Microphone picks up sound intermittently

Since there are fewer boundaries and reflective surfaces outdoors, Bluetooth® signal might not reach as far. Check if the product functions better indoors to determine if the environment is the issue.

Wind noise may enter the microphone capsule and render other audio unintelligible. Moving away from this area may allow for clear audio reproduction

Bluetooth range is about 33' (10 m). This range can be reduced by obstacles (i.e. walls, doors, pockets, nearby Bluetooth devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.

Some wireless devices can cause interference with a Bluetooth signal. 
Common examples include:-

• 2.4 GHz router
• cordless phone
• wireless speaker adapters
• home security motion sensors
• fluorescent lights
• microwaves
• wireless mice and keyboards

If there are such devices, disconnect one at a time and check if the issue improves. If so, consider relocating your product or the device.

A weak connection to the cell service could cause poor audio quality while on a call. Try the call again when the reception improves.

Try placing another call—preferably to another number—to determine if the issue occurs all the time or only with certain people, which could result from poor reception with the phone service or device you call.

Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more info, see Resetting your product.

If your Bose product can connect to another device, Bluetooth functionality is working. In cases like this, the issue could be with the first device or its settings.
