If your Bluetooth headphones won't connect, first ensure they’re fully charged and within range of the device you're trying to connect to. Turn both devices off and on again. Disconnect other Bluetooth devices that might be connected. On your device, remove the headphones from your Bluetooth list and try pairing them again. Ensure your headphones are in pairing mode, indicated by a blinking light or a specific sound. Check for firmware updates for your headphones and the device. If problems persist, consult the manufacturer’s support site.
