I just bought myself a pair of headphones (maker logo looks like OJX) that is supposed to work with Blutooth. Pairing with my smartphone went almost automatically.
I am using LMDE6, where Blutooth is enabled, but opening the dialog shows, that "Devices" is greyed out. The headphones do not show up there nor in the "Sound" setting (unless I connect them with a cable).
Is there a simple way of having the headphones connect, or is this just another of "those things"?
Looking through this forum I tried a number of commands to check the status etc., but as far as I can tell, there is nothing to indicate some major problem.
Thank you.

Re: Connect headphones via Blutooth
Would maybe one of those "dongle" things they sell on Amazon help/work?
