      1. \n
        \n

        Step 1.<\/h3>\n

        Power up the WH-1000XM6<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        If this is the first time you\u2019ve powered up the headphones (or you\u2019re looking to connect to another device); the process is similar. <\/p>\n

        Upon pairing for the first time, press the power button on the left earcup and the headphones will go into pairing mode straight away. If they\u2019ve been paired with another device previously, press and hold the power button until you see it flash multiple times and then it\u2019ll be in pairing mode.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n
        \n

        Step 2.<\/h3>\n

        Find the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Whether you\u2019re looking to pair it with a smartphone tablet, or other mobile device; you need to head to the settings of that device and scroll down the list of \u2018Available devices\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n
        \n

        Step 3.<\/h3>\n

        Select the WH-1000XM6 headphones<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        The WH-1000XM6 headphones should be there on the list. If you don\u2019t see it at first, it might take a while to appear; and if it doesn\u2019t then press the refresh button so your mobile device searches for it again.<\/p>\n

        Once you\u2019ve found it, select it and usually you\u2019ll be asked if you want to give headphones access to call logs and contacts. If you do, tap the tick box and press tap where it says \u2018Pair\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n
        \n

        Step 4.<\/h3>\n

        Make sure they\u2019ve connected<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        You\u2019ll know the headphones are connected when you see another battery icon at the top of the screen that represents the headphones. You can also dive into the Sony Audio Connect app to see the settings.<\/p>\n

        If you\u2019re using a laptop, you\u2019ll see it at the bottom of the screen where the speaker icon is.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
        Can I connect with Google Fast Pair?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

        The Sony WH-1000XM6 support Google Fast Pair, so on the first pair with Android devices, power the headphones up and a screen will appear on your Android device asking to connect. Press connect and the headphones will automatically establish a Bluetooth connection. <\/p>\n

        Once that\u2019s done, you\u2019ll be asked if you want to save it as one of your devices (which will make it easier to pair with other Android devices instantly), whether you want to add it to your \u2018Find My\u2019 list (to locate them if they\u2019re lost) and whether you want to set the headphones up in the supported app.\"Sony<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

        Does the WH-1000XM6 support Windows Fast Pair?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

        Yes they do and like with Google Fast Pair, if you\u2019re near a Windows device, the option to connect the headphones will pop up on the screen in the bottom right corner.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

        How else can I pair the Sony WH-1000XM6 to my mobile device?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

        Another method of pairing the WH-1000XM6 to a smartphone is to have Sony\u2019s Sound Connect open, power the headphones up and within the app you\u2019ll be asked to place the headphones next to the phone. Through the NFC chip, you\u2019ll be able to connect to the smartphone\u2019s Bluetooth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
