Disconnect any secondary Bluetooth devices that may be connected to your Bose Product

When in multipoint, a secondary Bluetooth device could possibly receive a text/email notification and try to broadcast audio to your product. This could interrupt the primary Bluetooth connection/audio stream which effects Bluetooth bandwidth, causing intermittent audio or sporadic Bluetooth connections.

To eliminate any interruptions, we recommend turning off Bluetooth on your secondary device which is connected to your Bose product.

Check for and install any available product updates.

On a computer, visit btu.bose.com and follow the instructions to ensure your product has the latest features and enhancements. See Checking the software or firmware version and Updating the software or firmware of your product.

Be sure your product is within 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.

This range can be reduced by obstacles (e.g. walls, doors, appliances, wireless devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.

If you're experiencing intermittent audio during phone calls, check your cellular reception.

This issue may be caused by a weak connection to the cellular network. Enabling Wi-Fi calling in your phone's settings while connected to your home network can help, or you can try the call again once the reception improves.

Try playing different types of media.

Different media types might produce different quality sound. For example, Podcasts, music stored locally on your phone, MP3s, streaming music services (Spotify, Pandora), videos on your device or stored in the cloud, etc. can all vary in quality. Try different media to determine if the issue is specific to certain media.

Try a different app.

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

Reset your product.

Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more information, see Resetting your product.

Try connecting a different Bluetooth device.

If your Bose product can connect to another device, Bluetooth functionality is working. In cases like this, the issue could be with the first device or its settings.

Try disconnecting other nearby wireless devices that might interfere with Bluetooth® signal.

Some wireless devices can cause interference with a Bluetooth signal. 
Common examples include:-
  • 2.4 GHz router
  • cordless phone
  • wireless speaker adapters
  • home security motion sensors
  • fluorescent lights
  • microwaves
  • wireless mice and keyboards
If there are such devices, disconnect one at a time and check if the issue improves. If so, consider relocating your product or the device.
