Intuitive Operation
Talk and hear only ambient sound
You can set Speak-to-Chat to pause the music as soon as you start speaking to someone, so you can hear just ambient sound and conduct a conversation0—handy if you want to keep your headphones on or your hands are full. Once your chat is over, your music will start playing again automatically1.
Instant pause. Instant play.
1. Just take the earbuds out of your ears, and the music stops—a proximity sensor knows when you are wearing one or both earbuds.
2. Pop the earbuds back in, and the music starts again.
Quick access to your favourite music and soundscapes
With Quick Access, you can configure these wireless earbuds to resume Spotify0 music playback or Endel1 personalised soundscapes with two or three taps – with no need to touch your smartphone.
Control headphones with head gestures
You can operate your earbuds using natural head gestures, like receiving or declining calls0 or operating Auto Play12 by nodding or shaking your head.
Everything at your fingertips
Tap on the left earbud to change from Noise Canceling to Ambient Sound, long tap for Quick Attention, or double tap on the right to skip to the next track. You can even turn the volume up or down by tapping four or more times in a row0. With simple customization available in the free Headphones Connect app you can assign your own functions to each earbud.
Listen safely with Sony | Headphones Connect app
To help protect your ears, you can check your volume compared to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). For example, when 80% of the WHO weekly sound pressure standard is reached, the volume will automatically drop to a level with less impact on your ear. If you want to track the benefits, you can visualise the time that noise cancellation has protected your ears from sounds that could harm your hearing.
How do you like to listen?
With the Sony | Headphones Connect app, Ambient Sound Control lets you adjust the volume of background sound and gives you the option to allow focusing on voices. Thanks to the new Equalizer setting, you can adjust the sound to your preference by listening to and comparing your preferred sound quality within the app.
Control with your voice
Get hands-free help by saying "OK Google" or "Alexa" to activate your preferred voice assistant0. Then, listen to music, connect with friends, get notifications, set reminders, and more. You can even control the features of your headphones, like noise cancellation with your voice1.
