Using multiple Bluetooth connections | Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen)

Switching between connected devices

Your headphones can connect to up to two devices at the same time (multi-point connection) and store up to six devices in the device list.

To connect a new device, use one of the following methods:

  • The Bose app
  • Your device’s Bluetooth settings
  • Fast Pair (Android devices only)

Notes:

  • Audio can only play from one device at a time.
  • You can manage or turn off multi-point connections in the Bose app (Settings menu).
  • Turning off multi-point disconnects the second device.

Switching between two connected devices

To switch audio between devices:

  1. Pause audio on the first device.
  2. Start playing audio on the second device.

Notes:

  • The headphones can receive calls from both devices, regardless of which one is playing audio.
  • You can also switch between devices using the Bose app (Settings menu).

Reconnecting to a previously connected device

Your headphones automatically try to reconnect to recently used devices when powered on. If they don’t reconnect, you can manually reconnect using one of the following methods:

  • Bose app:
    Open the app and select your headphones. Choose the previously connected device from the device list.
  • Bluetooth settings (phone, tablet, or computer):
    Go to your device’s Bluetooth menu and select your headphones from the list of paired devices.

Tips:

  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
  • Keep the device within range and powered on.
  • If the headphones don’t appear, try turning Bluetooth off and back on, or restarting the headphones.

Try disabling the Multi-point connection in the app

If you find that notifications from your secondary device interrupt your listening experience on your primary device, you can turn off Multi-point.
In the Bose app, go to Settings>Bluetooth Connections and toggle Multi-point connection to 'off'. This will disconnect your secondary device.

Note: You will only be able to connect to one device at a time. If you want to connect to two devices simultaneously, toggle Multi-point connection back to 'on'
