Bluetooth headphones: Bose AE2w failed to pair

Hi! I'm a ower of a bluetooth headphones / headset, Bose AE2w. I can not pair with the headphones.
I'm using blueman-manager to pair. The headphones are detected but not connected. The message is: "Device Added successfuly, but failed to connect". Then, the only error that I can see is: "Connection Failed: DBusFailedError: No such file or directory..."
I do not know how to pair the headphones / headset.

Re: Bluetooth headphones: Bose AE2w failed to pair

I had a very similar issue. If your system uses pulse audio for sound, I may have a clue to the problem.

Read my previous post. I think it may be relevant to you:

Hi,
Some time ago, my Bluetooth headset used to work fine with my Arch install consisting of gnome-de , pulseaudio and blueman. But around 16 May it stopped working properly. The connection would get established with the headset and then immediately disconnect. I didn't try too hard to diagnose the issue.
Today, when I read the news about Pulseaudio split , I suspected my issues might have been due to this.
When I checked my installed packages, it did not have the pulseaudio-bluetoth package installed. Installing the package and restarting magically solved my problem.
Thought I'll share this so others with similar situation might be helped.
Cheers

Please let me know if it works or not.
