My wyze headphones worked for a couple of weeks but now will not turn on. The charging light turns green and then I disconnect the power cable and press the power button but they don’t turn on. I have held down the ANR button for 7 seconds and then tried the power button but still they don’t turn on. I have also tried holding the power button down for several seconds but nothing. Using app on iphone 12.

Wyze is sending me a new set. It appears this issue means you have a defective pair.

I am having the same problem. I have not used my headphones for a while. I have charged them, light green. No response from the power/bluetooth butten. No lights.  
Also what is the ANR button I assume that the hold the button for 7 seconds is a reset, but where is the button. I cannot find the Quick Start Guide that came with the headset and it is not on the Wyze website. I am very disappointed. I also was not able to get them to connect to bluetooth on my Windows 10 laptop. I am very disappointed.

I had the same issue and was able to fix it myself. I took apart the right earcup. First by [pulling off the ear cushion](https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050327251-Are-the-headphones-ear-cushions-replaceable-). Then there are 4 small screws to get into the housing. There are two boards inside, a larger one and much smaller one just above. I removed this top one (two even smaller screws) which contains all the switches including the power button. I discovered that the headphones would turn on if I pressed the switch by itself.

I’m not sure if the external button was off axis and not actually activating the power switch or what exactly was wrong. I did add a piece of paper between the switch and button as a shim in case a gap between them was the problem. They are consistently working now. I will update if it stops.

I tried clicking the Noise Cancellation button on the left cup and the power button together until the power LED blinked once. Then I turned it on as usual and it started working normally.  
(Before I tried this, I had tried a continuous 15 seconds press on the power button. Not sure if that helped)

This just happened to me too. The headphones worked fine for a few days before dying. I disassembled the right earcup and confirmed that the switch is working using an ohmmeter. 7 second push on the ANR button does give me one flash on the LED, but other than that the headset is dead. I contacted Wyze support and they offered a refund in the form of a gift card because they’re currently out of stock, but I opted to wait for a replacement since I bought them on sale.
