My JBL earphones won’t connect via Bluetooth to my iPhone. All steps have been followed. The phone detects the earbuds but they don’t connect. Any advice?
iPhone SE, iOS 16
I can’t get my ear buds to connect

Hi sofi87,
welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: My Bluetooth JBL earbuds don’t connect to my iPhone. Any advice?
The earbuds may need to be well-charged and in "discovery" mode.
You might want to check any instructions that came with them, or the manufacturer's website ... some items "flash" when in discovery mode.
You could also check if firmware updates are available for your earbuds.
If you haven't already, you might want to try wearing your JBL earbuds,
and
on iPhone: Try Settings > Bluetooth > tap "Not Connected"

If more help is needed:
Your iPhone may need updating to the latest compatible iOS version.
Eg: About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support (says iOS 16.4.1 is the latest)
Or, something in the article below may help::

All the best :-)
I struggled with this for ages and then realised that the earbuds actually needed to be connected to my iPhone for my iPad to recognise them. Go figure! They now pair simultaneously to my phone and iPad.
