To connect your Sony Bluetooth headphones, follow these general steps:
- Put the headphones into pairing mode:
- If it's the first time pairing or after resetting, simply turn on the headphones and they will automatically enter pairing mode. You will hear a voice prompt saying "Bluetooth pairing" and see the indicator flashing.
- To pair with a second device or manually enter pairing mode, press and hold the Power button (or Bluetooth button on some models) for about 5 to 7 seconds until the indicator flashes and you hear the voice guidance "Bluetooth pairing"
- Enable Bluetooth on your source device (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.):
- Open the Bluetooth settings on your device.
- Select the option to scan or search for new Bluetooth devices.
- Select your Sony headphones from the list of available devices:
- The headphones will appear with their model name (e.g., WH-1000XM4, WH-CH520).
- Tap or click on the headphone name to pair.
- Complete the connection:
- If prompted for a passkey, enter "0000".
- Once connected, you will hear a confirmation sound from the headphones.
- After pairing once, your headphones will automatically reconnect to the device when powered on, unless pairing information is deleted
Additional notes:
- If pairing does not complete within 5 minutes, pairing mode will cancel automatically. In that case, repeat the process.
- Some models enter pairing mode automatically when taken out of the charging case (especially truly wireless earbuds).
- For detailed model-specific instructions, consult the Sony support page or user manual for your specific headphone model
This method works for popular Sony Bluetooth headphones such as WH-1000XM4, WH-1000XM5, WH-CH520, WF-1000XM4, and others.
