If you’re used to pairing your Bluetooth headphones with your smartphone, connecting them to your Mac may seem a bit different. However, it’s still a straightforward process that can be done in just a few steps. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to connect your Bose headphones to your Mac, whether it’s a MacBook or an iMac.
To start, go to the upper left corner of your Mac’s screen, near the Apple logo. Click on “System Preferences” and then select “Bluetooth settings,” which is on the far-right of the third row in the window that appears.
In the Bluetooth settings window, check the checkbox to show Bluetooth in the menu bar. While this is optional, it can be a helpful way to access your Bluetooth settings later on.
Next, turn on Bluetooth by clicking on the “Turn Bluetooth On” option. With Bluetooth enabled, you can now proceed to pair your headphones.
To connect your Bose headphones, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your headphones.
2. Locate the small button on the bottom of the headphones that has the Bluetooth icon on it.
3. Press the Bluetooth button to set the headphones into pairing mode. You’ll know the headphones are in pairing mode when the LED light starts blinking in blue.
4. On your Mac, you’ll see a list of available Bluetooth devices, including your headphones. Select your headphones from the list to connect them.
5. Your headphones are now connected to your Mac. You can close the Bluetooth settings window and start listening to your music or movie.
The next time you want to use the headphones with your Mac, they should automatically connect as long as Bluetooth is still enabled on your MacBook. If, for some reason, they don’t automatically connect, you can select your headphones from the menu bar and click “connect.”
In summary, connecting your Bose headphones to your Mac is a simple process that can be done in just a few clicks. By following the steps above, you can enjoy your favorite music or movie soundtracks without any hassle.
