Have tried previous suggestions on this topic _ I have iPhone 8 and 12.

If you had your iPhone forget the earbuds, then you have to put them in pairing mode following the manufacturers directions to put them in pairing mode. Once in Pairing mode (most often, you'll see alternating flashing lights to indicate they are in pairing mode), then open Settings > Bluetooth > look for the earbuds and tap to connect.
