New bluetooth headphones only playing in mono

My new pair of Bluetooth headphones arrived today but when I paired them to my computer they will only play in mono, with Sound settings Test Speakers only showing in mono also. Also the quality of the sound being very poor when listening to music or a youtube stream. However they are fine with my television.

I am using a mini bluetooth usb adapter and the headphones are the Bluedio T2S. I am lead to believe that any usb adapter (like mine) should work fine with these.

Anybody got any ideas, would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit:I've tried that a few times setting the profile from "HSP/HFP" to "A2DP Sink"

and it still doesn’t seem to function even if I repair the device, which I have tried numerous times.

In addition, when I setup the connection using the Bluetooth Manager app and set the Audio Profile to A2DP Sink I get "Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink".
