Chromecast with google tv can't pair with bluetooth audio devices

I just got a new Chromecast with google tv (HD) and I think it was android out of the box, only got 2 updates each ~80MB when I first turned it on.

I wanted to connect a bluetooth headphones, when I try, I only get a few seconds of "Pairing" and then it says "Couldn't pair" I made sure that the headphones is in pairing mode. It connects with my phone, laptop without any problems.

I tried a bluetooth speaker I had lying around as well but had the exact same problem.

Not all bluetooth devices do that, as I tried my bluetooth mouse, and it was successfully paired.

I tried restarting the heaphones (Anker soundcore life Q30) and CCwGTV, tried to factory reset both devices with no luck. Tried changing chromecast port, same results.

Is there anyway I can debug this problem, anyone with the same problem, any official solution or a way to check if my devices are even compatible with the chromecast?

Okay so today when I opened my chromecast, tried to pair the headphones one last time out of despair, it worked! Absolutely no clue why. But I'm happy it paired.
