Bose QC II earbuds are not my favorites, but I do like some of their features, especially their world-class noise canceling. I tend to use them mostly when traveling. The fit and stability they provide are amazing, the sound quality is above average, and the Bose Music app offers numerous advanced features you won\u2019t find in budget earbuds. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/span>the reason I don’t use them often is that they have too many flaws for such an expensive pair of earbuds<\/b>. At least in my opinion. First of all, their mic quality is not on par with <\/span>AirPods<\/span><\/a> Pro or <\/span>Sony WF-1000XM4<\/span><\/a>, which are also cheaper than Bose QC II. <\/span><\/p>\n

Second, they tend to misbehave and have glitches more often than other high-end earbuds. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s the case with my earbuds only, but according to online posts on various forums, I’m not alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

For example, my Bose QC II buds would <\/span>start to cut out for no apparent reason<\/span><\/a>, even though the distance between my phone (which was in my pocket) and my earbuds (in my ears) was less than 4ft. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once I restart the connection or reset the earbuds, things would return to normal, but after a few days or weeks, the problem would come back. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, I experienced another issue with my Bose earbuds – <\/b>one side simply stopped working for no apparent reason<\/b><\/a>. The left one, to be more specific. <\/span>I tried the usual tricks (restart, reset), but I wasn\u2019t able to bring it back to life. <\/b><\/p>\n

So, I started researching the issue and found out that <\/span>this happened to many users before<\/span><\/a>. Bose even posted official <\/span>troubleshooting tips for Bose QC<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Bose QC II earbuds<\/span><\/a> on its support page. Manufacturers don\u2019t post these types of guides unless there\u2019s a significant number of users complaining about the same issue. <\/span><\/p>\n

While reading through forums, I managed to find the solution that worked for me \u2013 it was a simple issue with Bose\u2019s In-Ear detection<\/b>. The sensors that were supposed to register when I put the earbuds back in my ears stopped working and wouldn\u2019t un-pause the music. I just disabled in-ear detection within the app and restarted the earbuds. <\/span><\/p>\n

To make the whole troubleshooting process easier for fellow users, I gathered all the fixes found on online forums (Reddit, Quora), the official support page, and YouTube. Keep reading to find out why one of your Bose earbuds is not working and what you can do to fix it. <\/b><\/p>\n
