Sometimes a temporary connectivity glitch or pairing issue may also cause the wireless headphones not to work properly.

1. Try Powering Off and On the Headphone

Then select Unpair > Now, press & hold the Power button on the headphone to get into the pairing mode again.
Finally, pair & reconnect the Sony headphone and check for the issue again.

3. Delete Unused Paired Bluetooth Devices

In some cases, your device (i,e PC/Smartphone/TV) Bluetooth pairing list may get full because you’ve connected and used plenty of devices in different scenarios previously. Even though most of the paired Bluetooth devices aren’t useful right now, the list will showcase all of them until you manually remove them from the list. So, make sure to delete the unused paired Bluetooth devices from the source device then try connecting Sony WH-CH510 again.

Head over to the source device then open the Settings menu.

4. Reset the Headphone

If none of the methods worked for you then make sure to perform a factory reset on the Sony WH-CH510 Bluetooth wireless headset manually by following the steps below. This method basically restores the factory defaults on the headset which can remove a couple of bugs or connectivity glitches whatsoever. This method is really helpful if your headphone can’t be turned on or can’t be operated as expected like Bluetooth connectivity issues, etc. To do so:
