How do I put my Bose Quietcomfort 35 in pairing mode?

Answered by Robert Flynn

To put your Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones in pairing mode, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Power/Bluetooth button on your headphones. It is usually located on the right earcup. The button has the Bluetooth symbol (a stylized “B”) on it.

2. Slide the Power/Bluetooth button towards the Bluetooth symbol and hold it there. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Ready to pair” or the Bluetooth indicator on the headphones will start blinking blue. This indicates that your headphones are now in pairing mode.

3. On your Bluetooth device (such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer), enable the Bluetooth feature. The steps to do this may vary depending on your device, but generally, you can go to the settings menu and look for the Bluetooth option. Turn it on.

4. Once Bluetooth is enabled on your device, it will start scanning for nearby Bluetooth devices. Look for a device named “Bose QuietComfort 35” or something similar in the list of available devices.

5. Select the Bose QuietComfort 35 device from the list on your Bluetooth device. Your device will attempt to establish a Bluetooth connection with the headphones.

6. If prompted, enter a PIN or passcode to pair the headphones with your device. The default PIN for Bose headphones is often “0000” or “1234”, but it might vary. Check the user manual or Bose website for the correct PIN if needed.

7. Once the pairing process is complete, you will hear a voice prompt or see a notification on your Bluetooth device confirming the successful connection. The Bluetooth indicator on the headphones may also turn solid blue.

Congratulations! Your Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones are now paired with your Bluetooth device. You can now enjoy wireless audio playback and other Bluetooth features with your headphones.

Note: If you’re having trouble pairing your headphones, make sure they are fully charged and that you’re within the Bluetooth range of your device. Also, check if your device’s Bluetooth is enabled and not connected to any other devices. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact Bose customer support for further assistance.
