Do you know how to sync up headphones with a new phone?

My sister got a new Samsung and her headphones somehow wont' connect. They are JBL and the other is Jib. They are both turned on. She said there is no pairing mode, but somehow it just linked up on her old phone. Any ideas?

You have to initiate paring from phone. Switch on Bluetooth on both devices, find the JBL LIVE headphones in Settings > Bluetooth and confirm pairing.

To pair the JBL LIVE headphones from the second time onwards, or to link them with a different device, press and hold the power button until the blue flashing light is visible.

@Coralmist you might have to physically connect a few times like this.

If you have more than one Bluetooth device and switch devices, it will forget the previously used device. So you must do part of that again.

@Coralmist Sometimes you may feel the issue in reconnecting. If you disconnect by switching off the headphone, it will be easier to reconnect it later. But if you disconnect first from phone/PC, you may need to allow connecting from phone/pc again. So it's good practice to switch off from headphone first.
