Bluetooth headphone audio controls.

[Zach_91]

When I first paired my Bluetooth headphones to my sense, I was able to control music playback from the headphones (play, pause, skip track). Since disconnecting the headphones and reconnecting, I can no longer control playback from the headphones. I repaired the headphones to the sense and it worked for the first connection, but again after disconnecting and reconnecting the controls did not work.

Anyone have any insight about getting the audio controls on headphones to work consistently with the sense? I am using the Jabra elite 75t

@Zach_91 I have Jabra 65t, and have the same issue. I do not know for the 75t, but for mine Jabra says it is optimized for mobile phones, not for computers and other devices. Wrote it off on that account, maybe it is the same for 75t?

If that's true, this is highly disappointing to me. Having to open use the watch while running to change track/ pause is highly distracting and unsafe ( I run on sidewalks and roads, need to pay attention) and I'm used to being able to control my music via the headphones. I used to run with my phone and I just got the sense so I didn't have to bring my phone on runs anymore.

Is this just an issue with Jabra headsets? Do other brands work fine?

Can I connect my Jabra Bluetooth device with a computer or softphone? | Jabra Elite 75t - Titanium B...

It may be Jabra is covering their own as.., I honestly do not know, I did not investigate it any further

It's weird that the controls work after freshly pairing the headset with the sense, but stops working after putting the headphones back in the case (disconnecting them). Thought this might be a bug?

@Zach_91 I have done some research this afternoon. I cannot get it working with Sense alone, but if I connect both my Android phone and my Jabras i can adjust volume, pause and skip to the next track.

@LokeAa  Yeah the controls work great on my phone, was really hoping it would transfer over to the sense. I tried connecting the watch to a Bluetooth speaker I have (JBL charge 3) and the exact same thing happens, the buttons on the speaker work to control music initially after pairing, but after disconnecting and reconnecting, the controls no longer work.

This seems like a software issue on the watch?
