markinswpa Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 So I guess I'm looking for ideas or advice. When I bought a Legend I opted for the no headphone option as I had several Bluetooth devices, headphones, earbuds, and bone conductors. I originally had paired the bone conductors to the Legend. Unfortunately I lost them. So I decided to pair my headphones, Avantrees Auditions Pro model. I had bought back in 2019 to replace the ML 80s on the Equinox 800. I could not get them to pair with the Legend. They will pair right up with the 800 and to the transmitter on the 900. As per the manual I erased the old pairing to no avail. I did a factory reset,still nothing. So I tried my old ML80s (which I hate ) and they paired right up. So did the ear buds which were bought before the Avantrees. The Equinox which I believe is 4.2 and my transmitter is 5.0 why can't the Legend pair to them ? I really like my Avantrees, lightweight, comfortable and the audio is damn fine. Two major selling points over the Manticore was the third party headphone option and the mineralization meter. I'm going to be pretty upset if I can't use my favorite headphones. In hot weather I'll suffer through with earbuds but I really prefer the headphones. Any thoughts ? TIA Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 So you held down the + and - buttons on the headphones for about 8 seconds until the light turned pink to reset them? After that they go into pairing mode but other stuff in the close proximity can cause problems with pairing especially wireless routers and other Bluetooth devices. It's best to do it away from other stuff when you're having problems, also hold the headphones right up close to the Legend when pairing, the strongest signal gets the most attention. Also, if you read the latest Legend firmware update they've improved compatibility with devices, this means they've improved their Bluetooth support, if you're not running that latest firmware it may well be your solution. System Software V1.13 (2023.10.16) Updates Made: This update allows for easy switching of the Bluetooth headphones connection between AccuPOINT and The Legend, and better compatibility with your devices.

Jeff McClendon Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I have been able to pair Avantree and Aukey compatible BT wireless headphones and earbuds with my Legend with no issues using software versions 1.09 and 1.11. I do have to make sure that they are not first pairing to my phone when I am trying to pair them to my Legend and that I have cleared out the previous pairing memory in the Legend by holding down the pinpoint button until seeing FP while the Bluetooth settings icon is highlighted, setting the BT setting to 0 after the reset and then back to 1 before leaving the BT setting. I think you noted that you had covered those pairing steps in your post. Just making sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMITH Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I am the same as Jeff I have had no issues pairing my Avantree's to either of my Legends, the only time I have had issues is if the Bluetooth is active in my Cell then the Avantree's will end up pairing with my cell phone so I always turn the Bluetooth off in my Cell and then pair the Avantree's to the Legend, once they pair up with either of my Legends the next time it is almost immediate when they pair the next time, but I still turn the Bluetooth off in my Cell I would suggest to do a factory rest of the Bluetooth in the Legend and try to pair your Legend again with the Avantree's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an issue that threw me initally. We have so many bluetooth devices in the house competing for the signal, I had to take the machine and headphones out to the furtherst point in the backyard to pair successfully. Granted this is also after I'd paired the headphones with a couple other devices, including my partner's work laptop -- the Nokta headphones are her preferred choice!. No issues pairing the headphones going forward, and I've also been successful with two verisons of TOZO earbuds. I do perceive a slight signal lag/delay issue with the earbuds, however, including the gaming/low latency TOZO G1 version. Not present in the Notka headphones, though.

On my headphones I need to hold the power button down for 5 seconds or so until the red and blue lights begin to flash, which I did.At that point, Like I stated it would pair up immediately with my Bluetooth transmitter on the 900and after 30 seconds or so on the 800. As far as proximity to other Bluetooth devices, maybe but keep in mind all pairing was done in the same area and the ML80s and Conius earbuds paired to the Legend with no problem. I did do another factory reset, took them out on the back porch and tries again. Still, no go. I may try the update and see if that helps.

I did do it as per the manual, repeated the steps several times along with several factory resets. And the Bluetooth signal from my phone is a good idea. Will shut it down and give it a try. But the question remains why does the ML80s and earbuds pair and not the Avantrees ? Particularly when everything else pairs interchangeably. Thanks.

Just tried killing the signal on the phone. Still a no go. Then I tried the ML80s and they paired right up. And then with them on I did a device erase to insure that function was working. It is. I thought of doing the update that phrunt had mentioned but after some reading I'm pretty sure its for better connectivity with other Nokta devices. Also as I had mentioned I had no problem pairing to Tayago bone conductors. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am somewhat hardheaded and did not get what you were saying at first as to resetting the headphones. I tried several times but was not able to get them to reset. Again thanks.
