If your Sennheiser Bluetooth headset won't pair back to its dongle after a firmware update, you can try one of the following quick resets.

Note: All of these headsets are now discontinued, so we don't have much more information outside of the article. However, these instructions should get you what you need!

  1. Switch the Headset OFF. To do this, turn the earphones so the headset is flat as if it's going back into its case. It will say “Power Off"
  2. Press the Effect Mode button for 4 seconds. This is the bottom button on the right side of the headset. (the inside of the headband will have R for right and L for left)

Note: after holding the button down for 4 seconds, it will not give us any light or say anything. To see if the reset worked we can try pairing the headset to the phone again.

If none of the resets work:

  1. Check to see if you updated the dongle only or dongle and the headset. If you did dongle only, you will need to do the headset, too
  2. If you did update the headset too, you can pair the headset to a mobile device (such as a cell phone to see if it will pair properly without the dong. If it will, the issue lies with the dongle. If the headset also won't pair to a cell phone, then the issue is following the headset
