bluetoothd unable to connect to earbuds: br-connection-unknown

Recently I've been trying to connect to my bluetooth earbuds. However, any time I try to connect to them, I am treated with a br-connection-unknown. I wasn't sure what the issue may be say I searched around, updated my packages, downloaded pulseaudio-bluetooth, but nothing.

After running journalctl, I was treated with several error messages which I am not sure how I should respond to:

It does mention that the device is busy, but I turned it on without being connected to anything. Any clue what the error messages could mean in that case?

Re: bluetoothd unable to connect to earbuds: br-connection-unknown

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=270465 suggests a myriad of solutions. I had a similar issue awhile ago and it was tied to power management.
