Most Bluetooth headphones have a status update. Often when they flash blue, it means that they are in pairing mode. Some will flash blue when they are properly paired with a device. If they are flashing blue and red, then there is a possibility they are in pairing mode and are not connected to any device.

There are a few reasons why Bluetooth headphones blink. They include the following, among others;

Depending on the model, your Bluetooth headphones may blink when they are in pairing mode. This is usually indicated by the headphones flashing blue. If this is the case, all you need to do is ensure that your Bluetooth device is within range and then follow the instructions on how to pair them.
2. They are paired with a device
Some Bluetooth headphone models will blink blue, yellow, or orange when they are paired with a device. If this is the case, then there is nothing for you to do as it is normal for them to blink in this way.
3. The battery is low
If your Bluetooth headphones start blinking red, it means that their battery is running low and will need to be charged soon. This can usually be done using the included charging cable.
