I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which I have been using since 2022. Today, I was sitting on the bus when some random person connected to them and started playing Free Bird.
It was a bit funny, but I don’t want this to become a regular thing. Is there a way of locking the headphones to certain Bluetooth addresses? Or a way of making it not show up automatically on phones (similar to a hidden WiFi network)?
The headphones in question are the JBL Tune 510, which have a USB-C port. However, I don’t know if this can be used to flash firmware.
If there’s already a comment telling me to “just use wired” or something, please don’t tell me again. It’s the best solution, but my phone doesn’t have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple).
Thanks!
Is it at all common for BT headphones to be able to pair without specifically enabling pairing mode? I’ve never heard of that before.
Most headphones require you to hold down the power button when powering on to enable pairing.
