HOW TO GET MORE OUT OF YOUR BOSE PRODUCTS WITH BOSE SIMPLESYNC™

Private — or party — listening

Bose SimpleSync™ allows you to pair your Bose Smart Speakers and Soundbars with compatible Bose products.* Want to watch TV but not disturb anyone else? Pair your soundbar with select Bose headphones for a personal TV listening experience. Want to listen to the same music in different rooms at the same time? Pair your soundbar or speaker with a select Bose Bluetooth® speaker to add more sound around the house. Here’s how it works.

SOUNDBAR TO HEADPHONES CONNECTION

When binge-time and naptime collide

The kids’ naptime is the perfect time to catch up on your favourite shows. But do you ever worry they’ll wake up if the volume’s too loud? So, subtitles it is. Not any more. With SimpleSync™ technology, you can pair selected* Bose headphones to a Bose Smart Soundbar for an independent listening experience. And, more importantly, independent volume control. That way they sleep peacefully and you watch your shows—as loudly as you want. Check out the video below to see how simple it really is.

SPEAKER TO SPEAKER CONNECTION

When the party’s moving inside—and outside

Whether you’re having family time on the patio or hosting the annual holiday party, you want everyone to hear the music—everywhere. Saying hello to guests from room to room or going outdoors to indoors, you can seamlessly follow along to the music. In the video below, see how to use SimpleSync™ to connect a Bose Smart Speaker to a selected* Bose SoundLink portable Bluetooth speaker or a selected SoundTouch speaker for a one-to-one connection. SimpleSync™ technology has a typical Bluetooth wireless range of 9 metres to stay connected.**

BOSE MUSIC APP

The app that makes it all happen

The free Bose Music app is the only app you need to use SimpleSync™, even with your SoundTouch speakers.* In just a few taps, you’ll be able to pair two select products and get more out of your Bose speakers and headphones than ever before. To get started, make sure your compatible products are turned on and in pairing mode, and then open the app on your mobile device.

*No SoundTouch app needed.

How many Bose products can I connect with SimpleSync™ at the same time?

SimpleSync™ provides a one-to-one connection, so you can use it to pair two products maximum. Your two products must remain within typical Bluetooth wireless range (9 metres) of each other to stay connected. Walls and construction materials can affect reception at times.

Which Bose products have SimpleSync™?

All members of the Bose Smart Family can be paired with selected Bose speakers and headphones. The number of compatible products will grow over time — for the complete list, see Products that support SimpleSync™ in the Bose Support section.

Can I use SimpleSync™ to connect a Bluetooth-enabled SoundTouch speaker to a Bose Smart Speaker?

Yes. SimpleSync™ establishes a Bluetooth connection from your Bose Smart Speaker to your Bluetooth-enabled SoundTouch speaker. The signal establishes a one-to-one connection, allowing the same music to be played in sync in two different rooms. However, the SoundTouch speaker must stay within the reliable Bluetooth range of 9 metres to maintain connection.
