Connecting to a mobile device
1. Slide the Power/Bluetooth button forward to the
symbol and hold it for two seconds. You hear
“Ready to connect” and the Bluetooth light blinks
blue.
2. On your mobile device, make sure Bluetooth is on.
(The Bluetooth menu is usually found in the Settings
menu.)
3. Select your BOSEbuild headphones from your
mobile device’s Bluetooth list.
The Bluetooth indicator glows solid white, and the
voice prompt says, “Connected to <device name>.”
Note: When powered on, the headphones try to
reconnect with the two most recently-connected
devices. The devices must be powered on and within
range (30 ft. or 9 m).
Using your headphones with multiple devices
Your BOSEbuild headphones can remember up to
eight paired devices and can be actively connected to
two devices at a time. If you pair a ninth device, the
least recently used device will be deleted from the
headphone’s memory.
Managing multiple connections
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.
Scrolling through other paired devices
To play music from a paired device that is not currently
connected:
1. Slide the Power/Bluetooth button forward to the
symbol and release to hear which device(s) are
currently connected.
2. Slide the Power/Bluetooth button forward again
within three seconds to connect to the next paired
device.
3. Repeat step 2 until you hear the correct device
name.
Note: To use this feature, voice prompts must be on.
Changing the headphone’s color
You can use the Color button on the left earcup to
change the color of your headphones. Use the
BOSEbuild Listen app to create your own color
presets.

color presets.
2. Press and hold the Color button for three
seconds to turn the LEDs o.
Charging your headphones
1. Plug the small end of the USB cable into the
micro-USB connector on the right earcup.

computer that is powered on.
Note: During charging, the battery light blinks amber.
When the battery is fully charged, the battery light
glows green.
Charging time
Allow up to two hours to fully charge the headphones.
Notes:
Using the colored LED lights draws battery power
more quickly than music listening alone.
A full charge powers the headphones for up to 15
hours of music listening, or up to 8 hours of music
listening with LED lights.
Listening to music at high volume levels or using the
LEDs at full brightness draws battery power more
quickly.
Battery level
Each time you power on the headphones, a voice
prompt announces the battery level. When the battery
is nearly depleted, you hear “Battery low, please
charge now.”
Indicator Lights
The Bluetooth and battery indicators are located on
the right earcup.
Once the headphones are connected, the Bluetooth
light turns o after 10 seconds. When the headphones
are powered on, press any button to view the
Bluetooth status.
When not charging, the battery light turns o after 10
seconds. When the headphones are powered on, press
any button to view the battery status.
Note: If the headphones are connected to an Apple
device, the device displays the headphone battery
level near the upper right corner of the screen and in
the notification center.
Voice prompts
Voice prompts guide you through the Bluetooth
connection process, announce the battery level and
identify connected devices. You can enable or disable
voice prompts using the buttons on your headphones.
Tip: You can also manage voice prompt settings using
the BOSEbuild Listen app.
Disable voice prompts
To disable voice prompts, press and hold + and –
simultaneously until you hear, “voice prompts o.”

prompts.

Press again to dismiss voice control.

devices:
1. Slide the Power/Bluetooth button forward to the
symbol and hold it for 10 seconds, until you hear
“Bluetooth device list cleared.”
