphones from ebay a week ago with the purpose of recording certain phone conversations on a needed basis.

Even though I am inserting it into my phone socket, it is not recording conversations at all Have even bought a splitter with a microphone socket but that hasn't worked either.

Will appreciate a tech genius helping me out here

There are apps to record phone convos - ACR is a popular one.

You needn't go the clunky hardware route for this one.
