Can't connect my bluetooth headphones

I’m trying to connect my Beats Studio³ Wireless to my PC, I’m using Blueberry and I’ve tried Blueman.
I ran, sudo systemctl start bluetooth then ran sudo systemctl enable bluetooth and tried to connect them and it didn’t work, so then i tried to restart to see if that would fix it and it didn’t.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

What is the output of systemctl status bluetooth.service?
I enabled it using systemctl start bluetooth.service and systemctl enable bluetooth.service.

Hello,
I just answered this in another thread:

I got a bluetooth card for my Dell E6400 Laptop and I added all the Bluez stuff per the Wiki and still could not get it to work until I found this article on the Arch forum and at the end the person said to fix most of the bluetooth issues he was having was to also install “bluez-hid2hci” he also stated it should be part of the Bluez master package… (Their words)
You might also look at the Arch post…

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=172369

So installed that package and all my bluetooth issue were fixed. Blueman could see my speakers… Not sure that this will help you but there it is for ya to try… Good Luck :alien:

Interesting… while I was able to pair to a JBL 3 Charge speaker, the Beats Studio 3 still won’t connect.
i’m thinking it has to be something specific to the Beats Studio headphones

do you try with cli bluetoothctl as root?

sudo bluetoothctl
power on
agent on
default-agent
scan on
pair 00:1D:43:6D:03:26

replace 00:1D:43:6D:03:26 with the one for your device

trust 00:1D:43:6D:03:26

connect 00:1D:43:6D:03:26

Thanks to all who contributed for the help, it’s nice to have wireless connectivity to my headphones once more :sweat_smile:. This Bluetooth thing has been an issue for me since switching to EndeavourOS about 6 weeks ago. And, after purchasing a new set of headphones I Was determined to get it fixed. Again, thanks and God bless.
