If you want your Sony headphones to stay connected to your laptop and your phone simultaneously, you can turn on multipoint connection. I’ll show you how to enable two-device pairing in the Sony Headphones app.

1. Open Sony Headphones Connect

Tapping the yellow Sony Headphones icon on the phone home screen

Put on your headphones and open the **Sony Headphones Connect** app on your phone.

2. Go to the System Tab

Switching from Sound tab to System settings tab at the top of the app

Look along the top navigation bar and tap **System**.

3. Enable Multipoint Connection

Switching on the toggle for Connect to 2 devices simultaneously

Locate **Connect to 2 devices simultaneously** and toggle the switch to the **On** position.

4. Connect Your Second Device

Viewing the Device Management screen showing phone and laptop connected simultaneously

Open the Bluetooth settings on your second device (like your laptop) and select your Sony headphones to connect both at once.

Helpful Tips
