Ensure your headphones are in pairing mode — most headphones enter pairing mode when you press and hold the power button for a few seconds. If they've been paired with another device recently, turn off Bluetooth on that device or forget the headphone from the device's Bluetooth list to avoid automatic reconnection. Additionally, check if your headphones require a specific app for connection. If the issue persists, restart your headphones and the device you're trying to pair with, and ensure both are charged.
