Title:
  Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the
  higher-quality A2DP profile

Status in PulseAudio:
  Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Kubuntu 17.04
  Bluetooth device: https://smile.amazon.com/VicTsing-Wireless-Waterproof-Hands-Free-Speakerphone/dp/B074DX13T1 (itentifies itself as "C6")

  The above Bluetooth speaker paired and started streaming audio
  perfectly in Kubuntu 17.04. But the audio quality was poor, because
  the default audio profile was the low-quality HSP/HFP one. When I
  switched it to the A2DP profile, it sounded perfect again.

  Can we make A2DP the default playback profile for Bluetooth audio
  devices?
