Why Does My Sony XM5 Music Stop When I Speak?

Published in Audio Devices 2 mins read

This is a feature called "Speak-to-Chat" designed to automatically pause your music when you start talking. It's intended to enhance convenience during conversations.

Here's how it works:

  • Built-in Microphone: Your Sony XM5 headphones have a built-in microphone that detects your voice.
  • Voice Detection: When the microphone picks up your voice, the headphones automatically pause the music.
  • Resuming Playback: Once you finish speaking, the music resumes playing.

To manage this feature:

  • Sony Headphones Connect App: You can customize the "Speak-to-Chat" settings through the Sony Headphones Connect app on your smartphone.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: You can adjust the sensitivity of the voice detection to suit your preferences.
  • Feature Disable: You can also completely disable the "Speak-to-Chat" feature if you don't want it to automatically pause your music.

Examples:

  • Imagine you're listening to music while walking down the street. When someone approaches you to ask for directions, the music automatically pauses, allowing you to have a clear conversation.
  • During a meeting, the feature ensures that you can hear the speaker clearly without being interrupted by your music.

By understanding how this feature works, you can customize it to your liking and enjoy a seamless listening experience.
