Bose earbuds won't connect to iPhone 16 Pro Max

Go to the following link and follow the instructions. It worked for me!

Clearing the product memory of paired Bluetooth® devices | Bose QuietComfort® Earbuds (2020)

Did you put them in pairing mode per the directions Bose provides on how to pair them with a new device? Also, make sure if they are still paired with the 15 Pro Max, make sure it is not close by or powered on.

I had no issues with connecting. But I feel sometimes it glitches the sound.
