Try using Bluetoothctl command from terminal. Personally been having connection issues a lot before but it always worked when I tried using Bluetoothctl and not through KDE.
If I remember correctly it's done this way :
bluetoothctl
power on
agent on
scan on
# (wait for the headset to appear, then use its MAC address in the next command)
connect <MAC_ADDRESS>
trust <MAC_ADDRESS>
Some Bluetooth devices are just problematic. If you want to just get some info on what the issue is, have a look here: https://www.baeldung.com/linux/bluetooth-via-terminal
What happens when you try? I truthfully don’t have too much insight to offer, as my only set of Bluetooth headphones connect without issues and they are not the same as yours.
Not too much really. I pair it, but after the initial pairing it is not connected, so I try to connect it. The connect button changes back and forth to disconnect and connect a few times and then it's still not connected. The only thing I noticed is that KDE does not display it as an Audio Device, but as Other Device. My speaker is detected as an Audio Device.
I am using Fedora KDE and yeah, the Bluetooth headset does some weird shit sometimes, but generally connects and works. And yeah, my Bluetooth mouse works just fine. IDK if it's specific to Fedora or KDE or Linux in general tho
