Has anyone had luck connecting BT headphones?
If so, what works? Did you do anything special to get it to pair?
Also, after disabling BT from the panel app, it cannot be re-enabled without rebooting.
You could be missing the package pulseaudio-module-bluetooth . It isn't included by all distros. I know at least the first couple Manjaro releases lacked it.
Install that package and reload pulse audio (or maybe just restart?)

Note: for pairing to succeed, pulseaudio-bluetooth must be installed first.
Try the performance cpu governor. It's set to ondemand i think by default and it may not be aggressive enough to deal with things like youtube.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, no changes. This likely is a software/tuning issue since my headset works flawlessly with the same hardware running the Android 7.1 image. Nevermind youtube, simply testing the headset from the audio panel also stutters.
