FAQs

How do I update the software on my headphones?

Can I use these headphones while they are charging?

It is recommended to stop playback while charging for safety, though the device will generally function once it has sufficient power.

Are these headphones water-resistant?

The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are not rated as waterproof or water-resistant; please keep them away from rain or heavy moisture.

Does the spatial audio work with all content?

Spatial audio enhances all stereo content, but the effect is most pronounced on content mastered for multi-channel or immersive formats.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life varies based on volume levels and usage of noise cancellation features, generally providing up to 24 hours of playback.

Troubleshooting

Headphones will not pair with a device

Ensure the headphones are in pairing mode by holding the power button until the Bluetooth light blinks blue, then clear your device's Bluetooth history and try again.

Audio sounds unbalanced or distorted

Open the Bose app and re-run the CustomTune calibration, or check the EQ settings to ensure they have not been set to extreme values.

Noise cancellation feels ineffective

Check that the ear cushions are properly seated on your ears and that no hair or accessories are breaking the seal; clean the exterior microphones of any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your headphones, download and install the Bose app on your smartphone to initiate the pairing process and perform initial firmware updates. The app is essential for unlocking the full suite of features, including CustomTune calibration and EQ adjustments.

For daily maintenance, wipe the plush ear cushions with a dry, soft cloth to remove skin oils or dust. When not in use, store the headphones in the provided protective case to prevent scratches to the polished metal components. Avoid exposing the electronics to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, as this may degrade the battery life and the sensitivity of the noise-canceling microphones.
