Do you use them wired or wireless? I bought every Bluetooth dongle Microcenter offered and none of them worked with these headphones in Windows or Linux.
I’d love a recommendation for a compatible USB Bluetooth dongle.
I had dramatically better luck with that, which AFAICT just presents to the OS as a USB-C headset, and has an entirely-internal bluetooth stack.
Or just try using your phone - I connect both phone and computer to zoom meetings for instance. For some reason, desktop OSes / bluetooth chip stacks are absolutely awful compared to the ones in iOS / Android devices. Nearly everything connects to my Pixel 4a just fine, while nearly everything stutters when connected to my MacBook, and often doesn't connect at all to my Dell.
I've been using a dongle I found on Amazon in 2017 with the description "Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter" [1]
Unfortunately, I don't remember if I've installed or adjusted anything on the OS.
One moderately annoying caveat is that I have to open the Settings / Sound panel every time I turn on the headphones, and while the Output Device is always automatically set to the headset, I have to explicitly set the Input Device to the headset as well. When I do I get an alert sound and a quickly cut-off moment (like the "Ca-" of "Call") in the bose-lady voice, as if something went wrong, but then it works correctly.
I imagine this can all be automated somehow, but I haven't had the time to figure out how and it's not _that_ big of a deal to go through the motions.
