How to Pair Bose Headphones in Windows

Here’s the easiest and fastest method for connecting your Windows PC to a pair of Bose headphones wirelessly.

Can I Update My Bose Headphones on Windows?

There’s an app available on Bose’s website for updating Bose headphones, speakers, and other devices via a Windows computer. Unfortunately, this method is notoriously buggy and often doesn’t work for users. If you can’t get the Windows app to work, a far faster way to update your Bose headphones is to use the Bose Connect app, which is available on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. This official app can download and send updates to your Bose headphones wirelessly and doesn’t require any cables.

Why Won’t My Bose Headphones Connect to My Laptop?

Many issues could be preventing your Bose headphones from connecting to your laptop or computer, such as Bluetooth conflicts, uncharged batteries, and Windows pairing errors. Fortunately, there are many ways to fix headphones when they stop working, and finding the problem usually only takes a few minutes of testing.

Can I Use Bose Headphones for PC Gaming?

You can use Bose headphones to listen to whatever sound is being made on a PC, whether it’s from a TV show, a YouTube video, a song on Spotify, or even a video game. It is worth keeping in mind, though, that Bose headphones do tend to have a slight delay when connected wirelessly, so gamers will want to use the aux cable wired connection so that the audio properly syncs. Something else worth mentioning is that only some models, like the Bose Quiet Comfort QC35 II Gaming Headset or Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, features a microphone. If you want to do voice chat while playing a video game on your Windows PC with a pair of Bose headphones, you’ll either need to invest in this particular model or use a separate microphone.
