Q: has anyone found bluetooth headphones that successfully pair with Apple Watch (not Beats)

I've been trying to pair the Apple Watch with a few different bluetooth headphones including LG and Kinivo without success. Not really interested in buying another set of bluetooth headphones or dropping $200 on them. Any one have success pairing Apple Watch with any bluetooth device?

    Have these devices previously worked with other devices you own? If yes, which ones?

    I can confirm that my Jabra Revo Wireless works with the Apple Watch. If it is paired with another device, unpair it from that device first and try again. It worked for me without trouble.

    Yes, they've worked fine with iPhone 6, 5S, iPad, and a MacBook.

     

    looking at playlist synching at the moment, as only some of the playlist has synched.

    It seems incredibly slow (6% of a 27-song playlist, in 45 minutes)

    That's good to know, although someone else earlier in the group had problems with the Revo Wireless.

    I've solved my problem.

     

    I took my Watch in to the Store today, as part of the screen was not working. (I also had this problem with Bluetooth headphones, and double-tapping on the menu button was not bringing up Apple pay.)

     

    ALL THREE problems were solved by unpairing the Watch , and pairing it again. Most things (apart from Apple Pay and music) are set up again automatically for you when you do this, it just takes a little waiting time.

     

    I would recommend that you try this with any other those problems.

    I have the same issue with the same headphones. I've been using the Activity app while running and like you stated, it skips while running and seems to work pretty well while walking. It's very annoying, and thought it was the headphones, but maybe it's the watch. I'm going to try and run without the activity monitor on and see if that helps.

     

    Let me know if you found any resolution before I go and buy more expensive headphones.

    I had trouble pairing my powerBeats2.  I powered down the watch and turned it back on.  They paired on the first try after the restart.

    I had to update the firmware on the BackBeat Fit in order to get the watch to see the device.  I spent most of the morning trying to get them to pair before going to the Plantronics page and finding the App for updating the firmware.  Once the firmware was updated the watch jumped right on the pairing.  Wish I had found it before I went running.  FYI plantronics has two Apps to download.  PLT Hub lets you find your headset and BackBeat Fit lets you update the firmware.

    I had trouble with my sabra bluetooth sport and looked on youtube for a solution. I saw that you need to keep on pressing the power button until the blue light indicates that the blue tooth device is able to connect to another bluetooth device. Now it works perfectly - good luck :-)

    I have found this a prinlem as well.  For me it was resolved by going to bluetooth settings on the watch and THEN turning on the headphones, making sure they went straight to pairing mode.  All other methods failed

    I will add my experience to the pile. I have an iPhone 6, a pair of HBS-900 Inifnim LG Tone Bluetooth headset and a Apple Watch. I used my HBS-900 with my iPhone 6 without a problem until I added the Watch. This thread has helped me see that the Bluetooth headset may be the culprit. I think the HBS cannot handle being connected to more than one device at a time.

     

    I have just unpaired and repaired my Watch and I will see how it works.
