HTAN7 Bluetooth Incompatibility
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried to pair HTAN7 wearable speakers with 3 different Samsung TVs and a Windows 10 PC with no success. Neither the Samsung TVs nor the PC will even see the HTAN7 as an available Bluetooth device, but my Android cell phone has no problem connecting and working with the Sony Sound Connect App. The HTAN7 will connect to our cell phones, but not the TV it was purchased to be used with. The speakers sound great through the phone which makes it all the more disappointing that it won't work with the TV. Apparently the HTAN7 Sony speakers only support a newer feature of Bluetooth that is almost impossible for customers to verify whether their TV supports it or not. Nowhere on the product information does Sony say that this product ONLY works with A2DP supported Bluetooth devices. You have to dig through the questions to discover the product requires A2DP to work. Even then Sony tells the consumer to figure out if their Bluetooth devices are compatible with A2DP. Most TVs have scant information about Bluetooth other than the version the hardware supports. We have tried on hardware that 4.2 and 5.2 versions of Bluetooth with no success. Can Sony update the firmware to support a more compatible Bluetooth connection? Otherwise, Sony should change the product specifications and advertising to make clear that ONLY A2DP Bluetooth devices will work with this product. There are hundreds of thousands of TVs this speaker could work with if it offered a more compatible Bluetooth connection (even if this limits some of the features). Otherwise I have to take these back because HTAN7 are not working with most of our Bluetooth supported equipment. Our equipment works fine with other Bluetooth connected devices. Is there anything else Sony can do to help with this problem?

Posted .Hi KevinG,
We understand that you are experiencing difficulties pairing your BRAVIA Theater U to your Bluetooth devices. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If the TV you are using supports the BLUETOOTH profiles for music playback (A2DP), then you can connect the neckband speaker to your TV via a BLUETOOTH connection and listen to the TV audio on the neckband speaker. To Bluetooth pair your BRAVIA Theater U (HT-AN7) to a compatible TV, follow these steps:
1. Set the neckband speaker to pairing mode.
To pair a second and subsequent TVs (if the neckband speaker has pairing information for other devices)
- While the power is off, press and hold the (power)/(BLUETOOTH) button for about 5 seconds until you hear a notification sound and voice guidance (Pairing). The neckband speaker enters pairing mode, and the (power)/(BLUETOOTH) indicator double flashes in blue. If your neckband speaker fails to go into pairing mode, repeat this step as necessary.
2. Operate the TV to connect the neckband speaker via a BLUETOOTH connection.
- Make sure the Bluetooth is turned on, then select the BRAVIA Theater U from the list of available devices. If the BRAVIA Theater U is not showing as an available device, click pair new device. and then select it.
- If your device asks for a password or pin, enter "0000".
- When the BLUETOOTH connection is complete, you hear a notification sound from the neckband speaker and the (power)/(BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes in blue.
ensure that the speaker and TV have the latest firmware updates and that no other Bluetooth devices are currently connected to the speaker.
For more details, please visit this help guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/7861/v1/en/contents/TP1001326162.html
3. If the issue isn't resolved, try resetting or initializing the neckband speaker.
You can also watch the video on this link to learn how to Bluetooth pair to a compatible TV (the same steps will work for most Bluetooth devices as well): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yWjOOxoxus
Note:
- If you have it paired to multiple devices, it can sometimes switch when you power on a second device. If you haven't yet, try enabling the Multi-device connection via the Sony Sound Connect app.
- If you're having trouble connecting, the neckband speaker may be connected to another Bluetooth device. Make sure the neckband speaker are disconnected from the other Bluetooth device, then pair the headphones and the desired device again. You can also check your TV's manual to see if you need to change the audio output method to PCM.

Overall a good speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this mainly to wear while on work calls. It was easy to pair BT with my Surface Pro and set up with MS Teams. Works well, my only minor complaint is the sound is very flat and doesn’t have any real bass or depth. That may be related to my using it with a tablet type device. Maybe when paired to Sony tv it’s better? But it does what I want it to do, so I’m happy. The only other nit is that there is no light to indicate when it’s powered on, so it’s b
