Thanks to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/2084963/comments/4 I've been able to manually rebuild the bluez debs with a patch of commit https://github.com/bluez/bluez/commit/366a8c522b648f47147de4852c5c030d69b916b3 and my headphone connection woes have been solved. I'll attach the patch here.

These headphones pair without trouble to a MacBook Pro and an Android phone. Step to reproduce: 1. Put the headphones into discovery mode. 2. Go to Settings -> Bluetooth and connect to the headphones. 3. Reboot the laptop. 4. Go to Settings -> Bluetooth 5. Click on the headphones. 6. Try to connect to the headphones. 7. If step 6. fails try to disconnect. 8. Go to step 6. Expected result: After step 6 for headphones to be connected and for headphones to announce "Bluetooth connected". Actual result: Sometimes the "connected" slider slides back to unconnected. Sometimes the slider remains "on" but the headphones don't announce that they are connected and no headphones appear in sound settings. How reproducible is the problem: Fairly reproducible. It can sometimes takes 30 or more connection attempts before a real connection is established.
