You're sure it's in pairing mode? On my XM4s pairing mode is achieved by holding down the power button for a few seconds. It'll say "pairing" in the headphones and blink red and blue IIRC.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good point. I was confused because my other headphones when they are in pairing mode a blue light flashes repeatedly, but after reading the manual for the XM5 this means that are not connected not that they are in pairing mode, and as you said for pairing mode you have the press the power button for 5 seconds, the problem is that when I do that the headphones shutdown, May be there is an option to change that, I will check it out.
Press and hold the power button when they're turned off. They should enter pairing mode a few seconds after powering on if you keep holding.
Yeah that's it! Thanks very much!
This happened to me but with a microphone, I should have a bit more trust in Linux from now on...
Did you happen to enable Bluetooth LE-Audio mode for the Headphones in an app? If so you need to turn it off.
