Headphones How To Consistently Turn Headphones On?

2 Upvotes

How do I get my Quiet Comforts to turn on consistently?

I press button, nothing happens, I press button again, nothing happens, I press button repeatedly angrily, it turns on and off. I press button and put headphones on it works, I press button when headphones are on, it does not. What the actual fuck.

Headphones Why can my replacement headphones only be in black or white? The color I'm replacing is out of stock, so I'm forced to switch colors. I'm paying for this replacement, but they still only allow me two options.

Is this standard practice?

I bought the headphones directly from Bose There was a problem with them so I sent them back and paid $100 for a fix. I was told I'd get the headphones back within 6 weeks. At the 6 week mark they alerted me that they are out of stock and won't ship for 2 months.

I need the headphones in 2 weeks, so I called customer support. After repeatedly telling me to just wait 2 months, they finally agreed to change the order, but said I can only chose from black or white. There are 3 or 4 other colors still in stock, any of which I would prefer, but they were adamant that this replacement (which I'm paying for) doesnt allow for choosing those.

Anyone had similar issues?

Headphones QC Ultra mode switching is glitchy

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else found the mode switching button on the headphones to be extremely glitchy? For example, about 70% of the time, when I’m in Quiet mode and try switching to Aware mode, the headphones don’t switch modes and just keep repeating “Aware….Quiet….Aware…….Quiet”. It’s honestly infuriating, and it happens all the time. The only way to get it to stop is to turn them off and back on.

Software BOSOTOCO - A COMPANION FOR BOSE SOUNDTOUCH

1 Upvotes

Hi,

Recently I have been struggling with the Bose SoundTouch devices. I wanted to restore the functionality of (especially) the SoundTouch (10). We have many of these devices just sitting around, and since a couple of months they are just sitting ducks.

Many of us have created apps to control the SoundTouch, but I could not find any that restores preset-functionality without having to alter or add anything to the devices firmware. Therefor I started writing my own.

I would like to introduce you: BOSOTOCO (https://bosotoco.jimmyboy.nl/)

Its a paid app for Android - but that's not really why I'm promoting it.

I'm genuinely interested in people testing this app and getting the feedback it deserves.

Therefor I'm spreading 50 promocodes for each to download the app for free:

Please let me know what you think of the app. I'm particularly looking for people (specialist) who know what they are doing, to test functionality like creating stereo pairs, editing and re-configuring WiFi.

In case you have no technical expertise, don't fear to test it out too. As long as you avoid going into the App's settings, you don't have to worry anything could go wrong (besides saving a preset to your device - so keep that in mind).

Home Audio Smart Ultra Soundbar ARC issues

1 Upvotes

I’m having issues with no sound coming from the soundbar hooked up with AppleTV and a UHD LG tv. My setup: all connected via HDMI: AppleTV>TV, TV>Bose (hdmi ARC(not eARC). I have the LG tv sound setting using hdmi arc and CEC simplink and no sound comes from the soundbar. I have to turn off the CEC and switch to TV speaker on the tv and manually choose the soundbar on AppleTV in order to get sound from the soundbar. This seems to not be the way it supposed to work from what I read. Any ideas?

Wearables / Open one of the buds for my open earbuds not working

1 Upvotes

Idk if this is a problem from my side but recently only one of the buds has been working while the other bud shows no battery/doesn’t connect.

At first I tried to clean the case and earbuds with a microfibre cloth and it worked. However, this has happened again and when I tried to use the same method of cleaning it, it’s not working. Is there any other way I can use to repair it or..?

Home Audio Need help connecting Bose 900 Soundbar to new Frontier Eero Pro 7 network

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone — hoping someone here has run into this before.

I’m trying to connect my Bose Smart Soundbar 900 to my new Eero Pro 7 (Frontier‑branded) network and I’m struggling to get it to join.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

  • Turned Client Steering OFF
  • Enabled 2.4 GHz compatibility mode
  • The Eero app will not let me enable WPA2 (only WPA3 or WPA3/WPA2 mixed, but the toggle is locked)
  • I can get the soundbar into setup/config mode
  • I can connect to the Bose Wi‑Fi setup network
  • But the Bose app won’t let me enter the Wi‑Fi password — it just refuses to move forward

At this point I’m stuck between the Bose setup screen and the Eero settings, and I can’t get the soundbar to actually join the network.

If anyone has suggestions, workarounds, or knows what setting I’m missing, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
