Hi Luke, I did a clean install of Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 just a few days ago. With the Ubuntu-provided Pulseaudio packages, my Plantronics BackBeat Go 2 (PLT_BBTGO2) bluetooth headphones would connect and then disconnect. I have now added your PPA and confirmed that the headphones connect and stay connected. Oddly enough, the headphone profile was set to "Analog" by default. Upon clicking the dropdown to select the profile, "Analog" was not an option, and it immediately auto-selected HSP/HFP. I then changed it to A2DP and I was able to hear nice, high quality audio through my headphones! :)
Unfortunately, after turning the headphones off/on, the headphones immediately reconnected and defaulted to the A2DP profile, but there was no sound. I then changed the profile to HSP/HSF and heard low quality audio. Changing back to A2DP resulted in silence. I toggled between the two profiles a few times and the issue persisted. I then powered off/on once again, and this time I was able to properly select the A2DP profile and hear perfect audio! So, the connection issue seems to be fixed (for me, atleast)! There seems to be something that is a little bit strange with the audio profile selection, although there may be some user error involved here. I'll try and repeat my power cycling tests a few more times and see if the issue is a software problem or a user problem.
