FAQs

How long does the battery last?

You can expect up to 24 hours of playback with noise cancellation on, or up to 18 hours when using TrueSpatial features.

Can I use these for phone calls?

Yes, the headphones feature improved call processing to reduce background noise and ensure your voice is heard clearly.

What does ActiveSense do?

ActiveSense monitors sudden, loud noises and automatically adjusts the noise cancellation levels to ensure they are less jarring when you are in Aware Mode.

Are these headphones waterproof?

No, the QuietComfort headphones are not waterproof. Keep them dry and away from heavy rain or swimming environments.

Can I connect via wire if the battery dies?

Yes, you can use the provided cable for a wired connection, though specific electronic features like active noise cancellation may require power.

Troubleshooting

Headphones will not connect to a second device

Ensure that Multipoint pairing is enabled in the Bose app and disconnect the primary device before initiating a new pairing sequence.

Audio sounds distorted when using USB-C

Check that the USB cable is securely plugged into both the device and the headphones, and ensure your audio source is set to the correct high-bitrate output.

Battery is draining faster than expected

High-battery features like TrueSpatial audio consume more power; try disabling this feature when you need to extend the 24-hour battery life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, download the Bose app to manage your firmware updates and customize your noise-cancellation levels. The headphones use standard Bluetooth pairing for wireless operation; simply hold the power button to enter pairing mode. When not in use, store the headphones in the provided protective case to maintain the shape of the synthetic leather ear cushions. To clean the exterior and cushions, use a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning fluids, as these can degrade the synthetic leather over time. Ensure the USB-C port is clear of debris before charging to maintain a secure connection.
