About the voice guidance

In the factory settings, when the headset is worn in your ears, you will hear the English voice guidance via the headset.

You can change the language of the voice guidance and turn on/off the voice guidance using “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. For more details, refer to the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app help guide.
