FAQs
How do I switch between Quiet, Aware, and Immersion modes?
You can cycle through your preferred listening modes by using the customizable touch controls on the earbuds (often a tap-and-hold gesture) or directly through the Bose Music app.
Are the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds waterproof?
The earbuds have an IPX4 rating, meaning they are resistant to splashes and sweat. They are not designed to be submerged in water or used for swimming.
How do I customize the sound settings?
You can customize the EQ (equalizer) settings and perform `CustomTune` calibration for personalized audio and ANC through the Bose Music app on your smartphone.
What is the battery life?
The earbuds offer up to 6 hours of listening time per charge, and the charging case provides an additional 3 full charges, totaling up to 24 hours of combined listening time.
Can I use only one earbud at a time?
Yes, you can use either the left or right earbud independently for calls and audio. The remaining earbud can stay in the charging case or be powered off.
How do I update the firmware?
Firmware updates are managed through the Bose Music app. When an update is available, the app will notify you and guide you through the process.
What should I do if the earbuds feel uncomfortable or fall out?
Try experimenting with different sizes of the included ear tips. A proper fit is essential for both comfort and optimal sound/ANC performance. The Bose Music app can help you verify your fit.
Troubleshooting
Earbuds won't connect or pair with my device.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Place both earbuds in the charging case, close it for 5 seconds, then open it again to re-enter pairing mode. If issues persist, try 'forgetting' the earbuds in your device's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.
Poor sound quality or noise cancellation.
Check your ear tip fit using the Bose Music app's 'Ear Tip Fit Test' to ensure you have the best seal. Try different sized ear tips. Also, run the `CustomTune` calibration again through the app.
Touch controls are unresponsive or inconsistent.
Ensure the touch surface on the earbuds is clean and dry. Remove any debris. If the problem continues, restart your connected device or reset the earbuds via the Bose Music app settings.
Earbuds are not charging in the case.
Verify the charging case itself is charged. Ensure the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of debris. Gently wipe them with a dry cotton swab.
Voice is unclear during phone calls.
Check for any obstructions covering the microphone openings on the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are clean and properly seated in your ears. Try moving to a quieter environment to reduce background noise.

Compatibility
These earbuds are compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth audio, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smartwatches. Ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and up to date for the best connection.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the earbuds and charging case with a soft, damp cloth. For the ear tips, you can gently wash them with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reattaching.
