Bose Headband / Earbuds
- Bluetooth socket for Bose headband/earbuds can be accessed by only one application at a time. Close other Bose companion or monitoring apps, such as bosectl, before using BudsLink.
Most settings are self-explanatory and similar to those available on OEM app. Settings specific to BudsLink are explained below.
Icon selection
- Device icons: Select from the available options for your headset type (single-battery or dual-battery devices).
- Case icon: For models that report a case battery, an additional case icon can be selected.
Modes
The Modes page provides the same mode selection and configuration options as the OEM mobile app. The main difference is the Show in toggle button.
Clicking Show in toggle adds the selected mode to the Main Page toggle, allowing you to switch between modes directly from the main page. A maximum of 4 modes can be added to the Main Page.
