I've got a pair of BOSE noise-cancelling wireless headphones and they worked great with my old Macbook Air. But I can't get my new Macbook Pro to see them. I've restarted everything over and over. They are mot discoverable; they don't appear in the bluetooth list of available devices. It's Ventura 13.5.1. What's the problem? Thanks.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.5

Getting Audio Devices to be Seen:
What to Try:
Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Sound) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.
When you boot into Safe Mode, items load by default, with certain settings and caches set aside. So, hold down the shift key upon boot. See what happens then.
See if creating and logging in as a new administrator does the trick. There may be something misconfigured in your current user - something that is getting in the way. Go to: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Unlock > Click: "+" > Create the new administrator
