I've f pound that my pair are very keen to keep repairing to something close by that they've been paired with before. You tend not to notice as the main device works fine.

Could they be pairing the second slot to something unexpected in the background? You might have already linked two devices without realising, making pairing another one impossible.

Thanks, I'd turned everything off but still wouldn't connect. Then I found a different set of instructions on the internet to set the pairing away, and finally, success.
Everything now up and running was beginning to despair.

My XM3's - If I walk out of my workshop without my phone they switch to my car audio Grrrrrr!

These would pair with my phone without trying but not with anything else. The instructions supplied with the headphones was simply incorrect.

I’ve just ditched my 2nd pair of these. Sound was good, but both of them stopped charging up. Googling it, turns out it’s a pretty common issue on them.

Had 5 years of daily use and I'm still amazed how quickly they charge and last between charges.

Yeah, they get great reviews and I liked both mine while they worked, but it’s hard to want to spend £250 every 15 or so months on them. It’s either the battery, or the battery connector, that fails I think. Anyway, I’ve now gone “out there” and bought a pair of orange headphones to see what they’re like.
