I don't know about Bose, but you can connect the Sony headphones with the normal bluetooth pairing, there's no app required

- monksy 6y agoGood luck when internal settings get changed (as in internal volume)
- 0_____0 6y agolong time user of the sony wh-1000xm2. never have had any such issue. i have noticed that it seems like the headset and phone have independent volume controls but both phone and headset have physical controls, no app required.
- eternalban 6y agoI just ran into this very issue. I opted out of downloading anything. It was working fine until just now for whatever reason the volume is so low that I can hear a background hiss. The source laptop volume is maxed out. If this is Sony's way of forcing me to use their app, they guessed wrong. I just bought these and am considering returning it.
- vladvasiliu 6y agoDid you try raising the volume directly on the headphones? If it's a WH-XM1000, you can do that by sliding the finger up on the right earphone. For some reason mine's volume works as expected on an iphone (phone and headphone control the same volume) but on a pc (windows / mac / linux) the controls work separately...
- eternalban 6y agoThank you, that did it!
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoI have the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II. I use them with a MacBook Pro through Bluetooth pairing. I never installed any app and never connected the headphones physically to anything. What is the OP talking about? And why would anyone install an app to use headphones?
- Vinnl 6y agoUnfortunately you can't disable noise cancelling without the app. Well, you can, but you first have to enable that using the app.
- dkdk8283 6y agoWhy would someone buy noise cancelling headphones if they don’t need that feature? The QC II’s bluetooth range is horrible. Less than half of the QC I’s.
- Macha 6y agohuh, my Sennheiser headphones can control the noise cancelling with buttons on the headphones. Some limitations were annoying (2 connected devices at once, it gets very confused by my dual boot machine) but sounds like I dodged a bullet with brands requiring custom apps
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoExactly. If you are disabling noise cancellation on the QC II, you bought the wrong headphones. There are much nicer ones without noise cancellation for less money.
- dagw 6y agoI toggle NC on and off all the time depending on the situation.
- vladvasiliu 6y agoThey may want to disable that feature occasionally. I sometimes wear glasses which prevent the headphones from forming a perfect seal. If I walk around with the headphones on, I get a "wow" going on which is quite tiring. Turn the NC off and they're ok. I only rarely do this, so I wouldn't have bought a dedicated pair only for this purpose.
