The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphone batteries are packed with smart features designed to improve life and increase the user experience. Such a function is the auto power off function, which automatically closes the headphones after a period of passivity.
Although it is useful to save power, it can be disappointing if you use a headphone in a stable setup – for example, on your desktop, connected to PC or audio monitoring without wearing them. If you close the WH-1000XM6 on your own, it’s an easy way to take control.
In this guide we will show you how to disable the auto power off on the Sony WH-1000XM6 using the Sony Sound Connect app.
