They just want you to buy new products
Bose is terrible. The app is terrible. They don’t support older products that are really not that old. They just want you to buy their newest products instead. Long time Bose customer. I have given up and gone to other better brands. Rhymes with Oh No’s and sheets.
Useless with an iPhone
Every time i turn the headphones on they connect to my Mac.
1. Ok so i toggle the connection to Mac off. Next time i switch the headphones on, it still connects to the Mac! And it makes the Mac connection the active one.
The Mac is switched off and nothing is playing on it.
2. Say I'm listening to a book. The next time i put the headphones on, it will play music from the Mac (or it will play nothing) even though the last thing i did was listen to a book on my phone.
3. I'm connected to my phone. I play the book on the audiobook app. I pause it using the headphones. I play it using the headphones. It does not play the book! It just drops my phone at every possible opportunity.
4. Noise cancelling switches off when I'm in calls. That's the most useless noise cancelling I've ever heard of. And no it's not how Bluetooth works because it works as expected on an old windows 10 laptop - when I'm in calls, the noise cancelling is exactly the same as when I'm not in calls on the windows. So it's technically possible but regressed for newer devices/ios.
"TOTAL CONTROL" - I'd love SOME control. At the moment, i have very little control over what will play out even if it will play!
Very frustrating as it used to work perfectly and now it's just badly designed connections!

Headphones won’t connect
The app is a very clunky way to have to connect my headphones. I’ve always hated it. But now that the headphones are out of a warranty, they won’t stay connected more than a few seconds. So it’s expensive garbage. I won’t be buying Bose again.
expect better from Bose
Half the time app forgets about my headphones and have to go through a whole rigmarole of setting them back up and reconnecting them with everything. It shouldn’t require an app and a phone to switch between quiet/aware modes on headphones. They should be self contained.
Awful
The multipoint connection handling is awful.Attempting to switch from one to another is virtually impossible from the app. Whatever settings chosen is reset when exiting.
