Well I found a work around for Manjaro/Arch linux... Hope this helps you guys on Ubuntu. I had rebooted into my original install ISO USB drive to check something unrelated and decided to try the BT Headphones on the live ISO, and it all works perfectly! I can walk between rooms and the A2DP works perfectly! So what I did was downgrade my Bluez & Bluez-libs from 5.44 to 5.41-2 and all is good in the bluetooth world!
