I've struggled for years with bluetooth. The bluetooth stack is very complex and has issues but it gets better year by year.
Here's what I have done and it works great
- get yourself a Plugable usb bluetooth adapter (Amazon)
hot plug it, no need to reboot
find and install blueman from the repos (bluez never has worked well for me)
- power up your headphones, ready to pair
- open blueman, select devices, find your headphones in the list
- select setup, choose how you want to connect and click next
after a couple seconds, it should pair
open sound, scroll to find and select your headphones from the list
Note: You'll have to pair again and select in sound after every boot.
The blueman can not find the devices !!

Then your issues are definately deeper than a simple bluetooth manager problem. Prepare to dig deeper into the system but I'm out, bluetooth stack is too complex for me

@MenaiAlaEddine: In my case I had to to restart both, the device and the scan, multiple times. This worked with a china bluetooth receiver with a cheap USB dongle on an old PC. I didn't manage to get them to work for years now!

What is headset ?
For to speak with microphone ? Or for to listen to music ? (I am deaf Ubuntu Linuxer.)
;-)
In Ubuntu often new hardware is recognized, when hardware is at least 4 months to 6 months old (better 1 year old). Concerning music - it can be that there are additional drivers in packages rhythmbox and in amarok and after installation then hardware is recognized - like it was before with some speakers. You might try to install packages with additionally drivers:
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox amarok
And here is a different solution for additionally drivers - specially for Bluetooth and else firmware:
Additional Drivers for Ubuntu 17.10
You might configure this.
After this all perform re-boot.

I have found that a Soundbot dongle works. It reqired a reboot after insertion and was slow to pick up my headphones, but it did finally.

RTL8188EE doesn't have bluetooth
I guess the best answer comes from Linux Mint:
Re: HP Laptop's bluetooth not working
Post by JeremyB » Fri Jun 29, 2018 5:31 am You do not have a bluetooth
chipset connected, the Rtl8188ee wifi card doesn't have bluetooth
Additional reference:
The parts list for your notebook indicates that it comes with a
Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bg/n 1x1 WiFi adapter.
That is a single band, non bluetooth wifi adapter.
You can purchase a Bluetooth USB adapter for 20 bucks (CAD) :

The link says that RTL Chipset doesn't have Bluetooth built-in. But I will Google more links when I get home.

@MenaiAlaEddine I've put in another link confirming your adapter does not have bluetooth capability.

I purchasethis adapter but it still the same problem.

For example to get the adapter pictured in my answer to work you would follow these instructions: askubuntu.com/questions/406841/asus-bt400-bluetooth-adapter

after a couple seconds, it should pair
open sound, scroll to find and select your headphones from the list
Note: You'll have to pair again and select in sound after every boot.
The blueman can not find the devices !!

Then your issues are definately deeper than a simple bluetooth manager problem. Prepare to dig deeper into the system but I'm out, bluetooth stack is too complex for me

@MenaiAlaEddine: In my case I had to to restart both, the device and the scan, multiple times. This worked with a china bluetooth receiver with a cheap USB dongle on an old PC. I didn't manage to get them to work for years now!

I've struggled for years with bluetooth. The bluetooth stack is very complex and has issues but it gets better year by year.
Here's what I have done and it works great
- get yourself a Plugable usb bluetooth adapter (Amazon)
hot plug it, no need to reboot
find and install blueman from the repos (bluez never has worked well for me)
- power up your headphones, ready to pair
- open blueman, select devices, find your headphones in the list
- select setup, choose how you want to connect and click next
after a couple seconds, it should pair
open sound, scroll to find and select your headphones from the list
Note: You'll have to pair again and select in sound after every boot.

What is headset ?
For to speak with microphone ? Or for to listen to music ? (I am deaf Ubuntu Linuxer.)
;-)
In Ubuntu often new hardware is recognized, when hardware is at least 4 months to 6 months old (better 1 year old). Concerning music - it can be that there are additional drivers in packages rhythmbox and in amarok and after installation then hardware is recognized - like it was before with some speakers. You might try to install packages with additionally drivers:
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox amarok
And here is a different solution for additionally drivers - specially for Bluetooth and else firmware:
Additional Drivers for Ubuntu 17.10
You might configure this.
After this all perform re-boot.

I have found that a Soundbot dongle works. It reqired a reboot after insertion and was slow to pick up my headphones, but it did finally.

RTL8188EE doesn't have bluetooth
I guess the best answer comes from Linux Mint:
Re: HP Laptop's bluetooth not working
Post by JeremyB » Fri Jun 29, 2018 5:31 am You do not have a bluetooth
chipset connected, the Rtl8188ee wifi card doesn't have bluetooth
Additional reference:
The parts list for your notebook indicates that it comes with a
Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bg/n 1x1 WiFi adapter.
That is a single band, non bluetooth wifi adapter.
You can purchase a Bluetooth USB adapter for 20 bucks (CAD) :
