I have ubuntu 18.04 and it does not detect my Samsung Level U headset. Although it has no trouble detecting my phone and other devices.
I'm sure the headset is working and discover-able because i'm using it with my phone.
Tried to use this:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
Discovery startedAnd my device is not there. I also tried scanning with Blueman but it also won't find it.
My Laptop is Acer Aspire VN7-592G.
Any idea about this problem? Thanks!

This worked for me:-
- switch on the Bluetooth on your laptop and headphone
- press the pairing button(it's present below the volume keys) on your headphone
- for a few seconds you should be able to see the name of your Bluetooth device on your laptop
- connect it
I assume you have installed Blueman.
sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
killall pulseaudio Reboot, try Blueman again.
