Check for and install any available product updates.
Product updates keep your product working at its best. To determine if an update is available, run the Bose updater. The updater will let you know if your product is already up-to-date or if an update is available. For more info, see Updating the software or firmware of your product.
Be sure the phone is not muted.
Check the phone to see if the mute functionality has been enabled. The phone and the headset each have the ability to mute a call. Check for a visual representation of the muting aspect for the phone. For more information, see Muting your product.
Make sure the microphone holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked.
Blocked microphones will cause poor sound quality for a listener on the other end of the call. The microphones are located here on each earbud:
Be sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned properly on each ear. See Wearing and adjusting your earbuds for more information.
Be sure you're wearing the earbuds correctly.
A proper fit is important for comfort and sound quality. If the earbuds are not worn properly or positioned incorrectly, audio and microphone performance may be affected. See Wearing and adjusting your earbuds for more details.
Keep your product within 33 feet (10 meters) of your personal device.
Distance and obstacles like walls, doors, or other electronics can weaken the Bluetooth signal. If you're having trouble, try moving your personal device and product closer together or relocating other devices that may cause interference.
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.
