iPhone Bluetooth Headphone
My bluetooth Shokz Openrun bluetooth headphone rarely will show the option to select the bluetooth headset, only the iPhone speaker. Why doesn't the bluetooth headphone show the choice?

Hi jimr55555,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like when you're on a call that your headset is not an option to use. To address the behavior, make sure that your headset doesn't require a firmware update. You would need to check with the manufacturer for more information on getting that completed. The headset needs to be within 30 feet of your iPhone when in use.
Restart iPhone to refresh running processes. Check that iPhone has the most recent update installed for the most recent performance fixes. Go to Settings > Bluetooth to ensure that your Bluetooth shows paired and connected.
Unpair and pair your headset in Bluetooth settings if this continues. You can find these and other helpful steps in If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
Regards.
