Ok, I did all that. Here's the result of the last command:

Exiting bluetoothctl

I would use bluetoothctl to see what is going on
In terminal

Code:

bluetoothctl
remove 88:C6:26:C2:89:A1

Put the headphones in pairing mode and then back in terminal

Code:

pair 88:C6:26:C2:89:A1
trust 88:C6:26:C2:89:A1
connect 88:C6:26:C2:89:A1
exit
./a2dp.py

See if any errors appear or if it works now

Put the headphones in pairing mode and then back in terminal

I'm having the same problem I tried every code above nothing works, maybe I missed something or my peripherals is not known for https://www.jbl.com and https://www.dossspeakerbluetooth.com ? I'll try to double checked it again and comeback here If I got some good results.
