Bose Quiet Comfort II earbuds disconnects from iPhone

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 17.2.1 to which I connect Bose Quiet Comfort II earbuds via the Bose Music app. Lately I’ve been unable to connect or remain connected to my phone unless I remove the app and connect manually to Bluetooth settings. What is going on? Is it my phone or the Bose Music app, neither Apple nor Bose seems to have any answers.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:


  1. Begin by turning off both your iPhone and the Bose Quiet Comfort II earbuds. Turn them back on after a minute and attempt to reconnect.
  2. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, find your Bose earbuds in the list of devices, and tap the "i" icon next to them. Then select "Forget This Device." After that, re-pair the earbuds by putting them in pairing mode and connecting them through the Bluetooth settings.
  3. Ensure that both your iPhone and the Bose Music app are running the latest software versions available. Sometimes, updates can resolve compatibility issues.
  4. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone. This action will reset Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections. Reconnect your earbuds afterward.
  5. Interference from other Bluetooth devices or even environmental factors could disrupt the connection. Try using the earbuds in different locations to see if the problem persists.
  6. If none of the above steps work, try performing a factory reset on your Bose earbuds. This usually involves following specific instructions from the user manual.


Reaching out to Bose customer support or checking their forums might provide more tailored solutions or insights from others experiencing similar problems.
