Connecting headphones to your system

The SimpleSync feature in the Bose app lets you connect Bluetooth headphones to your speaker so the same audio can be heard from both your speaker and the connected headphones. You can also separately adjust the speaker and headphones volume levels. So, for example, if you don't want the speaker to be heard and instead want to listen only through the headphones, lower the volume level of just the speaker.

1. In the Bose app, select your speaker.
2. Select Group.
3. Put your headphones into pairing mode; typically done by pressing and holding its Bluetooth button for a few seconds.
4. Once your headphones appear beneath the SimpleSync heading on the Group screen, select them and they will connect to the speaker,
