Using the headset
Wear detection
Your headset has an integrated wearing detection. For example, if you take off the headset, it pauses the music and mutes the microphone
during a call. You can temporarily pause music by lifting one earcup from your head. Playback resumes automatically when you return the
earcup on your ear. You can customize the wear detection settings in Dell Peripheral Manager.
Different wear detection scenarios are described in the table below:
