Juggling between your phone and laptop all day? Good news—the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen can connect to both at the same time. No more fumbling through Bluetooth settings every time you want to switch devices.

How It Actually Works

Bose calls this feature "multipoint," and it's straightforward once you set it up. Your earbuds maintain active connections to two devices simultaneously—your phone and laptop can both be connected and ready to go.

The best part? Switching happens almost automatically. Pause the music on your phone, hit play on your laptop, and the audio just switches. No disconnecting, no re-pairing, no fuss.

Why You'll Actually Use This

Here's a real scenario: You're listening to music on your phone while working. Your laptop rings with a Teams call. The earbuds switch to your laptop for the meeting, then you can go right back to your phone music when you're done.

Or maybe you're watching a YouTube video on your laptop and your phone rings. The earbuds handle the call, then return you to your video. It's the kind of convenience that sounds minor until you experience how much smoother it makes your day.

Getting It Set Up

Open the Bose Music app and find the Bluetooth Connections settings. There's a toggle for multipoint—flip it on. Then make sure both your devices are paired with the earbuds (you'll need to do the initial pairing for each device separately).

Once that's done, you're set. The earbuds remember both connections and manage them automatically.

A Few Things to Know

You're limited to two devices at a time—not three or four. Incoming calls always take priority, which is usually what you want anyway. And while it works great for most things, some users notice minor audio quality differences when both devices are actively connected.

Quick tip: If you're having trouble with multipoint, make sure your firmware is updated to version 4.0.20 or later through the Bose Music app.
