How to find my lost Bluetooth headphones or earbuds

    Bluetooth® devices with Find My Device technology can be located and emit sounds (excluding headphones) within a short distance when connected to a compatible Android™ device. For optimal performance, we suggest using the Google™ Find My Device app applicable to your device. Check your product's Help Guide to verify compatibility.

    Note: The Find My app for Apple devices is not compatible with Sony headphones and earbuds.
