Not sure whats going on, I open the case with the buds in hold down the button and put it in pairing. The Steam Deck sees it but won’t pair with it. Idk what’s going on. I have reset it, disconnected it from the iPhone, idk what else to try. Desktop mode and Game mode won’t pair :-/
Restart the Steam deck. Disable bluetooth on your iPhone just in case it is connecting to the headset while you are trying to pair. Then try to pair it again.
Every time I end up with a finicky bluetooth pairing process, I turn off bluetooth on all devices other than the one I’m trying to pair to. Usually fixes any problem.
I wish most BT devices supported being booted from a connection to connect to another so long as its a recognized device.
Playing “guess which device is connected to what” when you just want to quickly use a BT device is a pain in the ass
And that’s how I woke the wife when the pornhub jingle came through the bathroom bt speaker.
I had the same issue with mine, also in an airport. I ended up renaming them from my iPhone and was then able to pair them.
Edit to add: I thought pairing them from desktop mode may give me better luck, but it actually made things worse for some reason. Even after renaming them, I wasn’t able to pair them in desktop mode. Immediately after switching back to gaming mode, I was able to pair them.
Download trombone champ and blast at full volume. You won’t need headphones and everyone will love you.
Is it possible they are connecting to your phone and interfering?
Delete the buds and fully “re-pair” it. That fixes 99% of all BT issues I’ve ever had.
