Pairing Powerbeats Pro headphones with Ubuntu 19.10

Question

I am attempting to pair my Powerbeats Pro headphones with my Alienware m15 laptop running Ubuntu 19.10. I have been able to pair the headphones with the Windows 10 installation on the laptop, the only issue pairing comes with the Ubuntu distribution. Any recommendations on how to proceed?

Solution

Can you see your headphones when you turn on bluetooth on your laptop? If so, open a terminal and execute

    bluetoothctl

Then use scan on and devices to scan for and show device respectively.

Locate your headphones and then use pair followed by the address of your headphones to pair. After that you should be able to use the gui to connect to your headphones.
