Why Are My JVC Bluetooth Headphones Not Pairing? Possible Causes and Fixes
Some of the reasons your headphones can have a problem connecting to your devices include:
1. Too Much Distance
Bluetooth devices can only pair when they are within the device’s range. You can know if the devices are not within range if the headphones do not show up on the Bluetooth menu.
Learning the range your devices allow will make connection easier. There are two types of Bluetooth devices. The first is Class 1 devices, which have a range of about 10 feet. The other type is Class 2 devices with a 30-foot range.
You need to confirm the class of your Bluetooth device. Then you should make sure both devices are within the required range.
2. The Headphones Are Not in Pairing Mode
Although the headphones should connect automatically once you pull them out of their charging case, this might not always work. They might also not be in pairing mode if the headphones were already out of their case before you started using them.
You can tell if the headphones are not ready to pair if the LED lights are off. To enable pairing mode, press the power button on both sides of the headphones and hold it until they start flashing blue and white.
This is a sign that they are ready to start pairing. You might also hear a voice assistant announcing that their customer is connecting
Put the headphones back into their case if you still cannot put them in pairing mode. Leave them in for about one minute then take them out again. Wait until they start flashing to know if they are ready.
3. Trouble with System Functioning
Your headphones might not be able to pair with your device because of a problem with their system functioning. There might be too many signals blocking the headphones from connecting.
Try switching the headphones off, wait a few seconds, and turn them on again. Hold the power button until the LED indicator lights start flashing red and blue and redo the pairing process.
System interruption can interfere with the connectivity process and restarting the headphones should be enough to fix it.
4. Your Device’s Bluetooth is Not Ready to Pair
You might have forgotten to confirm that your device is ready to pair. Simply turning Bluetooth on is not enough to start the pairing process. Go to your settings and check if Bluetooth is on.
If it is, check if you can see your headphones on the list of nearby devices. Select the headphones if you can see them and start pairing.
Refresh the search feature or turn Bluetooth off then turn it on again if the headphones still don’t show up. Keep doing this until the headphones pop up and continue with the pairing process.
If the headphones still don’t show up, you might need to restart either or both your device and the headphones. Give them about a minute, turn them on again, and start over.
5. Multiple Devices Are Nearby
Your headphones might have a problem connecting to a device you want to use while other Bluetooth devices are turned on nearby. This will be especially hard if you have paired your headphones with these devices before.
To solve this, turn off any Bluetooth devices that are not in use. This will narrow down the number of devices available, making it easier for your headphones to connect to the correct device.
You should also check to see if there is another device with the same name as your phone or computer. You need to make sure that each device has a unique name to prevent confusing the headphones.
You might still have trouble pairing your headphones even after following all these steps. If this is the case, it might be time to factory reset the headphones. Doing this will make them “forget” any previous commands.
To do this, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds. Give it a few seconds then turn the headphones back on. You will now have to restart the pairing process.
