I am an archlinux user using Sony WH-1000XM3 bluetooth noise-cancellation headphones. I am also using pulseaudio and it took me a while to switch the bluetooth headphones to HSP/HFP profile so the microphone can work too. Switching the bluetooth profile of your headphones to HeadSet Audio works but it is only monophonic audio and without noise-cancellation and I had to switch to piperwire also.

Imaging a work space with 15 people, how every one wants to listen to a different music/news, youtube or whatever.
That was noise - and noise is the enemy!
As for portability - we dont want to use this old hardware - was easy enough too.

Thank you.
