User Manual Bose 857628-0010 SPORT OPEN EARBUDS

No. Bone-conduction technology delivers vibrations directly to the inner ear, bypassing the eardrum. While this can be effective, it requires a tight fit between the bone-conduction device and your head and has significant sound quality limitations. Bose Sport Open Earbuds are different. Instead of sending sound waves through your bones, they use proprietary Bose OpenAudio™ technology to deliver rich, full-range sound while minimizing sound that others can hear, and they do not require a tight fit.

No. The wireless connection for Bose Sport Open Earbuds is Bluetooth only.

The Bluetooth connection for Bose Sport Open Earbuds has a reliable range of up to 30 ft (9 m). Performance can be affected by obstacles such as walls or metal, interference from Wi-Fi® or other wireless devices, and device manufacturers’ Bluetooth implementations.

Bose Sport Open Earbuds can be connected to one device at a time but can keep track of the last seven devices they have been connected to, dropping the least recently used when a new one is paired.

When in Bluetooth mode, Bose Sport Open Earbuds search for and connect to the most recently connected active Bluetooth-enabled device. If that device is unavailable, Bose Sport Open Earbuds will attempt to connect to the next most recently connected device.

If you wish to connect to another device, you should hold the right bud button for 3 seconds until you hear “Ready to connect” and the status light slowly blinks blue.

Yes. There are microphones for making and taking phone calls or accessing a phone’s default voice assistant like Siri or Google Assistant. It works much like the microphones found on most Bluetooth wireless headphones, designed for excellent ambient and wind noise suppression.

An incoming call can be answered and ended by pressing the right earbud button once or declined by double-pressing the right earbud button.

An outgoing phone call can be placed by pressing and holding the left earbud button to access the phone’s voice assistant and placing a call via voice control.

Press and hold the left earbud button to access Siri on an iOS device or Google Assistant on an Android device.

To power on the Bose Sport Open Earbuds for the first time, press the button on the left earbud, then press the button on the right earbud. The earbuds will turn on, pair with each other, and enter Bluetooth pairing mode. The status light will slowly blink blue, which signals it is ready to connect. From this point, you can connect using the Bose Music app or your device’s Bluetooth settings page.

After initial setup, powering on the earbuds is as simple as pressing just the right earbud button. If left inactive, the earbuds will turn off on their own to save battery life, but you can also turn them off by pressing and holding the right earbud button for one second.
