It is obviously more complicated that I realised.Perhaps I should give up and stick with wifi or cable.

Hi George,Out of interest what version of Mint was that? I'm running 18.3 - Sonya - and had no trouble at all; I just installed Blueman, plugged in my USB adaptor, turned the headphones on, and went through the wizard to pair them. Bearing in mind it was only a whim that made me even try it, I had it working inside five minutes.
