Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my Bose headphones disconnect when my phone goes to sleep?

Android battery optimisation is the most common cause. Disable it for the Bose Music app, and check that Bluetooth scanning and background app restrictions are not affecting the connection.

My Bose QC headphones drop connection in certain rooms — is that normal?

Rooms with many appliances, microwaves, cordless phones, or dense Wi-Fi networks create higher Bluetooth interference. This is environmental and will improve when you move to a less congested area.

Can Bose headphones connect to two devices at once?

Yes — Bose QC45 and newer models support two active Bluetooth connections. Manage them in the Bose Music app. Note that two simultaneous connections can occasionally increase drop frequency.
