Hi,

I purchased a pair of beatsx headphones specifically for the ease of use I came to love from my airpods, as I previously owned a pair of cheap 20 $ wireless earphones that were an absolute pain to pair every time I wanted to go for a run.

Turns out the beats x are in no way better!
Each and every time I wanna go for a run I have to re-pair and "forget" them several times on both the phone and the watch, until finally some music will start to play from them. Before that, the watch tells me at least a dozen of times, that the headphones are not available, even though I see them in the menu, and sometimes even after they appear as being paired in the bt menu.

It's so frustrating, especially since the airpods seem to work so much better.
Anyone has made a similar experience and knows how to solve this?
 
Just saw this post today or would have replied sooner. It's suppose send to be rectified in Watch os 4, but if you're on 3, just put the watch into airplane mode and then out of it again. She merging about doing this resets the connection and allows me to connect with my beats x and my AirPods without having to repair.
