Setting the adjustable Active Noise Cancellation mode

Noise cancelling reduces unwanted noise, providing a clearer, more lifelike audio performance. You can choose between two pre-configured noise cancelling modes — Quiet or Aware — or create up to two of your own custom modes. Choose your noise cancelling mode based on your listening preferences and environment.

• Quiet - Full noise cancellation with Bose-optimized audio. Allows you to block out distractions using the highest level of noise cancellation
• Aware - Full transparency with Bose-optimized audio. Allows you to hear your surroundings while enjoying your audio
• Custom - Custom noise control (noise cancellation or wind blocking) based on your listening preferences and environment. You can create up to two custom modes using the Bose app . To access this option, tap Modes on the main screen.

NOTE: By default, the headphones power on in Quiet Mode. To set the headphones to power on with the last mode used, use the Bose app . You can access this option from the Settings menu.
