Jaybird headphones not pairing..
iPhone 7 plus bluetooth keeps spinning, no device discovered
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.0.2
Thanks this worked for my iPad mini as well!
Question marked as
I bought a pair of bluetooth Jaybirds just 2 months ago, and they paired immediately with my iPhone 6s Plus. I just upgraded to the iPhone 7 Plus, and the Jaybirds would not pair...just as with you, just the spinner going trying to discover. I brought it up, while at the Apple Store during the set up of the new phone. Apple staff reaction...Oh well, SOL! That isn't a verbatim quote, but that is the gist. Needless to say, I was beyond unhappy.
Got home and figured it out...at least this is how it worked for me on my set of Jaybirds and the iPhone 7 plus.
Power off the Jaybirds
Turn off bluetooth in the iPhone settings
Turn bluetooth back on in the iPhone settings - the spinner should be going
Hold the power button ON, on the Jaybirds, and CONTINUE holding it on, even after the buds tell you "Power On, xx% charged"...
After just a few extra seconds, the iPhone bluetooth screen "discovered" the ear buds.
At that point, you can let off the power button.
Hope that helps...
My excitement for the new 7 is somewhat restored.

Thank you oldduke62. This worked for perfectly me
Super helpful. Worked right away. As soon as I heard "searching for your device" after the battery percentage I was stoked. I have music back in my ears! Yay! Thank you.
Thank God for your post. I had the same exact issue with the same exact headphones. They worked perfectly with the iPhone 6 but off and on with the iPhone 7. Then with the latest update with iOS10.2.1 my Bluetooth connectivity has been garbage with everything but our portable Bose speaker. No offense to you but it is an absolute joke that Apple can't resolve issues such as these and Pauly Public has to come up with the solutions. To pour it on a little more the first iPhone 7 I was sent didn't even work. Phone would not audibly ring when a phone call came through but text messages and music played fine. Videos wouldn't play. To say the least the phone had an issue from day 1. It took Apple 3 months to finally acknowledge there was an uncorrectable issue and allow for me to swap for another new iPhone 7.
Customer service and product performance have been extremely poor or dissapover the past couple years.
I really wish this fixed my issue. New Jaybird X3 Headphone, worked for 3 weeks, then today they would not pair with my iPhone 6.
- Tried soft reset headphones
- Hard Reset
- Restart of iPhone
- The suggestions here
Nothing so far has worked. I'm starting to suspect it is a issue with the headphones as they won't pair with my MacBook Air or iPad 😟
I can't get any Bluetooth devices to show up on the iPhone 7 even after restart.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much I thought I was going crazy couldn't get my jay bird to pair. Did what you said Walla! Connection successful
Thank you x's 100!!!! It worked....yay!
TThis holding down the on/connect button thing worked on my taotronics as well. Thanks
Perfect,
This worked for me. Thanks!
WOW! Thank you so much!
Everyone that has this issue, should try this! I thought my JayBirds were over with for the last month!
Thanks for the great advice! I used the same technique on my old faithful Motorola H700 headset, and finally got it paired. I wanted to mention it in case others are in the same boat
Thank you so much. You just made me smile, was getting very upset with the not pairing thing. You are cool. This was very very very helpful
Thanks again
