How To Connect Sony Headphones To IPhone

Nowadays, most Sony Headphones come equipped with Bluetooth functionality. This feature has made it convenient for users to enjoy audio without the interference of bulky wires, and also because it is easy to connect.

So, in this article, let us look at the different methods to connect your Sony headphones to your iPhone device.

Before We Begin

There are a few things that you should consider when starting the pairing or connecting process. They are:

To avoid audio cutoffs, ensure that the Bluetooth headphone is sufficiently charged.
Do not forget to turn on Bluetooth from your iPhone’s control center.

There are mainly two ways to connect your Sony headphones to your iPhone. You can either directly configure and connect them through your phone’s settings or use the Sony Headphones Connect, which is specifically designed to connect and configure your headphones’ audio settings.

Depending upon your Sony headphones, you can either Register through the Bluetooth Settings or Register a wired headphone from the list.
Here, we have chosen the Bluetooth Settings option.
You will be given some on-screen instructions to pair the Headphone to your iPhone device.
From the instructions, you are advised to hold down the Power button for about 7 seconds until it starts rapidly blinking in blue.
Head over to your phone screen, and tap on the Next button while it is blinking.

Head over to the Settings app of your device.
Tap on Connections and select the Bluetooth option.
Switch on the toggle for Bluetooth.
Hold down the Power button from the Headphone for about 2-3 seconds until you hear the pairing tone.
If the Headphone is still not appearing on your screen, tap on the Scan button on the top-right corner of your screen.
Under the Available devices section, you should see the headphones pop up on your screen.
Now, tap on the device, and it should automatically start pairing.
If you see a prompt asking you for the paring request, click the OK button to confirm your action.

Alternatively, you can also use the Sony Headphones Connect app to connect your headphones to your Android devices. The process is similar, with some variations compared to the above-stated steps for connecting through the iPhone device.
