SharePlay Headphone Compatibility

Does SharePlay only work with Apple/Beats headphones?


I tried to watch a show earlier and received a notification that my Sony WH1000-XM4’s are not compatible with SharePlay.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities stceSAINTSgift16,


We see that you're having an issue when trying to use your Sony headphones with SharePlay. We'd be happy to get you pointed in the right direction.


We were able to test this on our side with a pair of AirPods and AirPods Pro and SharePlay works without an issue or error message. Since you are getting a specific message that your headphones are not compatible, you'd want to reach out to Sony Support.
