Unfortunately, Bluetooth on windows laptops, especially corporate laptops have been a problem forever. I hope Bose tries to do something about it. But the real issue is most people just blame the headphones because that makes sense and we don’t assume the possibility of windows being an issue. A solution to your problem: You can get a USB Bluetooth dongle from Amazon or local electronics store and then pair your headphones to it. That should work seamlessly.

Can Bose headphones connect to a TV

Yes, Bose headphones can connect to a TV like most other headphones. If the TV has built-in Bluetooth capability, put your headphones in pairing mode, then go to your TV’s Bluetooth menu and find and connect the headphones. If your TV doesn’t have Bluetooth functionality, you may be able to connect your headphones using a Bluetooth Audio Adapter.

Can Bose headphones connect to an Xbox?

Bose headphones cannot readily connect to an Xbox due to Microsoft opting for an Xbox-specific frequency for connecting controllers and headsets instead of the standard Bluetooth protocol. As a result, the console only works with headphones that support this frequency.

The situation is the same for the Xbox One, Series X, and Series S. Thankfully you can avoid this problem with a Bluetooth adapter or connect your Bose headphones to your TV.

r/bose on Reddit: How in the world can you connect Bose QC Ultras to Windows?
December 23, 2023 -

I picked up a pair of QC ultras today for gym use to replace my AirPods Pros. I'm about to return these things. Seriously, what is it with Bose and the WORST bluetooth experience on the planet? Soundlink is awful with bluetooth as well.

They're working fine with my phone, but I'm wondering how I can connect them to my PC. Entering pairing mode via the button on the right cup, it'll show up under bluetooth devices on my PC, but refuse to connect. Entering pairing mode via the "add device" option in the Bose app on my phone, it'll connect as "LE- Bose QuietComfort Ultra" as an other device and not a selectable audio device. I cannot output any audio to them this way. I have been spamming the bluetooth button on the right cup, constantly listening to that stupid cello sound, and listening to the atrocious AI voice spell out my PC name over and over but no luck.

It's not mandatory that I get them working with my PC, but I'd like to. I typically use Hifiman HE400i w/ FiiO E10k DAC, but my gf games next to me sometimes and she uses a Bose Soundlink for audio. Open back headphones with the background noise isn't the best, so I'd like to be able to use ANC with the QCs sometimes.

Any suggestions?

Hello superuser99999,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

According to your description, it seems that your Bose QuietComfort 45 headset device is not recognized by Bluetooth in Windows 10, and it will not be displayed in the list, right?

Please check if your computer can be paired with other devices via Bluetooth, such as mobile phones, other Bluetooth headsets, ipads, etc. This is to confirm that the Bluetooth function is currently working properly in your device.

If you find that your computer cannot recognize any Bluetooth devices at this time, there is a problem with the Bluetooth function of your computer.

Although you are indicating the driver is up to date here, I recommend that you visit your device's manufacturer's website to re-download and install the appropriate Bluetooth driver. Also, I recommend downloading several versions of the driver, as the latest one is not necessarily the best match.

If you find that other devices can normally match your computer via Bluetooth, only the Bose QuietComfort 45 can not, and your Bose QuietComfort 45 can match other devices, in my opinion, your computer and headphones are fine, but maybe there is a compatibility failure? However, I still recommend you to follow the following process to take a look:

  1. Go to Windows 10 "Bluetooth & Other Devices" settings.
  2. Under "Audio Devices" | Remove "Bose QuietComfort 45" or "Unspecified Device".
  3. Under "Other Devices" | Remove ALL "LE-Bose QuietComfort 45" devices (You might see two in the list, both said 'Paired').
  4. Turn off Bluetooth | Turn on Bluetooth.
  5. Enter Pairing mode in Windows 10.
  6. Enter Pairing mode on Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones.
  7. Connect to "LE-Bose QuietComfort 45" bluetooth device. (After this you should see another Bluetooth device appear called "Bose QuietComfort 45")
  8. Connect to "Bose QuietComfort 45" bluetooth device.

If you followed these steps correctly you should be good to go now. The headphones should show up as "Bose QuietComfort 45" and say "Connected voice, music".

But if you still can't pair it with your computer device after you've done all this, contact your headset's after-sales support to see if they can help you more.

Best regards,

Mitchell - | Microsoft community support expert from MSFT
