Activating the power function on Bose QuietComfort headphones is a fundamental operation. This process initiates the device, enabling both audio playback and noise cancellation features, core functionalities of the QuietComfort line. A physical switch or button press, typically located on an earcup or in-line control, manages the transition from an inactive to an active state.
Proper initiation of the headphones guarantees optimal performance and battery conservation. A device left unintentionally powered on depletes battery life unnecessarily. Understanding and implementing the correct startup procedure extends the usability window and ensures the headphones are ready for immediate use when needed. In many cases, this action also establishes or re-establishes a Bluetooth connection with a paired device.
