Speaking with someone while wearing the headset (Speak-to-Chat)
Speak-to-Chat is a feature that makes it easier to hear the voice of your conversation partner while wearing the headset. Set up with the “Sound Connect” app.
While Speak-to-Chat mode is activated, the headset lowers the music volume and captures the voice of the other person through the microphone to make listening easier.
When the headset does not detect the wearer’s voice for a certain period of time, the Speak-to-Chat mode ends automatically.
If you want to end the mode before that, tap the touch sensor on the left or right headset unit.
