have you tried unparing and paring again?

[dire belfry]

yes

[inner arrow]

scan on
remove XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX # if it had already been paired
trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

try this

Did anything work?
If not,
I'd advice to remove that device, then turn visibility (of the system) (if you're using KDE) On if it's currently not, just before, then only you scan, pair, connect and trust the device.
Reboot the system, I wish it to work for you.

Hey there try these:
@dire belfry
Check Bluetooth adapter status:

bluetoothctl list

Remove and re-pair the device by typing the following commands in bluetoothctl;

pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ```

(replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with the Bluetooth address of your headphones) 

Restart Bluetooth service: 

```sudo systemctl restart bluetooth ```

Check logs for errors: 

```journalctl -u bluetooth ```

Update blueZ and blueZ utils: 

``` sudo pacman -Syu bluez bluez-utils ```

actually the problem is fixed (kind of)

everything is working normally on my new headphones

but not on my old headphone
