To connect Powerbeats Pros to Linux (Pop!_OS/Ubuntu 20.04):

Temporarily reconfigure bluetooth to set its controller mode to BR/EDR:

1. Edit the config:

sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

2. Uncomment the line:

#ControllerMode = bredr

3. Restart the bluetooth service:

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

You should now be able to pair. If GNOME gives you issues, try the bluetoothctl command-line app.

Once you pair, reset the change.

PS. Mic doesn’t work.
