I can confirm that Luke's PPA works with my Jaybird X2 on Kunbutu Xenial. A2DP was not selected by default upon connection, but it is possible to select it manually in the hardware panel in Phonon (Using kde here), and it works like a charm.
The only funny thing in my setup is that there's an extra entry for a Jaybird X2 in the audio hardware conf dialog that shows up as unavailable. I assume it's from earlier attempts at connecting before upgrading pulseaudio to Luke's version.
