On my XPS 13, I am baffled on how to pair my QC35s. They appear in the list, but when trying to pair Ubuntu just says "Failed to pair". No logs in /var/log/syslog and I'm stumped.
Thanks for the help

From Manual: Slide the power switch to the Bluetooth symbol and hold until you hear “Ready to pair” or the Bluetooth indicator blinks blue - then try to pair. If it fails remove device and try again.

Thanks but that doesn't solve the issue is with Ubuntu. The headphones pair fine with my phone – Ray Booysen Mar 17 '17 at 18:35

This may or may not solve the problem. It relies on bluez, so if it is not of any value, please tell me, and I'll remove the answer.
Launch bluetoothctl
$ bluetoothctl
Setup bluetooth
> agent on
> default-agent
> power on
> discoverable on
> pairable on
Setup scanning (at this point, turn on your headset and setup it up to be discoverable)
> scan on
Wait about 30 seconds or so, and type
> devices
Make a note of the MAC address of your headphones.
Copy the MAC address of your headphones, and type
> pair <MAC Address>
If it says at the bottom of the output "Pairing Successful", type
> trust <MAC Address>
And finally
> connect <MAC Address>
Hope that helps :)

1It says connection successful on the laptop, but then it's not detected as a sound device. The headphones also don't pick up that it's paired. – Ray Booysen Apr 09 '17 at 06:22

Now you need to setup the audio sink. That's a bit beyond me I'm afraid. It's got more to do with pulse audio and bluez. Good luck though. :) – AnotherKiwiGuy Apr 09 '17 at 08:58
