When attaching and removing the headset
In the factory settings, the built-in proximity sensor in the left unit detects when the headset is worn on or removed from
your ears, and the headset automatically controls the touch sensor control panel’s operation, powering off the headset,
pausing music playback, etc. (Wearing detection).
When the headset is worn
The indicator next to the (power) button turns off.
You can use the touch sensor control panel of the headset to play music, make and receive calls, etc.
When the headset is removed
When you listen to music while wearing the headset on your ears, the headset will pause music playback
automatically if the headset is removed. When the headset is worn again, the headset resumes music playback.
In order to save the battery, the headset will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of not being worn.
In order to prevent the headset from reacting incorrectly, music playback, making and receiving calls, and other
operations cannot be performed when the headset is removed, even if you tap the touch sensor control panel.
The noise canceling function cannot be used even if you press the NC/AMB button.
When you are talking on the headset while wearing the headset on your ears, the call is automatically switched to the
smartphone or mobile phone if the headset is removed. When you put the headset on your ears again, the call is
switched to the headset.
Hint
By using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, you can change the settings of the wearing detection automatic music playback
pause and resume function and the wearing detection automatic power off function (the battery saving function).
Note
In the following cases, wearing detection may react incorrectly. When you do not use the headset, turn off the headset.

Put your hand inside the earpad of the left unit
If you put on the headset without adjusting the slider, the headset may not be positioned properly on your head,
resulting in discomfort or a weak noise canceling effect. The wearing detection function of the headset may also
not work properly and cause music playback to stop automatically or activate the automatic power off function
(the battery saving function) to automatically turn off the headset.
