Several people have had similar issues. Sometimes, removing 
/etc/bluetooth/link_key works since it resets the pairing. Sometimes it 
doesn't help at all.

Is it true that the failed attempts are all on dualboot machines that 
have used windows to pair to the headset? Maybe the headset remembers 
the bdaddr but gets confused by the fact that the stored credentials 
under linux don't match the last pairing in windows. That's about the 
only idea I've had on it and I don't see much discussion here about 
what's going on...

Some headsets remember multiple pairings. Does yours have a reset, 
something more drastic than just putting it in pairing mode? My iTech 
set has a reset but I've come to believe they put that in there because 
the headset completely locks up and becomes unresponsive on occasion :(

Brad
