First off, I verified that my headphones are in pairing mode.

Trying to connect them via the Bluetooth GUI, the Settings gets stuck and is not responding. Therefore I decided using the bluetoothctl tool and followed the steps of this thread with no avail:

Attempting to pair with 04:8C:9A:EF:8C:93
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationCanceled

Maybe this log will help: using the sudo systemctl status bluetooth I get:

I've had the same problem with Ubuntu 20.10 I followed the instructions here to reset the earphones https://forum.huawei.com/enterprise/en/huawei-freebuds-lite-right-bud-not-working/thread/632973-891 basically keeping the button pressed for 10s. and then re-pair them

now they work

I have FreeBuds 3 earphones and they couldn't pair with Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS either.

I reset the earphones (push pairing button for 10 seconds with phones in the case until color led starts to blink).

Then I removed the earphones from the registered bluetooth devices in Ubuntu with the

bluetoothctl remove [MAC]

command, where [MAC] is the earphone's MAC address. It can be checked beforehand with the

bluetoothctl devices

command. After these I switched off and on both my earphones and bluetooth in Ubuntu and paired them from the bluetooth settings GUI.
