How to Connect Sony Bluetooth Headphones to Mac?
Once you notice that all the things that I mentioned above are on good terms and everything is already adjusted, the time to connect your Sony headphones to your Mac has already come. In order to do so you should follow these steps:
Adjust your Sony Bluetooth Headphones in pairing mode
Most new Sony headphones, whenever you first turn them on, they go automatically and directly into pairing mode, but in case you have already used them, what you should do is press and hold the power button for about seven seconds.
Check the LED light
Wireless headphones all own LED lights in order to show us things, and Sony headphones are no exception. Once you hold the power button for seven seconds, the next thing to do is to check the LED light, that is placed above the power button. If the LED light blinks a blue light, the headphones are more than ready.
After the blinking of the light, you will listen to the assistant voice which says “Bluetooth Pairing”.
Go to your Mac
The headphones are ready, but this time, you have to check your Mac. On it, you should go to the Settings, System Preferences, and tap on Bluetooth Icon.
Select the headphones
On the Bluetooth Icon/Settings, you will find the name of the Sony headphones that you are using. For example, you can use Sony WH-1000XM4 or Sony WH-1000XM3. Tap on the name of the headphones.
Choose the speaker option
Mac devices all require changing the speaker option. In this case, you should tap on the speaker icon that appears on the right part of the screen and select again the name of the headphones that you are using.
This way, your Sony headphones, and your Mac are connected to one another, and you are more than free to have the greatest experience of listening to music.
