There are no adjustable tone controls on your Bose product.
Equalization, like bass or treble, is not adjustable on your product. You can try adjusting equalization on the connected device, if available. Try adjusting in small increments and check if the audio sounds better or worse to you. (Note: Greater adjustments can also impact volume level, which could create distorting or crackling audio.)
