My Bose QuietComfort 35 bluetooth headphones disconnect after a few seconds in Ubuntu 17.10. They used to work fine under Ubuntu 16.04. After a restart, the same thing happens again. I can not reconnect the headphones without restarting.

I tried to use the solutions for the pairing problem (Pair Bose QuietComfort 35 with Ubuntu over Bluetooth), but the problem persists. Also, as far as I have seen the other questions concerning these headphones, this seems to be a different problem.
This is the result for the service bluetooth status after the phones disconnect:

  • it just suddenly worked with me, I don't know why. Maybe some update. I hope it still works with Ubuntu 18.04 when it comes out next week ;)

    @sebastian: It looks like It's not only Bose which is having a problem. My headphone was having the same issue additionally it always used to connect to HSP/HFP instead of A2DP until I restart my computer. For many days I used a workaround using a script which you can also try from here: gist.github.com/pylover/d68be364adac5f946887b85e6ed6e7ae. Later I install blueman and always used my headset to connect using it. I still don't know how it fixed the issue but I don't have to restart my system anymore.. Lol! Apr 21, 2018 at 18:46
  • I paired my device with blueman and it works fine.

What helps for me (Ubuntu 18.04) is do remove the device in the Bluetooth settings and then reconnect. After that, the connection is stable.
