Why Does My B&O Balance Take So Long to Connect? Fix Bluetooth Pairing Issues
I dusted off my long-neglected speaker, only to be utterly perplexed by what happened next.
After pairing via Bluetooth, it bizarrely only played radio stations! Music apps like NetEase Cloud Music and KuGou remained silent while my phone stubbornly kept blasting tunes through its tiny built-in speakers.

I wrestled with this mystery for what felt like ages, scouring the internet for answers.
Then, buried in a forum thread’s comments, I struck gold—tried the solution and boom! It actually worked! [Tears of joy emoji x3] The relief was so overwhelming I nearly cried.
Shouting out to that brilliant internet stranger by sharing their fix here—may it rescue others from similar frustration.

That said, I’m officially swearing off B&O for life. What a headache! Even compared to speakers in the same luxury price range, literally any other brand offers smoother connectivity. [Facepalm emoji x3]
