How to pair my Plantronics BackBeat Go Wireless Bluetooth headset to my Mac Mini?

Hi Alberto,

Did you ever find a solution for this as I have the same issue. I'm using an old Mac Mini on OSX 10.7.5 and am unable to pair my Plantronics BackBeat GO Bluetooth earphones.

I'm not sure how to find out if my Mac supports Bluetooth audio files.

Gents,

Same problem with BackBeat Go, but with MBP...

I had a problem paring my MacBook Pro to my Plantronics Back Beat Go 2 wireless earbuds. I would search for, but not find, my BBG2. I turned off every other bluetooth device in the house, made sure I had done a "forget device" on all of them. Nothing worked, until...

I turned the WiFi off on my Mac. As soon as I turned WiFi off, POOF! it found my BBG2 earbuds, paired with them, and works like a champ now. It uses both the input and output features of the earbuds with the MacBook Pro.

So, if Plantronics won't pair with your MacBook (and I'm on Yosemite) try turning off WiFi and THEN pairing with the comp.

I think one of the problems people are having is they think that just turning on the headset puts it in pairing mode. That only works when you power up for the first time. To get your headset in pairing mode; with it in your ears so you can hear it, push and hold the power on button until it says pairing [or until you see the lights flashing blue/red], then it should be found by your device.

Awesome! Thanks, this fixed my problem with a mid 2015 MBP and Plantronics Backbeat Pro

I had the same problem on my iMac. Just have to pres and hold on the - Vol and + Vol until the device say pair mode. Your device should show on your search list. 🙂

Hope it helps.

This worked like magic for me too! I wonder if Plantronics even knows this lol!

Press the middle button until it says "pairing" then press both volume buttons and hold them down and it then appears on your device.
