      2. uncheck Media audio if you want to use the phone for calls.

If Connect to 2 devices simultaneously is set in the Sony | Headphones Connect app, the headphones can wait for an incoming call between two phones or switch music playback between two devices. This allows you to do the following:

• Listen to music played on one phone with the headphones, wait for an incoming call for both phones, and talk if a call comes in from either.
  
• Switch music playback from one phone to the other without reconnecting Bluetooth.
  

Before you connect, make sure that the Sony | Headphones Connect app is installed on one of the devices.

1. Pair the headphones with both devices.
2. Play a song or video on the device that has the Sony | Headphones Connect app installed to establish a Bluetooth connection with the headphones.
3. Open the Sony | Headphones Connect app and turn on Connect to 2 devices simultaneously.
4. Play a song or video on the other device to establish a Bluetooth connection with the headphones.

If the headphones are connected to two devices, a third device can be connected through Bluetooth, however, the Bluetooth connection with the last device that played music will stay connected and the second device will be disconnected in order for the third device to establish the Bluetooth connection with the headphones.
