Listening to music from a device via a Bluetooth connection

If your Bluetooth device supports the following profiles, you can enjoy listening to music and control the device from your headset via a Bluetooth connection.

  • A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
    You can enjoy high-quality music wirelessly.
  • AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)
    You can adjust the volume, etc.

The operation may vary depending on the Bluetooth device. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Bluetooth device.

  1. Put the headset units into your ears.

    See “Wearing the headset” to find out how to wear the headset in your ears.

  2. Connect the headset to a Bluetooth device.
  3. Operate the Bluetooth device to start playback and adjust the volume to a moderate level.
  4. Press the button on the left or right headset unit to adjust the volume.

    • Increase the volume: Press the button on the right headset unit quickly 4 or more times during music playback.

      As you repeatedly press the button, a notification sound is emitted and the volume increases by 1 step every 0.4 seconds, regardless of the number of times you press.

    • Decrease the volume: Press the button on the left headset unit quickly 4 or more times during music playback.

      As you repeatedly press the button, a notification sound is emitted and the volume decreases by 1 step every 0.4 seconds, regardless of the number of times you press.

    When the volume reaches the maximum or minimum, an alarm sounds.

Hint

  • The headset supports SCMS-T content protection. You can enjoy music and other audio on the headset from a device such as a portable TV that supports SCMS-T content protection.
  • Depending on the Bluetooth device, it may be necessary to adjust the volume or set the audio output setting on the device.
  • The volume can also be adjusted on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
    The headset volume during a call and during music playback can be independently adjusted. Even if you change the volume during music playback, the volume of a call does not change.
  • If the function of the button is changed to [Volume Control] on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can also adjust the volume with the headset.
  • You can also listen to music by removing only one headset unit from the charging case and putting it into your ear.
    If only the right headset unit is worn in your ear, use the button on the right headset unit to play music.
    If only the left headset unit is worn in your ear, operate the connected device to play music.
    When you are listening to music with only one headset unit, if you put the other headset unit into the other ear, you can listen to music with both headset units.

Note

  • You cannot adjust the volume with the headset when no music is playing.
  • If you change the function of the button to [Volume Control] or [Not Assigned] in the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you will not be able to adjust the volume by pressing the button on the side where the function is assigned 4 or more times.
    • If the function of the button on the right headset unit is changed to [Volume Control] or [Not Assigned]: Pressing the button on the right headset unit 4 or more times will not increase the volume.
    • If the function of the button on the left headset unit is changed to [Volume Control] or [Not Assigned]: Pressing the button on the left headset unit 4 or more times will not decrease the volume.
  • If the communication condition is poor, the Bluetooth device may react incorrectly to the operation on the headset.
