About the voice guidance

In the factory settings, when the headset is worn on 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.

  • It takes about 20 minutes when you change the language of the voice guidance.
  • When you initialize the headset to restore the factory settings after you change the language of the voice guidance, the language will also return to the factory setting.
  • If the voice guidance is not heard after changing the voice guidance language or updating the software of the headset, set the headset into the charging case to turn it off, then remove the headset from the charging case to turn it on again.
