FAQs

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

The Sony WH-CH520 headphones offer an impressive battery life of up to 50 hours of continuous playback. They also feature a quick charge function for when you're short on time.

Can I connect these headphones to multiple devices at once?

Yes, these headphones support Multipoint Connection, allowing you to connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. You can seamlessly switch between, for example, your smartphone and your laptop.

Do these headphones have active noise cancellation (ANC)?

The Sony WH-CH520 headphones do not feature Active Noise Cancellation. They focus on delivering enhanced sound quality through technologies like DSEE and 360 Reality Audio.

How can I customize the sound to my liking?

You can personalize your audio experience using the 'Sony | Headphones Connect' app. This app allows you to adjust equalizer settings and control features like DSEE to suit your preferred sound profile.

Are the headphones comfortable for long listening sessions?

Absolutely. Weighing only 147g and featuring comfortable earpads, the WH-CH520 headphones are designed for all-day wear without causing discomfort.

What is DSEE and how does it benefit my listening?

DSEE stands for Digital Sound Enhancement Engine. It's a Sony technology that restores high-frequency sounds and fine fade-out sound that are often lost when digital music is compressed, bringing your audio closer to its original recording quality for a richer experience.

How do I quickly pair the headphones with my devices?

For Android devices, use Swift Pair by bringing the headphones close to your phone for a pop-up connection prompt. For Windows 10/11 PCs, use Fast Pair, which also initiates connection with a simple notification when the headphones are nearby.

Troubleshooting

Headphones won't turn on or charge.

Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the headphones and a functioning USB power source. Try a different USB cable or power adapter. If the battery is completely drained, it might take a few minutes for the charging indicator to appear.

Cannot pair with a device or connection is unstable.

Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (flashing blue light). Turn off and then on the Bluetooth function on your device. Restart both your device and the headphones. Ensure no other paired devices are nearby and interfering. For first-time pairing, use Swift Pair (Android) or Fast Pair (Windows) for easier connection.

Sound quality is poor or distorted.

Check the audio source (e.g., music file quality, streaming service settings). Ensure DSEE is enabled in the Sony | Headphones Connect app for improved compressed audio. Adjust equalizer settings within the app. Move closer to your connected device to minimize interference. Restart the headphones and your device.

Microphone isn't picking up my voice clearly during calls.

Ensure the microphone is not obstructed. Speak clearly and at a normal volume. Check the microphone settings on your connected device to ensure the headphones are selected as the input device. Ensure you are in a quiet environment to reduce background noise.
