Headphones "Auto-Pause" Triggering Randomly

4.5

Your music stops and starts on its own while you are walking or moving your head.

Symptoms
  • Music pausing
  • Beeping
  • Intermittent playback
Possible Causes
  • Dirty proximity sensor
  • Loose fit
  • Software glitch

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Clean the Sensor

Wipe the small black window inside the earcup or on the earbud.

2

Adjust Fit

If the headphones shift, the sensor thinks you took them off.

3

Disable Feature in App

Turn off "Wear Detection" or "Auto-Pause" in the headphone's settings app.

When to See a Technician

Proximity sensors can be fooled by long hair or hats that get between the sensor and your skin.
