The whole bluetooth headhones situation is a little ironic.
Us Linux types remember how long it took until the MP3 patents expired for us to stop having to add non-free repos everywhere and being treated as the ugly cousin because we couldn't support such a universal codec out of the box.
Fast forward today, and we're back at square one because everyone and their mother wants some new codec to make bluetooth audio quality suck not so bad. (Bluetooth couldn't do better than SBC out of the box? really?)
The only difference between yesterday and today is that, we Linux folks are much better at quickly enabling support for proprietary codecs out of the box.
