FAQ
Q: What should I do if my headphones won’t connect to my iPhone?
If your headphones won’t connect to your phone, the first thing to do is check if they’re already connected to another device. Many Sony headphones, such as the Sony WH-1000XM4 that I own, have Bluetooth multipoint functionality but can sometimes have issues connecting to a second device. A quick fix to this issue is to put your headphones into pairing mode by turning them off and then back on. Once in pairing mode, try connecting your headphones to your phone again. It should work this time.
If that doesn’t fix the problem, make sure your headphones are close enough to your phone to connect to it. If that doesn’t fix the problem, there could be something wrong with your Bluetooth connection, like interference or an internal problem with your headphones or phone.
