    Hello, i've cancelled the RMA, as i was able to pair the headset with the Meta Horizon app.
    The answer was to disable all the bluetooth devices in my home (PC, smart home, etc).
    And to temporarily disable all the bluetooth devices my smartphone was paired to (headphones, smart watch, etc).
    The more you are connected, the more i recommend going stone age, at least during the pairing phase.

    I honestly don't know which one did the trick, but as i was pretty sure that the wifi was OK, that the bluetooth was enabled on my smartphone and OK, that the headset was itself OK (i saw it half-working with the PC Meta Quest Link), i cornered the issue to some weird software or bluetooth issue.

    As i've never seen recommandations as precise about bluetooth, i hope this post will at least save some headaches to future users ...
