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 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.
