Operating the Headphones
Noise Cancellation Modes

Toggle between these modes using the button on the left earcup or through the Bose Music app. The app also allows for custom modes and a Wind Block feature.
Audio Playback and Calls
Use the buttons on the right earcup to control playback (play/pause, skip tracks), adjust volume, and manage calls. The integrated microphone ensures clear communication.
Adjustable EQ
Personalize your listening experience by adjusting the bass, mid-range, and treble settings via the Bose Music app. This allows you to fine-tune the sound to your preference.
Multi-point Connectivity
The headphones can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Use the multi-point toggle feature to seamlessly switch between connected devices without needing to disconnect and reconnect each time.
Wired Connection
For situations where Bluetooth is not available or preferred, connect the included audio cable to the 3.5mm jack on the left earcup. This allows for wired listening, even if the headphone battery is depleted.
