Bluetooth devices nearby other devices
lacking a graphical user interface can
be more tricky for example many Sony
headphones can be set in pairing mode by

pairing mode and be detectable this easy
first time pairing mode is common to
majority of Bluetooth products but if
you want to pair more devices you can
put the WH 1000 x m3 in pairing mode by
pressing and holding the power button
for about seven seconds a blue LED
indicator will start flashing and the
voice guidance will state it means the
headphones are detectable note that the
audio cue confirming that pairing stages
varies by product next find the blue to
