2. Getting to Know Your Pi5 S2
We recommend installing the Bowers & Wilkins
Music app on your iOS or Android device. This
allows you to configure
your earbuds in detail
and provides helpful
hints and tips to make
the most of your new
earbuds.

2.1 Switching Earbuds On and Off
Pi5 S2 does not have a power control; instead,
power management is automatic. Your Pi5 S2
earbuds will automatically charge when placed
into the charging case and are ready for use when
removed from the case.
When your earbuds are removed from the charging
case and not used for 5 minutes, they will enter a
power saving mode. To exit power saving mode,
start using the earbuds again by connecting your
paired device, streaming audio or placing the
earbuds into your ears.

3.1 Active Noise Cancellation
Noise cancellation is a series of advanced
technologies that aid in removing undesired noise
from the surrounding environment.
The noise cancellation features can be toggled on
and off by pressing and holding the left (L) earbud
Multi-function button for 1 second. See Diagram 2
for button location.
3.2 Voice Assistance
Voice Assistance on your source device is activated
by pressing and holding the right (R) earbud Multi-
function button for 1 second. See Diagram 2 for
button location.
3.3 Ambient Pass-Through
Pi5 S2 features Ambient Pass-Through, which
allows some external noise from the surrounding
environment, such as safety announcements or
conversations, to be heard without removing the
earbuds.
Use the Bowers & Wilkins Music app to enable/
disable Ambient Pass-Through and adjust the
Ambient Pass-Through level to suit your needs.
3.4 Wear Sensors
Pi5 S2 incorporate our latest enhanced wear
detection sensors in both earbuds. The sensors
enable intelligent battery conservation by entering
power saving mode when removed from the
ears. When inserted back into the ears, Pi5 S2
automatically wakes and connects to the last
connected Bluetooth device.

The sensors will also pause audio when the
earbuds are removed from your ears. Playback will
automatically resume when the earbuds are placed
back in the ears.
The Wear Sensors can be enabled or disabled from
the Bowers & Wilkins Music app.

earbuds. Hair or accessories trapped between
your ears and the earbuds may interfere with
Wear Sensor operation.
