I have the following earbuds model: Panasonic Wireless Bluetooth in-Ear Headphones with Sound Mic Controller & Quick Charge Function Blue (RP-HJE120B-A)
Here's my macbook Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,4
System Version: macOS 10.14 (18A391)
I am trying to pair my earbuds following the directions in the manual, but to no avail. I've paired them with my phone, but I know that that isn't interfering (I turned bluetooth off on my phone. I also tried to delete the file at /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
also no go. Any suggestions? Other devices like computers pop up and my UE MINI BOOM speaker is showing up in the menu (though it's already been paired).

I tried a PRAM Reset and it seemed to work for me. Other things you can try are
tail -f /private/var/log/system.log
If you see something like the following in your log, then likely the PRAM reset will helpcom.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.preference.sound.remoteservice[4642]): Service exited due to SIGKILL | sent by com.apple.preference.sound.remot[4642]
sudo mv /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/BluetoothAudioPlugin.driver ~/Desktop
sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/BluetoothAudioPlugin.driver /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/
