Thanks! Using ATH-M50xBT headphones I had to extend that last sleep with one second because it could not get the index in 3s.
I have the opposite problem, I have a mono headset, which connects as A2DP by default... would love if the default was HSP.
Seems many have had this issue: https://github.com/valderman/bt-reload-headphones

This is the problem I'm also having in Fedora 32. I'm assuming that's because the underlying issue has not been addressed, merely the default connection has changed to anger the other half of users which depend on using their microphones.
I wasn't able to find a discussion about this on the bluez (linux-bluetooth) developers mailing list, but maybe someone else will have better luck: https://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth
Or wants to subscribe and raise the issue:

Thanks for this script!
For my Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless & on Ubuntu 20.04, I had to bump the sleep time between connect and set_profile to 6s. Works great then!
This is amazing, thank you
Maybe pop up a way to donate you a coffee!
Hey Egelev,
I wanted to congratulate you on your awesome code. I looked through it a bit after I made this comment, and decided my comment was silly. Your fix worked until I rebooted my Gnome on Arch box. I eventually just gave up and switched to xfce and it just works now.
This whole thing has kind of showed me the holes there are in the current Gnome environment.
Gracias, con este script porfin logre hacer funcionar mi WH-1000XM4!
Strangely I get this in Xubuntu 18
"connect_bluetooth_headphones.sh: 3: connect_bluetooth_headphones.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
Any idea why?

Hi @drakakisgeo.
This is unexpected behavior. Is your default interpreter bash?
Can you please share the output from
$ bash --version
I use GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu).
GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) is what I get.
But also SHELL=/usr/bin/zsh so I ran it with bash. Thanks! Let's hope that will fix my issue :-)
I tried to run the script in order to fix the configuration for Bose QC35 headphones. The script resets the Bluetooth module but nevertheless I can't get stereo quality. By default, the option Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP) is selected. If I select High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink), nothing happens. I would appreciate if anyone suggested a way to fix the issue.

@Miuler te funcionan como HSP/HFP? Es decir el micrófono también? Tengo el mismo headset y sólo me lo reconoce como A2DP.
Does it work with the HSP/HFP profile? Is it recognized as an input device? I have the exact same model of headset and it is only recognized as A2DP in my case.

The problem might be the Bluetooth profile and how the Sony Headphones present themselves to the Ubuntu system. Have a look here :).
Nice script. Many thanks!
No matter what I do (the order of turning headphone pairing on and turning bluetooth on, or leaving bluetooth off, etc.), I get the following messages in Ubuntu 20.04 when I run the script:
You need to specify a profile by its name.
Bluethoot headphones profile off
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# disconnect
Missing device address argument
[bluetooth]# quit
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# connect
Missing dev argument
[bluetooth]# quit
You need to specify a profile by its name.
Bluethoot headphones a2dp_sink
The headphones are Sony MDR-ZX780DC and they work just fine on iphone. (I did turn iphone bluetooth off)
Does anyone have any suggestion?

Hello @leka0024.
Can you please provide the output of the following command: pacmd list-cards | grep bluez_card -B1 -A50 ?
If it is OK, it would be helpful to execute it twice:
- when the headphones are not connected
- when you connect them through the Ubuntu UI (don't pay attention to the profile - HSP/HFP or A2DP)
Thank you.

Hi @egelev ,
Nothing returns with the pipe'd command you suggest. If I just run pacmd list-cards I get this info:
1 card(s) available.
index: 0
name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic>
driver: <module-alsa-card.c>
owner module: 23
properties:
alsa.card = "0"
alsa.card_name = "sof-hda-dsp"
alsa.long_card_name = "LENOVO-82HS-IdeaPadFlex514ITL05-LNVNB161216"
alsa.driver_name = "snd_soc_skl_hda_dsp"
device.bus_path = "pci-0000:00:1f.3-platform-skl_hda_dsp_generic"
sysfs.path = "/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/skl_hda_dsp_generic/sound/card0"
device.bus = "pci"
device.vendor.id = "8086"
device.vendor.name = "Intel Corporation"
device.product.id = "a0c8"
device.string = "0"
device.description = "sof-hda-dsp"
module-udev-detect.discovered = "1"
device.icon_name = "audio-card-pci"
Is that helpful?
When I have turned Bluetooth on in the Ubuntu settings, it can never see my headphones (turned on, in pairing mode, and iphone bluetooth off), so I don't believe it has ever "connected".
Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi, @leka0024. Thank you for the info. Unfortunately, it looks like this is another issue. This script only changes the profile from HSP/HFP to A2DP once the headphones are successfully connected. I am sorry, it looks like some sort of incompatibility issue.
Does someone has the problem that the Headset Mode is working but on A2DP no sound can be heard? It was workings since i upgraded to 20.xx but since one week or so i have problems again. Removing and Repairing does sometimes fix the issue.
WH-1000XM3, newest firmware.
i am unable to as well on Linux Mint 20.1

This may or may not resolve your issue. I've found that on first connect it will not work with the headphones. I've had the Sony WH-1000xm3 and xm4's. My current simple fix is to connect the headphones, disconnect them and reconnect. Then click on the speaker icon and choose the applications tab and select the sound output to be the headphones. This is not a great work around, but it's the best that I've been able to come up with.
I've tested this on Ubuntu, mint and Mx Linux.
Does this work with Pipewire ?
thank you so much !
worked for me on Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon and Sony WH-1000XM3 headset .
happy new year !
Hi Emil. I happened to find your script just today ... and I love it!, very useful. Thank you! ( :

I'm glad it is still useful :).
Thank you very much for this - worked perfectly out of the box with my Bose QCII Headset on Ubuntu 22.04.
Thanks, worked for me!
Thank you @egelev for the script. I changed it to make it wotk with PipeWire. You can see it here: https://gist.github.com/tbulligan/b92e85a6e89e218d711a97cfa38f855e
Hi @fospald.
I was pretty annoyed too. It really wonders me how some people are able to communicate with a rover on 225 million kilometers (the average distance to Mars) and the most popular open-source OS can not handle 10m Bluetooth audio connection :D.
However, I have to admit that the guys from Canonical are doing a good job. I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.4 which was released on 12 Feb 2020 and my headphones work properly now. According to the release notes they have provided a fix for this particular issue.
I regularly use Sony WH-1000XM2 and Boltune ANC 2019 and they both work properly. I haven't experienced the sync audio problems you mentioned so I'm not able to share any experience here. However, setting the profile to 'None' and then back to 'A2DP' can be done with the helper functions of this script.
All the best :).
