Setting the adjustable Active Noise Cancellation mode
The noise cancellation in your headphones can be set higher or lower. This is useful in environments where you want to hear more or less of the sound around you.
Noise Cancelling Modes
Noise cancelling reduces unwanted noise, providing a clearer, more lifelike audio performance. You can choose between two pre-configured noise cancelling modes — Quiet or Aware — or create up to two of your own custom modes. Choose your noise cancelling mode based on your listening preferences and environment.
To change the noise cancellation, press the Action button.
A voice prompt announces the selected mode. You can also change the mode using the Bose Music app. To access this option, tap Modes on the main screen.
When you make or receive a call, the headphones remain at the current noise cancellation setting and self voice is activated. Self voice helps you hear yourself speak more naturally. To adjust noise cancellation while on a call, change the mode. To adjust self voice, use the Bose Music app. You can access this option from the Settings menu.
You can use noise cancellation only, without audio or interruptions from phone calls.
