Audio cuts out on far end during a call

If the person on the other end of the phone call is having difficulty hearing your voice or states your voice is cutting out, try the following: 

Check for and install any available product updates.

When the headphone's battery level is at 10% or less, a voice prompt notifies you that your battery is low and to charge the headphones. If you are on a call while this happens, your voice will cut out. Firmware update 2.0.4 resolved this issue. Make sure you have version 2.0.4 or later.

On a computer, visit btu.bose.com and follow the instructions to ensure your product has the latest features and enhancements. See Updating the software or firmware of your product.

Be sure your product is within 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth® device.

Bluetooth range is about 33' (10 m). This range can be reduced by obstacles (i.e. walls, doors, pockets, nearby Bluetooth devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.

Check the cellular reception of your phone.

A weak connection to the cell service could cause poor audio quality while on a call. Try the call again when the reception improves.

Try disconnecting other nearby wireless devices that might interfere with Bluetooth® signal.

Some wireless devices can cause interference with a Bluetooth signal. If there are other wireless devices nearby (i.e., 2.4 GHz router or cordless phone, wireless speaker adapters, home security motion sensors, fluorescent lights, microwaves, etc.), disconnect one at a time and check if the issue improves. If so, consider relocating your product or the device.

Disconnect any secondary Bluetooth devices that may be connected to your Bose Product

When in multipoint, a secondary Bluetooth device could possibly receive a text/email notification and try to broadcast audio to your product. This could interrupt the primary Bluetooth connection/audio stream which effects Bluetooth bandwidth, causing intermittent audio or sporadic Bluetooth connections.

To eliminate any interruptions, we recommend turning off Bluetooth on your secondary device which is connected to your Bose product.
