As David said in post #34 there appears to be a number of bugs going on here.
I've not had any trouble pairing and connecting my BT headphones (Motorola S805) 'out of the box' but it simply won't route the output to them even manually through Sound Settings. I've tried a number of the solutions posted including those of RazTaz, Marcin and Mr Lee, all to no avail. This is the first release since Feisty Fawn 7.04 (at least) that I haven't been able to get them working. I use a BT USB dongle that still works in Windows XP and 7. Even so my post #36 would suggest Ubuntu now sees this as a hardware issue in my case with the messages: Apr 29 09:06:52 Voyager kernel: [ 2013.010319] Bluetooth: re-auth of legacy device is not possible.

I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the audio preferences. When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output). I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04. This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
