Dropped Bluetooth Connection | Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Be sure your headphones are within 30 feet (9 meters) of the Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth range is 30 feet (9 meters) without obstacles. If the two devices may be outside of this range or there are obstacles between them, try moving the device and headphones closer together.
Resync the earbud connection.
- If only one of the two earbuds is not working, place it into the charging case first. Keep the lid open. The earbud status light should illuminate. If it does not, the earbud may be out of charge and may not be contacting the charging pins in the case. Be sure the two charging points on the barrel of the earbuds are facing downward and the two charging pins are protruding upward out of the case. Once the earbud status light inside the case illuminates, place the other earbud in the case.


- Close the lid on the case.
- When the status light on the front of the case stops glowing, open the lid, remove just the right earbud, and place it into your right ear.
The welcome tone will play with a few seconds after being removed from the case. The connection chime will play if a recently connected device is in range. - Place the left earbud in your ear. Once the welcome tone plays in the left earbud, you can continue using your earbuds.
Reboot the Bluetooth device.
Remove your product from the memory of the Bluetooth device, then try again.

If using your product outdoors, check for differences when used indoors.
Since there are fewer boundaries and reflective surfaces outdoors, Bluetooth®\ signal might not reach as far. Check if the product functions better indoors to determine if the environment is the issue.
Try connecting a different Bluetooth device.
