You can now listen to music from either source and if you get a call, simply tap the touch sensor control panel on the headphones two times (quickly) to answer.

The music playback function and phone call function are connected simultaneously when you connect the headphones to a smartphone. To use one phone for listening to music and the other phone for phone calls, you will need to set one phone to Call audio and the other phone to Media audio.

1. Pair the headphones with both phones.
2. Choose which device you want to listen to music or watch videos from and then play a song or make a phone call to establish a Bluetooth connection.
   • This will be the device you use to play Media audio.
   • The remaining battery charge of the headphones will be displayed correctly on this device when using the multipoint connection.
3. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app.
4. Touch Settings → Device connection → Bluetooth → setting icon next to the model name. For example, WH-1000XM4.
   
5. On the Paired devices screen, uncheck Call audio.
   
6. Operate the same phone to terminate the Bluetooth connection.
7. On the second phone, perform an operation to establish a Bluetooth connection with the headphones.
   • This will be the device you use to take phone calls.
8. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app again.
9. Touch Settings → Device connection → Bluetooth → setting icon next to the model name.
10. On the Paired devices screen, uncheck Media audio.
11. Operate the first phone to establish a Bluetooth connection with the headphones.
    Note: Both phones are connected to the headphones with only one function available (call audio on one, media audio on the other).

You can now listen to music from one phone and then if you get a call from the other one, you can tap the touch sensor control panel on the headphones two times (quickly) to answer the call.

To use the multipoint connection with an Android phone and an iPhone, you will need to change the settings on the Android phone so that only one of the functions (Call audio or Media audio) is working. Connect the Android phone before connecting the iPhone because the iPhone can't be set to connect to only one function.

1. Pair the headphones with both phones.
2. On the Android phone, play a song or make a phone call to establish a Bluetooth connection.
3. Determine if this device will be used for phone calls or media, and then open the Sony | Headphones Connect app and set it accordingly.
   1. Touch Settings → Device connection → Bluetooth → setting icon next to the model name. For example, WH-1000XM4.
      
   2. On the Paired devices screen, select the appropriate function:
      • Uncheck Call audio if you want to use the phone for songs or videos.
      • Uncheck Media audio if you want to use the phone for calls.
4. On the iPhone, play a song or video to establish a Bluetooth connection with the headphones.
   • This device is now connected for the function that the Android phone isn't connected to.
