I have the Willful MX BT 5.0 headset. I use it primary for video calls on my Windows 10 computer (Lenovo). I’ve used it for about 7 months without any lasting trouble although I have had to reset it a few times. I do not connect it to any other devices because I don’t want to “confuse” the bluetooth connection. Now suddenly it will not reset to the computer. I have followed the instructions here, have restarted the computer and the headset, gotten to the flashing-red-and-blue pairing stage and waited for MX Headset to appear … but the computer finds only the MICROPHONE version of MX, NOT the audio input. I need to receive audio via the headset! Any help?
I have problem resetting my Pioneer SE-S3BT. Any suggestion on how to do that? Thanks

I have a pair of COWIN E7 bluetooth over the ear noise canceling headphones. Recently, they stopped working with my Android box and my Samsung TV. It says they are paired but I cannot connect with the devices. I love these headphones, they have a great sound with deep bass. I keep getting a message “cannot connect with E7”.
I have a Vtech IS6100 Bluetooth headset which used to be paired with my old Vtech landline phone system. I inadvertently discarded the landline phone system without first deregistering the headset. I purchased a new AT&T landline system (which I believe Vtech actually manufacturers and should be compatible with the IS6100 headset), but I can’t seem to register the IS6100 with it because it is still registered to the old (now discarded) Vtech landline system. How do I deregister or reset the IS6100 so I can pair it with the new AT&T system?
