Using multiple Bluetooth connections

Multi-point is a feature that allows your product to connect to more than one Bluetooth device. This is useful to switch between two smartphones without disconnecting and reconnecting each time.

Managing multiple connections

When powered on, the headphones will automatically connect to the two most recently connected devices. When two devices are actively connected, you can play music from either device. To switch between connected devices, pause the first device and play music from the second.

Switching between connected devices
To play music from a device in the headphone memory that is not currently connected:
  1. Slide the power switch all the way to the right to the Bluetooth® symbol and release to hear which device(s) are currently connected.
  2. Within three seconds, slide the power switch all the way to the right to the Bluetooth symbol and release again to connect to the next paired device.
  3. Repeat step 2 until you hear the correct device name.

Try disabling the Multi-point Connection function in the Bose app.

Notifications and other Bluetooth communications from a second connected device may interrupt or interfere with your listening experience from your primary device. To prevent this from happening, you can turn off the Multi-point Connection function so that only one device connects to your headphones or earbuds.
  1. In the Bose app icon, select you headphones or earbuds.
  2. Tap on the Settings icon in the upper-right corner, then select Bluetooth Connections.

  3. If the setting is enabled, as shown above, tap on the toggle switch to move the switch to the left which will disable the function.
When the Multi-point Connection function is disabled, you will only be able to connect to one device at a time. If you want to connect to two devices simultaneously, re-enable the Multi-point Connection function.
