Bluetooth headset only plays sound in mono

My brand new JBL Bluetooth headset only plays sound in mono.

Resetting Bluetooth in an attempt to fix it doesn't help - all Bluetooth services go off and the headset is no longer in the list of sound devices. I have to do a full computer reset to get Bluetooth working again.

This is on Ubuntu 16.04.

What else can I try?

By accident I found that if I remove the headphones from the Bluetooth device list before shutting down the computer and then add them again after it is turned on it gives me both profiles and I can select the stereo profile and it works fine.

If I don't remove the headphones before shutting down then I have to remove them and then reboot. Not the best solution but it does work.
