Check the instructions for the headphones. Generally, you need to put them in pairing mode for them to show up on the Mac (might be a long press on the power button, a dedicated button, etc., and usually indicated by a blue light blinking on the headphones).


Once they're paired, they will reconnect automatically to your Mac if in range and powered on/
