To connect Sony headphones, follow these general steps:
- Turn on the headphones and put them into pairing mode. For most Sony wireless models, this is done by pressing and holding the power or Bluetooth button for about 5 to 7 seconds until the LED indicator flashes and you hear a voice saying "pairing." If it's the first time pairing, some models enter pairing mode automatically when turned on.
- Open the Bluetooth settings on the device (smartphone, tablet, PC) you want to connect to.
- Look for the Sony headphones name in the list of available Bluetooth devices and select it to pair.
- If prompted for a passkey, enter "0000."
- Once connected, you will hear a confirmation sound or voice saying "Bluetooth connected."
This process is similar across various Sony headphone models including WH- CH520, WH-CH720N, WH-1000XM4, and others. For subsequent device pairings, you might need to manually enter pairing mode by holding the power button for a few seconds again. If connection issues occur, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device, try restarting devices, or reset the headphones to factory settings by following the model-specific instructions. For more detailed instructions or model-specific guides, Sony also offers the Sound Connect app to manage connections and settings. These steps cover the usual connection methods for Sony headphones to most Bluetooth-enabled devices.
