What is included in the box?

Troubleshooting

Headphones won't turn on

Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the charging cable and check for charging indicator lights. Try a different USB cable or power adapter.

No sound or low volume

Check that the headphones are powered on and connected via Bluetooth or the audio cable. Ensure the volume is turned up on both the headphones and the connected device. If using the audio cable, confirm it is fully inserted.

Bluetooth connection issues

Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Restart the headphones. If already paired, remove 'Bose QuietComfort SC' from your device's Bluetooth list and re-pair. Ensure you are within range (approx. 30 feet/9 meters).

Noise cancellation not effective

Ensure the headphones are properly seated on your ears, creating a seal. Check that 'Quiet Mode' is selected. Update the headphone firmware via the Bose app, as software updates can improve ANC performance.

Poor call quality

Ensure the microphones are not obstructed. Check that the headphones are properly connected. Try moving to a quieter environment for the call. Update firmware via the Bose app.
