Pairing 12 Pro Max with Bluetooth speakers

I have several Bluetooth speakers that I have not been able to connect with IPhone 12 Pro Max. I go to settings, then Bluetooth. The Beats flexible earbuds by Apple connected instantly. In this screen where you “connect other devices”, the tiny circle indicator just continually circles as though looking but never connects. I want to connect:

2 small travel speakers
Bose portable speaker

Appreciate any suggestions!

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Bluetooth I never had a problem connecting to bluetooth speaker (JBL Flip4) with my last phone (i-phone 6), but new phone (SE 20) does not even find it--and I've tried just about everything. Frustrating. Connects with BT earbuds just fine, but that's the only thing that shows up, as the "Other Devices" thing just spins and spins...Help!

Bluetooth Pairing issues with two iPhones and a Cowin 7 Pro headset I purchased Cowin E7 Pro headphones. They pair with my android no problem but won’t pair with two different iPhones. I tried a Bluetooth speaker and it wouldn’t pair with either iPhones also. The iPhone recognizes the headset and the speaker, but won’t connect.

Bluetooth issue I now have to pair my speaker to my iPhone every time I use it. I’ve never had to do this before. I have the iPhone 14, iOS 16.1.1. And a JBL Flip speaker. It pairs successfully but it’s just annoying that it doesn’t keep the connection.
