Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Sony headphones disconnect when I put my phone in my pocket?
The human body absorbs Bluetooth signals at 2.4 GHz. When your phone is in a pocket facing away from the headphones, signal strength drops significantly. Keep the phone on the same side as the headphones.
Why do Sony WF earbuds keep disconnecting from each other?
The right earbud acts as the primary unit. If it loses sync with the left, place both earbuds back in the case for 10 seconds, then remove and use. Update firmware if it recurs.
Can too many Bluetooth devices nearby cause Sony connection drops?
Yes — in environments with many Bluetooth devices (offices, airports), channel congestion causes instability. This is normal and improves when you move to a less congested area.
