The Sony WH-CH520 Wireless On-Ear Headphones are designed for music lovers and busy individuals seeking a comfortable, long-lasting audio experience with seamless device switching. Featuring Sony's DSEE technology for enhanced sound quality and a multi-point connection for convenience, these headphones excel in delivering clear audio and calls. The main consideration is their on-ear design, which some users might prefer over full over-ear coverage.
Enhanced Sound Quality: DSEE technology brings compressed music closer to its original recording quality.
Seamless Device Switching: Multi-Point Connection boosts productivity and convenience.
Exceptional Battery Life: 50 hours of playtime means less frequent charging.
Rapid Charging: Get back to your music quickly with 1.5 hours of listening from a 3-minute charge.
Clear Communication: Noise suppression on the microphone ensures your calls are distinct.
Comfortable Design: Adjustable headband and soft earcups support prolonged wear.
On-Ear Design: While comfortable, on-ear headphones may not offer the same level of passive noise isolation as over-ear models for some users.
Microphone Noise Suppression Only: The noise suppression technology is for the microphone, not for environmental noise cancellation for the listener.

Initial Pairing: When first turned on, the WH-CH520 headphones will automatically enter pairing mode. You'll usually hear a voice prompt like 'Bluetooth pairing'.
Activate Bluetooth: On your device (smartphone, tablet, laptop), go to Bluetooth settings and ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
Select Headphones: Look for 'WH-CH520' in the list of available devices and select it to pair.
Multi-Point Connection: To use Multi-Point, pair the headphones with your first device. Then, on the first device, disable its Bluetooth temporarily. Now, pair the headphones with your second device. Once the second device is paired, re-enable Bluetooth on the first device. The headphones should now be connected to both. Audio will play from the active source, and calls will prioritize your phone.
These headphones are compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth audio connectivity, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and some smart TVs.
Charging: Use the provided USB-C cable to charge the headphones. Connect it to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. Avoid using chargers with excessively high voltage/amperage that could damage the battery.
Cleaning: Gently wipe the earcups and headband with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no moisture gets into the charging port or microphone openings.
Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid placing heavy objects on them to prevent damage.
Avoid Water: These headphones are not waterproof. Keep them away from rain, splashes, and excessive moisture to prevent damage.
