Issues with Bluetooth - earbuds turning off after five minutes

Hi there everyone,

I'm having an issue when using a USB BCM20702A1 Bluetooth adapter. Although I can pair (and successfully) connect to my earbuds for a few minutes, it inevitably makes the earbuds turn off due to... some reason. I've tried to install the bcm20702a1-firmware package, and I've read over the wiki countless times over this, including trying to comment out

 load-module module-suspend-on-idle 

in the PulseAudio configuration file, but I don't think it did anything.

Here's the output when running dmesg | grep Bluetooth:
