Unable to pair earbuds to my iPad 10th Gen

have 10th gen iPad. I have two different sets (manufacturers) of ear buds. I can’t pair them with the iPad. Why? They do pair fine with my iPhone.

Many Bluetooth accessorises can only be paired with a single device at any one time. You may need to unpair or reset the ear-buds following the manufacturer's instructions - before you can pair them with a different device.
