How can I connect Bose headphones to a Mac?

I’m having trouble figuring out how to connect my Bose headphones to my Mac. I’ve tried a few methods, but nothing seems to work right. Sometimes the headphones show up in the Bluetooth menu, but other times they don’t. I’m not sure if I’m missing a step or if there’s something wrong with my Mac’s Bluetooth settings. The process seems like it should be straightforward, but I keep running into obstacles. It’s becoming quite frustrating, especially since I want to use my headphones for both work and entertainment on my Mac. I could use some detailed guidance on what to do to make the connection work consistently.

First, double-check that both your Mac and Bose headphones are sufficiently charged to avoid any power issues. On your Mac, go to ‘System Preferences’ > ‘Bluetooth’ and make sure Bluetooth is active. Then, press and hold the power button on your Bose headphones until the Bluetooth light starts flashing – this indicates pairing mode. On your Mac, your headphones should now appear in the Bluetooth devices list. Click ‘Connect’ next to your headphones. If prompted, confirm any pairing codes that appear. Finally, select your headphones as the default audio output device by navigating to ‘System Preferences’ > ‘Sound’ > ‘Output.’

I recommend starting by turning off Bluetooth on your Mac for a minute before turning it back on, which can reset any hidden issues. Next, hold the power button on your Bose headphones until you see the indicator light flashing, which means they are in pairing mode. Open the Bluetooth settings on your Mac (System Preferences > Bluetooth), where you should see your Bose headphones listed after a few moments. Click ‘Connect.’ If your headphones don’t appear, try restarting your Mac and repeating the steps. Once connected, make sure that in ‘System Preferences’ > ‘Sound’ > ‘Output,’ your Bose headphones are selected as the audio output. If these steps don’t work, try resetting the Bluetooth module by holding down Shift and Option, clicking the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar, and selecting ‘Reset Bluetooth module.’

When I encountered a similar problem, I found a more detailed method. First, turn off both your Mac and your Bose headphones to ensure a complete reset. Turn on your Mac and navigate to ‘System Preferences’ > ‘Bluetooth’ to make sure Bluetooth is enabled. Then, turn on your Bose headphones and put them into pairing mode by holding down the power button until the LED starts flashing. On your Mac, in the Bluetooth menu, your headphones should appear under ‘Devices.’ Click ‘Connect’ next to your Bose headphones. If there’s any issue, it may be helpful to reset the Bluetooth module on your Mac by holding Shift and Option while clicking the Bluetooth icon and selecting ‘Reset Bluetooth module.’ After doing so, try pairing your headphones again.
