pair my Bose wireless headphone with my Classic?

Hello to my all good friends and thank you in advance for all your help and patience.

I need your help with my Bose (Bose QC SC Headphones) as it is not pairing with my Classic?! it pairs easily with my U5 model not with Classic?!

I made sure the blue tooth was ON and I was even standing very close to my Classic unit but still has a hard time finding the Bose?!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

OK.. I just borrowed my kids headphones (Got them each a pair of Bose QC45 SE for xmas - from Costco)

When I initially tried, it would see them (identified as Bose QC45), but when you tried to pair, it would come back with a basic message "could not pair".

Tried 5 or 6 times.  I was about to give up, and as it was in the pairing process (just before giving me an error message), I reached towards the Classic to unplug it, to plug my X5 to it, to try also, and bingo, it actually paired.   So I don't know if it was my hand reaching close and acting as some sort of antenna, which helped, but it paired.  

I proceeded to unpair it, and tried at least 4 or 5 times, and it paired flawlessly after that.  I was quite impressed that watching some new programs, the latency was close to 0.

I unplugged the box, plugged it back in, and it was a repeat again of not connecting.. This time I just reached my hand over the box again and it successfully paired.. And then proceeded to unpair and repair with no issues a number of times..  Very strange, but I did manage to get it to pair.

Have you installed the "Bose Music" app on your phone, paired headphones and checked to see if there is any firmware update ?  Sometimes firmware update can help with connection issues.

Hello my good friend and thank you for your time.

I managed to pair to my Classic after following what you explained and after few trials, by getting my headphones close to the Classic and finally paired

The interesting part was with U5, did not have issues at all?! are there any software difference between U5+Classic that might enable U5 to pair easier?

Thanks again for your time and help.
