Beats Studio wireless bluetooth headphones wont pair w/ ubuntu 14.04

[aljosa]

I have Beats Studio wireless bluetooth headphones and when adding device (pair bluetooth device) it wont pair w/ ubuntu 14.04 system.

Closest thing I've found is this:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=379126

It looks like it's working on ChromeOS so I'm hoping it's possible it will work w/ ubuntu.

I can confirm that there is an issue with the Beats headset. I have the Beats Studio Wireless headset, and it pairs just fine with my Android phone and with a coworker's Windows laptop. However I am having problems connecting it to Kubuntu 14.10. When I run `hcitool scan` the headset is sometimes found, sometimes not (most often not). I often run the scan a few times, then when the headset is found I connect via Bluez.

Of course, the problem might be with the Bluetooth dongle, this is the dongle that I am using:
Bus 002 Device 010: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Hello,

I would like to confirm that this issue is also present on the lastest ubuntu release.

I try to connect Beats Studio 3 in different ways and it doesn't connect.

Thanks.
