To pair Sony Bluetooth headphones, follow these general steps:
- Enter Pairing Mode on the Headphones:
- For first-time pairing or after resetting, the headphones usually enter pairing mode automatically when turned on or removed from the charging case. You will hear a voice guidance saying "Bluetooth pairing."
- To pair with a second device or manually enter pairing mode, press and hold the Power button for about 5 to 7 seconds until the indicator flashes and you hear the voice guidance "Bluetooth pairing" (or the Bluetooth button for some models like WH-CH520)
- Activate Bluetooth on Your Source Device:
- On your smartphone, tablet, computer, or other Bluetooth-enabled device, go to the Bluetooth settings.
- Select the option to scan or search for devices.
- Select Your Sony Headphones from the List:
- When your headphones appear in the list of available devices (e.g., "WH-1000XM4," "WH-CH520," or the specific model name), select them to initiate pairing.
- If prompted for a passkey, enter "0000."
- Confirm Connection:
- Once paired, you will hear a confirmation sound from the headphones.
- Your device should show the headphones as connected.
Additional Notes:
- If pairing is not completed within 5 minutes, the headphones exit pairing mode and you may need to repeat the process.
- Some truly wireless models (e.g., WF-1000XM4) require you to hold the touch sensors on both earbuds for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode for a second device
- The headphones can store pairing information for multiple devices but can only play audio from one device at a time
- If you experience issues, try placing the headphones back into the charging case and starting again, or consult Sony’s troubleshooting guides
This procedure applies broadly to Sony Bluetooth headphones such as WH-1000XM4, WH-1000XM5, WH-CH520, and WF-1000XM4, among others
