Fix JBL Live Free 2 Not Pairing Issue

If you have followed the above steps and are still facing pairing issues, and you cannot connect your JBL Live Free 2 to your device, and you want to fix the JBL Live Free 2 not pairing issue, then follow the steps given below.

Charge Properly JBL Live Free 2

Sometimes, when you charge your JBL Live Free 2 , only one earbud charges while the other does not. For example, if the right earbud charges, the left one might not, or vice versa. Sometimes, neither earbud charges. Your earbuds will neither turn on, nor enter into pairing mode and you will face a pairing issue.

In such cases, I suggest putting the earbuds back into the case and charging it again for a while.

Make sure they are charged completely before pairing them again. Hopefully, the sound will start coming through your earbuds, and they will begin to pair properly. 

Keep in Range

If your JBL Live Free 2 headphones are not showing up for pairing, one possible reason could be that your headphones are not within the range of the device you want to connect to. 

Try keeping your headphones within range of the device to ensure they start showing up for pairing. If they are not within range, they will not show up. Therefore, keeping them within range is the best way to pair them properly.
