I’m unable to bluetooth pair with some headphones both with the UI and MAC address in the terminal. I get the following with bluetoothctl:
[bluetooth]# pair EC:A7:20:22:12:8A

I also tried changing ControllerMode settings in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf without any difference.
The headphones have a GAP profile if that’s of any interest.
