Frequently Asked Questions - SoundTrue around-ear headphones BOSE

How do I connect my Bose SoundTrue headphones to my iPhone?

Connect the smaller 2.5 mm plug securely to the left earcup. Connect the other 3.5 mm plug to the audio output jack of your iPhone. You should hear or feel a click when making these connections.

How do I answer or end a call using the headphones?

Press and release the Answer/End button to answer a call. Press and release it again to end the call. To decline a call, press and hold the button for about two seconds.

How do I control music playback?

Press and release the Answer/End button to play or pause. Press twice quickly to skip to the next track. Press three times quickly to go to the previous track. Press and hold the second press to fast forward, or hold the third press to rewind.

Why is there no audio or audio only in one earcup?

Make sure both ends of the audio cable are firmly connected. Try connecting to a different audio device. If the issue persists, check that the earcup cushions are properly attached.

How should I clean my headphones?

The headphones do not require scheduled cleaning. If needed, wipe the outer surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure that the earcup ports remain clear and that no moisture enters the earcup.

How do I replace the earcup cushions?

Earcup cushions are held by a mounting flange that snaps under 8 small tabs inside each earcup. To reattach, push the flange back into the earcup and press around the edge until it snaps into place all the way around.

How do I fold the earcups for storage?

The earcups rotate in only one direction. Gently rotate them so they fold flat. Do not force the rotation in the wrong direction, as it could damage the headphones.

Are these headphones compatible with all Apple devices?

The remote and microphone are supported by iPhone 3GS or later, iPad, iPod touch (2nd gen or later), iPod classic (120GB, 160GB), iPod nano (4th gen or later), and iPod shuffle (3rd gen or later). Audio is supported by all iPad and iPod models. Full controls may not be available for some models.

What should I do if the microphone is not picking up sound?

Ensure the headphone plug is securely connected to the headphone jack. Make sure the microphone (located on the back of the Answer/End button) is not blocked or covered. Note the small opening for the microphone.

Where can I get replacement parts or accessories?

Replacement parts and accessories, such as earcup cushions and audio cables, can be ordered through Bose Customer Service at http://global.Bose.com.
