Slide the power switch to the Bluetooth symbol and hold until you hear “Ready topair” or the Bluetooth indicator blinks blue. On your Bluetooth device, turn on the Bluetooth feature. Tip: The Bluetooth menu is usually found in the Settings menu. Select your Bose® QuietComfort® headphones from the device list. If like me you have purchased a pair of Bose QC35 noise cancelling headphones and are finding your bose headphones won’t connect with the Bose Connect Windows app or pairing them with a Windows 10 laptop, and you have already tried the advice from Bose of updating the firmware on the headphones and updating your Bluetooth drivers and still no joy, this is what worked for me.
When it comes to pricey, high-end, wireless noise-cancelling headphones, Bose sets the standard. Worn by athletes, celebrities, and that guy next to you on the plane everywhere, these headphones do it all. They shut out the loud-talker on the bus, play music that sounds great, touch your ear to find Alexa or Google Assistant at your service, make voice calls, and tell the world you're doing well enough to afford a $400 pair of headphones. There's just one hitch, Bose was accused last year of spying--maybe even illegally wiretapping--users.
What could happen if something goes wrong
It's possible Bose could scoop up your information when you use these headphones and share it with others without your knowledge or consent. Bose currently is fighting a class action lawsuit for doing just that. Also, if you choose to use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant with these headphones, know too that Google and Amazon are also tracking your data.
