much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Yeah, I think they go into discovery mode until they find a previously-paired device when you turn them on.
I'll double-check the manual.
This is my experience with all BT headphones I've had. Maybe they do a quick short stint of searching for an existing device but then auto switch to pairing until a device connects.
Is it at all common for BT headphones to be able to pair without specifically enabling pairing mode? I've never heard of that before.
Most headphones require you to hold down the power button when powering on to enable pairing.
Mine have a weird bug when I sometimes hear following messages one right after another after turning them on:
Connected – Disconnected – Pairing
I think it depends on headphone model/setup.
My Sennheiser Momentum 3 by default only look for devices that were paired up in the past.
It goes to (forced) discovery/pairing mode only when I press a specific button on headset manually.
Check manual of your headset for similar setup.
It’s the best solution, but my phone doesn’t have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple).
You can buy a tiny DAC that plugs into the digital port of the phone.
While a bit expensive, the Fiio BTR5 sounds phenomenal over USB
Clearly the universe decided you needed to listen to Freebird lol
It was a canon event
