On Pairing Sennheiser’s MM200 Bluetooth Earbuds and the HTC Magic

Ok, so this is another one of those “I spent hours searching for this answer and stumbled upon it out of sheer luck” posts that hopefully will help someone else.

Do you have the Sennheiser MM200s? Do you have an HTC Magic (or any Android device)? Are you having issues getting the two of them to play nice and pair? If you answered yes to these questions, then I have your solution.

First, the solution:

1) Turn the receiver on by holding the Play/Pause centre button.

2) Hold either the left or right button till you see the LED start switching between blue and red.

3) Your phone (or laptop or whatever) should now see the device and be able to pair with it. (NOTE: The passcode is 0000)

Now why would I need to post the solution to something that should be obvious? Well I blame it on poorly written documentation. The quick start guide only specifies holding down the Play/Pause button for five seconds (which coincidentally if you followed their instructions and charged the device before hand, turns the device off). Once the device it turned on however the pairing keys change. Starting to see how this could get confusing?

Well, I hope that this has helped on your quest to use what incidentally is a great pair of headphones.

Cheers!
