Replacing the earbuds
For the proper sound quality and noise canceling function to be effective, select the earbuds that fit your ears the best. If the size of the earbuds does not match the size of the ear holes, or the earbuds are not properly worn, the noise canceling function and sound quality may be significantly affected.
When you feel the noise canceling function and low frequency sound are insufficient, change the earbuds to ones that feel more sealed.
When changing the earbuds, try the earbud sizes in order from the larger sizes to the smaller sizes. The size of the left and right earbuds may be different.

On water resistant/dust proofing performance of the headset
On water resistant/dust proofing performance of the headset
The charging case is not water resistant/dust proofing.
The water resistant specifications of this headset are equivalent to IPX5 in IEC 60529 “Degrees of protection against ingress of water (IP Code)”, which specifies the degree of protection provided against the entry of water, and the dust proofing specifications of this unit are equivalent to IP5X in IEC 60529 “Degrees of protection against solid foreign objects (IP Code)”, which specifies the degree of protection provided against the entry of solid foreign objects. Unless the headset is used correctly, water or dust may get into the headset and cause fire, electrocution, or malfunctions. Note the following cautions carefully and use the headset correctly.
IPX5: The headset will maintain its operability even when exposed to direct jet streams of water from any direction (except for the sound conduits (sound output tubes) of the headset).
IP5X: The headset will maintain its safety and satisfactory operation in the event of an ingress of dust. The sound conduits (sound output tubes) of the headset are not completely watertight.
Liquids that the water resistant performance specifications apply to
Applicable: |
Fresh water, tap water, perspiration |
|
|
Not |
Liquids other than those above (examples: soapy water, detergent water, water with bath agents, |
applicable: |
shampoo, hot spring water, pool water, seawater, etc.) |
|
|
The water resistant/dust proofing performance of the headset is based on measurements performed by Sony under the conditions described above. Note that malfunctions resulting from water immersion caused by customer misuse are not covered by the warranty.
To maintain water resistant/dust proofing performance
Carefully note the precautions below to ensure proper use of the headset.
Do not splash water forcibly into the sound output holes.
Do not drop the headset into water, and do not use underwater.
Do not allow the headset to remain wet in a cold environment, as the water may freeze. To prevent malfunction, make sure to wipe off any water after use.
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe off any water that gets on the headset. If water remains in the sound output holes, the sound may become muffled or completely inaudible. If this happens, remove the earbuds, position the sound output holes facing downward, and shake several times to get the water out.
Turn the microphone hole downward and gently tap it about 5 times towards a dry cloth etc. If any water drops are left in the microphone hole, it may cause corrosion.
15
If the headset is cracked or deformed, refrain from using the headset near water or contact your nearest Sony dealer.

System requirements for battery charge using USB
USB AC adaptor
A commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more
Personal computer
Personal computer with a standard USB port
We do not guarantee operation on all computers.
Operations using a custom-built or homebuilt computer are not guaranteed.
Hint
The headset can be also charged by connecting the charging case to a running computer using the supplied USB Type-C cable.
Note
Charging may not be successful with cables other than the supplied USB Type-C cable.
Charging may not be successful depending on the type of USB AC adaptor.
When the charging case with the headset placed in is connected to an AC outlet or computer, all operations such as turning on the headset, registering or connecting to Bluetooth devices, and music playback cannot be performed.
The headset cannot be charged when the computer goes into standby (sleep) or hibernation mode. In this case, change the computer settings, and start charging the headset once again.
If the headset is not used for a long time, the rechargeable battery usage hours may be reduced. However, the battery life will improve after a few recharges. If you store the headset for a long time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6 months to avoid over-discharge.
If the headset is not used for a long time, it may take longer to charge the battery.
Be sure to close the lid of the charging case to prevent the battery of the charging case from being consumed.
If the headset or the charging case detects a problem while charging due to the following causes, the indicator (red) of the charging case flashes. In this case, charge once again within the charging temperature range. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Ambient temperature exceeds the charging temperature range of 5 °C - 35 °C (41 °F - 95 °F). There is a problem with the rechargeable battery.
It is recommended to charge in a place with an ambient temperature between 15 °C and 35 °C (59 °F - 95 °F). Efficient charging may not be possible beyond this range.
If the headset is not used for a long time, the indicator (red) on the charging case may not immediately light up when charging. Please wait a moment until the indicator (red) lights up.
29
If the usage hours of the built-in rechargeable battery decrease significantly, the battery should be replaced. Consult your nearest Sony dealer to replace the rechargeable battery.
