WH-1000Xm6 - take off to pause working in reverse

So I have a weird issue with my XM6 headphones, I have had them for a couple of weeks now, but have recently moved mobile. 

On my Pixel 8 mobile when I lifted the left side or took them off it paused the music, which was amazing and loved the feature. 

I recently moved to a Samsung S25 Ultra and even with the same settings, and same headset it seems to work in reverse....

In that I mean: I lift the left side off my head - the music carries on, but when I put it back on my head, it pauses 

If I take the whole headset off my head, the music carries on, and when I put it back on my head, it pauses 

 

It's really annoying. 

 

When I moved phones I did use the smart switch, so thought maybe something has gone wrong, so I have reset the headset, deleted all Bluetooth connections to the phone and then reconnected it, but am I am using the song backup feature to restore my settings (which incidentally does not backup you EQ settings... Which is a bit of a pain--please fix Sony).

 

Has anyone else faced this or have any suggestions?

 

One thing I will note. 

On the Samsung the Bluetooth options don't have "head tracking" which I know on the pixel they did, not sure why that is or how to enable it (i.e. it's enabled in the Sony app but when I go to Bluetooth it is just not listed)
