[SOLVED] how to connect bluetooth headphones

I have JBL wireless headphone but can not pair it to my laptop. I installed bluez and bluez-utils too. Any idea please?

Re: [SOLVED] how to connect bluetooth headphones

You need to post information of the tools you are using and in what way "can't pair" shows itself. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Did you methodically work through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth_headset ?

Please use [ code ] and not color/marking tags

if bluetoothctl is waiting for bluetoothd that suggests you didn't start/enable bluetooth.service yet.
