We hope you now know how to operate the earphone from the above Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds Manual. Want to know anything about the earphones? Do not hesitate to ask in the comments section.

  1. While running with my Apple ear pods, I can skip a song by simply tapping the left pod. What’s involved with skipping with my Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds?

  2. My left earbud doesn’t work, I got these for Christmas the left earbud worked for about an hour!!! Very frustrated with Bose! Should I return them?

    1. Even though I have manually connected the earbuds to my phone, the Bose app can’t find it. So, I can’t complete the set up, no noise-canceling, no volume control, etc. That is why I was looking for the manual online. The bus can’t be setup without the app????
      Please help.

  3. when using my earbuds for phone calls the caller or person I am calling says the connection is terrible and it sounds like I am in an echo chamber. How do I fix this.

    1. Did you ever get a reply or get that fixed – my brand new quietcomfort II earbuds anyone I talk to says cnnection is bad and they can hear every noise

    1. I have the same problem…straight out of the box and this is the story…very disappointing and frustraing

  4. Is it possible to turn off the double tap the right earbud to end a call? I use these for work and when I go to adjust the earbud, once in a while it hangs up the call I am on. Which is annoying.

  5. My Quietcomfort earbuds are stopping playing music on my iPhone 11 Pro Max after about 10 seconds or so. I change to a different song it stars playing then goes dead. I’ve not had this problem previously. Owned them for 6 months. They have been idle for about a month while I was recovering from a bad cold so they sat in the charging box unused. I just did an update through the Bose app, no change. Was thinking of just doing a hard reboot.

    Is there anything else I should try?

    Michael

    1. It looks like a firmware problem. Did you try them on another phone? I think you should contact Bose support regarding this or wait for the firmware update.

  6. My Bose QC earbuds will connect with my Android cell but they cut in & out something fierce. Cannot find a fix.

  7. disappointed with the Bluetooth connection, it can only connect to one device at a time…:( Not like the soundsport earbuds (wired) that i owned before that it can connect to both phone and the lap top..

  8. Dear team, I have some parasite noises in the right earbud in all noise cancellation modes. Dose not mater if it is full, half or off. The problem persist and after full reboot. Highly appreciate if could help me with this. Thank you in advance! K. Kosharof

    1. Yes, that parasite noise you say is called ‘white noise’ which appears when the earbuds are connected and not playing anything. It’s not common, but some TWS even from other manufacturers might have this. Sadly, this can’t be fixed and you might have to return the product and get a new one.

      1. Thank you, likely you are right! We got to the same conclusion with the costumer assistant from Bose… Whatever, thank you for trying to help me!

  9. Unable to connect my bose earphones or earplugs to my PC – could previously no blue light. they are connected to my Ipad

    1. Well, isn’t it a known fact that Windows 10 Bluetooth system is bad. Even my QCY T5 was not able to connect (pair) along with some other earbuds. Things you can do are:

      1. Try installing the Bluetooth driver again.
      2. Unpairing all other earbuds previously connected.
      3. Check if any nearby device (phone etc.) isn’t connected to the earbuds.
