If your iPhone 15 Pro Max isn’t discovering your BOSE headphones, try these steps:

  1. Ensure Headphones Are in Pairing Mode: Follow the BOSE instructions to make the headphones discoverable (usually by holding the power or Bluetooth button until you see a blinking light).
  2. Restart Bluetooth on iPhone: Go to Settings > Bluetooth, toggle Bluetooth off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.
  3. Forget and Re-Pair Devices: If you previously connected the headphones on another device, disconnect them there. Then, try pairing with the iPhone again.
