Does the sound stutter due to a bad connection? Try the following things:

  • Turn off all Bluetooth devices near you.

  • Hold your smartphone in your hands or put it in your front pocket, not in your bag or back pocket.
  • Turn the earbuds off and on again.

If this doesn't help, you can reset the Sony earbuds. Check the manual of your model to learn how.
