  I have a Sennheiser MM 450-X headset.
  
  In 15.10, connection & playback was straightforward.
  
  In 16.04, the headset connects, and shows up as default playback device
  on `pavucontrol`, but there is no sound.
  
  A functional workaround is to, after having connected it, to go the
  `Configuration` tab, and in the `Profile` dropdown, to choose `...
  HSP/HFP`, which will make them play as expected (but in low quality),
  then switch to `... A2DP Sink` (they will play in high quality).
