Change Bluetooth Headphones defualtdefault audio mode (A2DP Sink vs HSP/HFP)

I have Sony WH-1000XM2 Bluetooth 4/.1 headphones (with profiles A2DPprofiles A2DP, AVRCPAVRCP, HFPHFP, and HSPHSP) which work with Ubuntu .

However, they constantly connect to the PC in the headset mode with crappysubpar mono audio. For proper high def stereo, I must:

  1. Turn on headphones, wait for them to pair (auto connects to headset mode)
  2. Disconnect the headphones using Blueman-managerBlueman-manager
  3. Reconnect to the headphones specifying the High Fidelity Playback Audio Profile.

When I try to change profiles while connected I get the Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink. Funnily enough it can change from a2dp to hsp/hsf just fine...

Is there a way to configure this Bluetooth device to auto connect to high fidelity playback?

Multiple searches for a solution on the web have found nothing useful.
