My Sony WH-1000XM3 stuck with the Handsfree profile when reconnecting after suspend. The high-quality Headset profile was unavailable. Running this script fixes the issue.

This is a fork of @egelev's script which I modified to make it work with PipeWire. Kudos to the original author for working out the solution.
