Beats by Dre Solo 2 not displayed as a Bluetooth device

Hello.

MacOS: 10.14.2

I have two devices connected to bluetooth. The below command shows one device; however, I have my Beats Solo 2 headset connected and this is not showing in the devices.

system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType | grep -E "Battery|Services"
Services: Hands-Free unit
Services: Apple Magic Mouse
Battery Level: 99%

When I look at the system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType I see the bluetooth headset in the list.

I did some research and I'm finding that people are suggesting to use the ioreg command instead of system_preferences. Also, I have a couple messages out to see if anyone else is aware of a solution. I'll update this if I find anything.

I originally was using ioreg and I found it reported different numbers so switched it in this aee5c33 commit.

I don't own any Beats so I'm sorry you're going to be on your own here.

No worries. If you want to leave this open then I'll add to it when I get more information to help you out.
