The hardest thing I've found pairing Bluetooth headphones, is finding how you put the Headphones into "Discovery" mode.


On my Sony MDR-1000X Noise Cancelling Headphones, when powering on the headphones, I have to keep holding the power button for about 10 seconds until the headphones enter Discovery mode. Then I'm able to pair them to my Apple Watch.


I do not know if the Sony WF-SP800n head have a similar or different way to enter "Discovery" mode.


I have successfully paired 4 different Bluetooth headphones to my Apple Watch, 2 of which are over 15 years old. Again, finding the instructions on putting them into Disovery mode was the hardest part of the pairing process.
