Has anyone had problems with the headphones losing their pairing and then not wanting to re-pair?

Mine did that yesterday and I still haven't been able to get it paired again. It had been working fine the previous hunts. I'd turn on the detector, choose the wireless headphone icon, and it would pair right up. Yesterday, I did the same steps and it didn't pair......just went totally silent everywhere. The detector seemed to work....at least it gave a visual reading on the screen when I ran it over a target, but, no sound anywhere. I then restarted the detector and chose the external speaker, That worked no problem. Tried several more times to get the headphones paired again, but, no luck. Even went through the initial procedure to pair a set of headphones. No dice, I even unpaired and then tried to pair. Still no good. Headphones show a full charge just like all the other components. Any ideas before I throw this thing in the trash? :BangHead: :laughing7:

Well that sucks....
Sorry I have no solution for you. I haven't tried my headphones yet.
Good luck I hope someone has an answer for you.

Sorry to hear Cuda. I'm seeing a lot of little quarks, from software, batteries, frozen screens, paring, shaft issues, and now I see coil cover issues. I wonder if getting some wired HP's would work, maybe Tony, or I see GG has a wired set of water phones coming mid June. Hope you get all worked out.

I just figured out what the problem was. Apparently the control puck was slightly dislodged from it's mount. You couldn't see it because it was so slight, but, in handling the headphones while trying to pair it, I heard a short chirp and realized there was a bad connection there somewhere. Further handling resulted in a "click" as the puck seated again. All good now. I don't really plan on diving with this detector (although I'm not ruling that out) so, I haven't ordered the bone phones yet. I talked with Tony Eisenhower and he has some traditional over-the-ear waterproof headphones that I'll probably go with for surf hunting.

As I mentioned in my first post, everything is fully charged. Now that the puck is fully seated, the problem is cured.
