I've installed 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3~xenial1 from testing PPA and it partly fixed the issue.
My headphones are Plantronics BackBeat PRO. A2DP works perfectly fine when connection is initiated by linux machine, but when it's initiated by headphones, when they turn on, there is no sound.

I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all. This thread seems to be related, though the workaround within did not solve the problem for me: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194006 The bug is still present in 16.04 LTS and 16.10.
