Hello!
I'm having trouble detecting my new Philips TAH8506 headphones. When I go to Settings > Bluetooth > Nearby devices, no Philips headphones show up. I tried turning the macbook bluetooth off/on, turning the headphones off/on, restarting the macbook but nothing happened. What could be the problem? What can I try next?
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)
Thanks for all suggestions! I have tried several other things from this article with no success https://cleanmymac.com/blog/bluetooth-headphones-not-showing-mac?campaign=cmmx_search_dsa_ww_en_cmmcom&ci=20457828377&adgroupid=150853944137&adpos&ck&targetid=dsa-2189759881196&match&gnetwork=g&creative=672170045455&placement&placecat&accname=cmm&gad_source=1
But luckily I found a very helpful post here philips shq8300 bluetooth headset not pai… - Apple Community
and pressing the headset power button for 7 seconds resolved my problem.

This article suggests you reset your headset and attempt to pair it again:

Hello! Thanks for your suggestion, but I think it's more of a MacBook related issue because the headset connects to my iPhone without any problem.
Thank you for the article! I tried resetting the headphones but after the reset they don't show up in Nearby Devices. It's not a pairing problem because I don't see the device listed in the bluetooth settings. This is not the case when I try to connect the headphones to my iPhone - they show up correctly and pairing is easy.
