FAQs
Up to eight separate devices can be registered (paired) with the headphones, however only one device can transmit or receive at once. “Multipoint” connections are therefore not supported. You must switch the Bluetooth connection to the chosen device if the headset is associated with two or more devices.
How well you maintain your Sony headphones will determine how long they last. The typical lifespan of Sony headphones, which many people have used over the years, is six years. Before the battery in wireless Sony headphones starts to deplete more quickly, you should expect to get about two years of use out of them.
After wiping off any moisture completely, clean the earbud tips with a neutral detergent that has been diluted. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the outside of the headphones. If there is a lot of filth, you can use a cloth that has been lightly wet with diluted neutral detergent to get rid of it.
The headset should be connected to an AC outlet. Utilize a USB AC adaptor that is readily available and the USB Type-C cable that was provided. The headset’s red charge indicator begins to glow. Within three hours (*), the charge is finished, and the indicator automatically goes off.
Popular wireless earphones on the market have an average lifespan of one to three years. Use your wireless earphones carefully if you want them to last as long as possible. We’ll discuss some advice on how to keep them operating for a long period later in the text.

Holding down the power button for a few seconds will turn on your Bluetooth headphones after you see the light flashing and hear the voice assistant say “Power on.”
One of the most common forms are over-ear headphones, often known as around-ear headphones. The majority of people find them to be the most comfortable headphones for prolonged use, despite the fact that they can be a touch bulky and don’t breathe as well as in-ears or on-ears.
High-end over-ear headphones can typically replicate the broadest range of frequencies, from silky smooth highs to tight, deep bass, because they contain the largest drivers. Over-ear headphones are able to offer good isolation while still allowing for a large sound staging because they completely enclose your ears inside the earcups.
Much preferable options include over-the-ear headphones. In addition to preventing music from entering your eardrums directly, most over-the-ear headphones are typically more comfortable to use than earbuds.

While using the USB charging wire to charge your headset, you can still use it. If a cable—such as an audio or charging cable—is attached to the headset’s USB port, you might notice a modest increase in warmth there.
The headset’s red indicator begins to glow. The indication (red) automatically turns off once charging is finished, which takes roughly 3 hours (*).
Check to see if the charging indicators on the headphones are lit up after cleaning the charging ports. Due to their filth, the charging ports were unable to make electrical contact with the headphones. Await the headphones to finish charging.
