Hey, I spent a few hours trying to get those headphones working yesterday. Everytime I selected HFP on Ubuntu 20.04 the selection just went blank. Any tips greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I have those headphones too, and they work very well with Linux. Actually, they work even better than Windows since Linux can be convinced to send LDAC instead of aptX. I do that using pulseaudio-modules-bt [0].

If you're into listening to music, you may be interested in AutoEQ [1]. Those guys have done some measurements and provide info on how to equalize the sound. For this particular headset, it's somewhat less boomy. You can use PulseEffects [2] to control equalization.
