Hi,
I'd like to add to this that installing the bluez-firmware on an up to
date Buster installation (10.2) does not fix it, just like Malvin
points out. My hardware is looking for A1 instead of A0, but the issue
is the same.
Dmesg:
$ sudo dmesg |grep BCM20702A1

For me as well, following the instructions on
http://plugable.com/2014/06/23/plugable-usb-bluetooth-adapter-solving-hfphsp-profile-issues-on-linux
fixed this issue.
Thank you
