Using Headphones

The Sonos PLAY:5 has a headphone jack you can utilize for private listening. The headphone jack is auto detecting—plug in a pair of headphones and the PLAY:5’s built-in speakers automatically mute. When you unplug the headphones, the speakers automatically come back on.

When headphones are plugged in, a headphone icon headphone_icon.jpg is visible on the Volume screen of a Sonos controller.

Note:If you don’t hear sound coming from your PLAY:5, check to make sure there are no headphones plugged into the back of the unit.

  1. Plug a pair of headphones into the headphone jack. (Sonos will automatically drop the volume level down to 25%.)

  2. Put on your headphones and increase the volume to a comfortable listening volume.

    Note:Long term exposure to music played at high volume through headphones can cause permanent hearing damage.

     

  3. Remove the headphone jack from the back of the PLAY:5 when you are ready to resume listening through the built-in speakers.
