IPad Air 2 won’t connect to Bluetooth devices

I have a set of headphones about 6 years old, but they are comfortable and I like them. My née iPad Air 2 sees them, but won’t connect to them. It also sees my iPhone 7 and won’t connect to it. Doesn’t see any other Bluetooth devices in the house. Does it have higher standards? Are my devices too old? Have tried restarting, turning Bluetooth in and off, etc.

iPad Air, iPadOS 14

If they work fine with your iPhone, here's something that might work:


1) Turn off bluetooth on your iPhone or shut it down

2) Put the headphones in pairing mode

3) Try again to connect them to your iPad
