Q: has anyone found bluetooth headphones that successfully pair with Apple Watch (not Beats)

I've been trying to pair the Apple Watch with a few different bluetooth headphones including LG and Kinivo without success. Not really interested in buying another set of bluetooth headphones or dropping $200 on them. Any one have success pairing Apple Watch with any bluetooth device?

    Managed to pair my watch to my Wife's Bose Soundlink On Ears. (note the MY WIFES!)

    Also to her Bose Soundlink Mini portable speaker (get the jist about her preferences to Speaker manufacturer??!)

     

    On Wifi, it's picked up our standard AirPlay recievers.

     

    Can't connect to my Car Bluetooth stereo though. (MB Audio 20)

     

    Hope this helps

    I just purchased the AudioPure Activa bluetooth  headphones from Amazon for ~ $60. I'll let you know how they work out after they arrive. I didn't want to spend a fortune and have been using Shures, but they are not bluetooth.

     

    I'm really hoping these will work out so I can keep them and not go through the hassle of returning and spending more time deciding on another pair.

    Yes- the Mpow Swift do a good job. Only about £15 in the UK

    Well, I did finally get my Apple Watch to pair with my Kinivo bluetooth headphones. The watch never said it successfully paired and shows as still searching for the headphones. I knew it paired when I heard the music coming out of the headphones. Hopefully, next software update will fix this issue. Thanks everyone for your responses.

    I'm having the same issue, apple watch cannot find my headphones. I'm using JABRA REVO WIRELESS. Any advice pairing up would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I have the Jaybird Bluebuds X and while I did get them to pair with the Watch, it required me to tell my iPhone 6 to forget the device. Normally I have it paired in Bluetooth settings to both my iPad Mini and iPhone, and while it attempt to pair with the last paired device, just going into Bluetooth Settings  and tapping connect will switch device.

    But apparently that won't work with the Watch - as I said I had to tell the iPhone to forget this device first.

    But what annoyed me even more was after getting it to pair with the Watch, when I attempted to play music using the Glances music app, the music played through the iPhone speaker. Sort of understand this as I don't have any music synced to my Watch and generally have the Bluebuds paired directly to the iPhone.

    Not sure if I did something wrong - might get around to playing around with it again.

    I bought the mPow  Bluetooth adapter for some earbuds I already owned This week. It paired easily.

    I have some Jabra REVO bluetooth headphones that paired just fine. Sounds great too.

    My Jabra REVOs paired without any trouble but I've had trouble in the past. My solution is to unpair them from any other devices and then try on the watch again. That usually works for my iPhone, iPad or Mac when I have trouble. Once paired the headphones are usually smart enough to keep track of several devices but I've definitely had problems before.

    I just received my Iwatch.  I was successful in loading my music and pairing my JayBird Blue Buds.  Problem is that when I turn on my headset, and see that it's connected -- select music on my watch to play.   It plays via my phone.  I've tried to forget the device on my phone and it still does the same thing

     

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Rick

    This had me baffled for most of a day - then I found the solution. Open the Music app on the Watch, and Force Touch. From the screen that comes up, select Source and choose Watch.

     

    Of course, you need to have synced some music to the Watch.

     

    As far as I can see, there's no way to stream music via the Watch to the headphones
