Pairing MDR-XB80BS with a Mac

Hello, I keep trying to connect to my MDR-XB80BS headphones via Bluetooth on my Mac. It connects for 2 seconds then disconnects every time.

 

Anyone else run into this? Are these earbuds wholly incompatible with Macs? I notice the manual includes Windows pairing instructions but not Mac pairing instructions. If this is the case it would seem Sony could mention in the pairing article that these headphones don't work on Macs.

Hi there,

 

Welcome to the Sony Community.

 

For more details on pairing with an iOS device please see here.

 

Let me know how you get on? 

 

Best wishes,

Hey Sean, thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to connect to a Mac computer (Mojave OSX), not an iOS device.

 

Thanks.
