You can use the command bluetoothctl to work with Bluetooth devices in GNU/Linux.

I bought a pair of wireless bluetooth earbuds, model TWS88.

# Scan for device

To actually send the sound to the earbud:

$ bluetoothctl connect 2D:E8:33:77:F4:AC

If hcitool lists your device but bluetoothctl doesn’t, then you could try:

$ bluetoothctl
