Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 | No audio from product

Bluetooth® operation is disabled while charging.

The headset begins charging when connected to a charger or powered USB jack. While charging, Bluetooth functionality is disabled. To play audio from and/or pair Bluetooth devices, disconnect the headset from the charger once it is sufficiently charged.

Alternatively, you can listen to audio while charging the headset by using the supplied backup audio cable.

Swipe up on the volume touchpad 2-3 times

The headphones have a volume level memory for each source. If the volume has been turned down previously with the audio cable connected, it will stay that way until it's changed. Swipe up on the touchpad a few times to increase the volume of the audio cable connection. Then, increase the volume of the connected device.

If adding a device to Windows 10, be sure to connect to the Bluetooth® device with the headset or speaker icon.

In Windows 10, your product shows up twice in the Bluetooth device list: once with a device icon and LE before the product name and once with a headphones or speaker icon. Select the option with the headphones or speaker icon. Do not select the LE listing.

Tip: If you already paired to the device icon, just connect your product again and choose the listing with the headphones or speaker icon. For more info, see Connecting a Bluetooth® device.

Try connecting the device with the included audio cable.

Note: When the audio cable is connected to the headphones, Bluetooth® functionality is disabled.

Connect the smaller end of the audio cable to the jack at the bottom of the left earcup

Try a different app.

If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.

Determine if the issue occurs with another Bluetooth® device.

The source device currently paired to your product may be causing the issue. Try pairing a different Bluetooth source to see if the issue is isolated to that device.

Clear your product's memory of previously paired Bluetooth® devices, then reconnect.

Your product remembers the last several devices it connected to so it can quickly reconnect to them. In case of an issue with the device memory, clear it, then reconnect your device. For more info, see Clearing the product memory of paired Bluetooth® devices and Connecting a Bluetooth® device.

Remove your product from the memory of the Bluetooth® device, then try again.

In the Bluetooth settings of the Bluetooth device, find the list of previously connected products. Remove your product from the list, then reconnect it to the device. For more info, see Connecting a Bluetooth® device.
