Most modern smart TVs have this, but you may need to check your TV's manual or its specifications online to be sure. If your TV does support A2DP, the connection process will be straightforward: just put your headphones in pairing mode and then find them in your TV's Bluetooth settings to connect.

  • QuestionDo these headphones leak noise?

    Asked by Schmemmers.

    • Answer Hi Schmemmers! Thank you for asking about the WH-CH520 headphones and sound leakage. The WH-CH520 is an on-ear headphone model. Due to their design, on-ear headphones, in general, tend to have some degree of sound leakage, especially at higher volumes. They don't create a complete seal around your ear like over-ear headphones do, so some sound can escape. However, we've designed them with comfortable ear pads and an adjustable headband to help achieve the best possible fit and minimize leakage! Thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Estefany
