I can confirm that ubuntu 16.04 LTS is exhibiting this behavior with three separate bluetooth headsets (JABRA REVO 2.0, Sony MDRXB950BT, and Sennheiser Urbanite XL WIreless).

14.04, 14.10, 15.04, and 15.10 all worked quite well with no additional configuration necessary. By "worked quite well" I mean I could pair all three headsets, they would remain paired through reboots, and I could get A2DP output from each.

On 16.04, in both gnome and unity, it is a hit or miss affair of pairing any of these headsets. I have a Dell XPS 15 and had zero problems prior to installing 16.04.

I used the procedure in post #5, but that does not persist after reboots. I have to unpair the headset completely and then repair in order to get sound. Even then it's hit or miss, sometimes it doesn't work.

I'd be happy to give more details to help resolve this.
