Equinox 600 And Bluetooth

[Chase Goldman]

Can you walk through the pairing procedure step by step for both the EQ and the phones.  You are right that it shouldn't be that difficult, and it generally is not and I have used a number of different APTX LL brands to test with the EQ.

Chase,

Going exactly by the manual... Very iffy, just had it paired again, turn off both units then back on and it does not reconnect ... Do a factory reset and pair per the manual and it will after several attempts pair again, but when I turn things back off Im back to not connecting .

After you have initially paired the phones and then have turned off the machine and phones., what sequence do you go through when you turn the machine on again?  I usually turn on the phones then turn on the machine, let it go through its initialization process and wait for the phones to reconnect, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to up to 30 seconds for the previously paired phones to reconnect (and for subsequent reconnection sessions, you should not have to press the radio button again (putting the EQ in pairing mode) or put the phones in pairing mode after the initial successful pairing unless the machine has been reset or another set of phones have been paired).  Try varying the sequence of turning the phones on first or the EQ on first to se which provides a more consistent and reliable re-connection sequence.  Also, update to the latest firmware if you haven't already done so.  I may be imagining things, but my phones seem to reconnect a little faster now.  Also, make sure the bt phones are not attempting to pair with your cell phone or other nearby bt devices.

If you still can't seem to reliably re-connect the phones after successful pairing, you should call ML.

HTH.

I've tried it both ways, its very inconsistent to the point I can't tell which way will work, 90% of the time I have to do multiple multiple on/off    sequences before it re-connects ... Im going to call ML in the AM... 

 

Thanks for the help

Dang,

Well... did a factory reset and back to not pairing .. this should not be so difficult..

Ok, now your describing my exact situation. I can sometimes get them to pair, most of the time not.

Edit to add I assume the equinox is fine, as it always pairs right away with the minelab headphones.

Its weird, and cant be the way its supposed to work .. I can get mine to re-connect like every 3-10 time I power both off, sequence makes no difference it seems... Works good once it reconnects ... I have a call into ML, had to leave vice mail .. Will report back once I get more info.

I bought a pair of Mpow Bluetooth 4.2 w/ aptx LL and they paired up ok but even though the buds are described as aptx LL they were not, no + after the BT symbol and I could hear the lag. So those go back and I have coming today a pair of BT headphones that have same specs as the minelab ones but cheaper ( not miccus or trond but Onesound. )

will see later if these pair ok and work ok 

[relicmeister]

Well I successfully paired the new phones which are called OneAudio A 61

work as well as the factory supplied ones 

they automatically paired-up after turning everything off and then on again. 

 They are definitely aptx LL 

 

i have ave to wholeheartedly recommend the to anyone who needs a pair. At Amazon, they are $49.00 but there’s an instant discount of 60 percent, so I paid $22 for these. Can you go wrong? I don’t think so?

I bought these. I hope they work
