Hi, don't know if those who are using the z8 found this issue. My box takes lots of time to connect to a bluetooth headphone. Tried with my quiet comfort bose and also with my airpods. It seems box doesn't see my bluetooth device and sometimes it takes about 15-30mins for the device to see me bluetooth and to sucessfully pair it. Anyone has a solution pls?

Tested few minutes ago my HolyHigh in ears: From taking the in-ears from powerbank/case (automatic pairing between them), connecting with Z8 and loading MOL2 until first sound trough in ears, 15-20 sec. In ears off, box changed after 2-3sec. to normal tv speakers.
Take out the in ears again from the case (box know now the in ears and connect automatically) and sound came after 6-7 sec.
I would say works great. The airpods will be tested later.

Will try again tonight. Both my qc bose and airpods are finding issues to connect. Box doesn't find them. Then, after lots of tries, box manages to find the device and to connect with it.

Connect with airpods was not successful. Will forward this to Formuler.

By any chance, do you have anything plugged into the USB ports while trying to pair?
-
Yep, I have my usb air mouse. Why?

If you're still having issues pairing the Bose headphones, it could be due to interference from the USB accessory.
You could try to unplug the USB accessory temporarily and pair the headphones again to see if the time to pair is improved.

Not working for me either using Beats 2 bluetooth. Just sits there doing nothing.

No success with AirPods version 1 too. I put them in pairing mode, but the Formuler continues “searching devices”.
In formuler z7+ I can connect them successfully.

developers are aware of the issue and are looking into it.

Achieved to pair with AirPods v1 (don't know why, but it works…)
Nevertheless I noticed 2 main problems :
1. Putting volume to the max sound is too low in the AirPods, and no possibility to go up.
2. If your AirPods are paired with your iPhone + your Formuler Z8, next time you will get them out of the box they will connect to your iPhone directly and not to the Formuler. And no chance to press on "connect" button in the Bluetooth section in the Formuler, there is only "dissociate" as an option, therefore much room for improvement regarding Bluetooth headset management in the box.
For the rest, the box is really amazing.

I just purchased a pair of Taotronics TT-BH046 Bluetooth headphones for use with my Formuler Z8 and I’ve also also noticed that the maximum volume available when connected is not sufficient. I’ve tried using volume boosting software solutions from the Playstore but it seems to lead to a strange echo effect occurring on the audio and there’s no equalizer on the Formuler iteration of Android 7.0 to correct it.
I’ve also noticed that there is some weird lip syncing issues mainly on MyTVOnline 2 where it’s fine initially when it loads but goes out of sync when you change the channel. I’ve also noticed this lip sync issue on Kodi, too. Strangely, YouTube seems to have no sync issues.

Try uninstalling the headphones and install them once again. This has happened to my bose too and then I reinstalled and all was fine.

I tried that many times. Still had inadequate volume and sync issues with MyTVOnline2 and Kodi.

Try also to install Audio Optimizer from Market and execute, reboot the box later.

Yes, it was one of the 1st things I tried a few weeks ago and have tried it a few times since. It reboots your system and there's sync issues and an inadequate maximum volume persists.

I tried connecting my taotronics bluetooth 5.0 transmitter and receiver to my formuler and it can find it in pairing mode but it won't connect. Keeps saying connection failed not paired. It did once when I first got it but then I had to recharge the BT adapter and it hasn't connected since
