A recent firmware update reduces the amount of "Hiss"

Firmware update v4.0.22 reduced the noise floor (hiss) that the product can produce when no audio content is playing.
Ensure your product is up to date. See Updating the Software or Firmware of your Product

Be sure the earbuds are being worn properly.

Proper fit is important for product comfort and performance. If the earbuds do not fit properly or the orientation is incorrect it could lead to poor audio or mic performance. See, Wearing and adjusting your earbuds for more details.

Check the equalizer settings in the Bose app.

Be sure the bass and treble adjustments are not set too high or too low for your preferences. For more info, see Using the Equalizer settings.

Reset your product.

Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more info, see Resetting your product.

Try a different app.

If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.

Reboot the Bluetooth® device.

Electronics might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. This is typically done by turning the device off, then powering it on again.

Try disabling the Multi-point Connection function in the Bose app.

Notifications and other Bluetooth communications from a second connected device may interrupt or interfere with your listening experience from your primary device. To prevent this from happening, you can turn off the Multi-point Connection function so that only one device connects to your headphones or earbuds.
  1. In the Bose app icon, select you headphones or earbuds.
  2. Tap on the Settings icon in the upper-right corner, then select Bluetooth Connections.
    Bluetooth menu with Multi-point Connection function enabled
     
  3. If the setting is enabled, as shown above, tap on the toggle switch to move the switch to the left which will disable the function.
When the Multi-point Connection function is disabled, you will only be able to connect to one device at a time. If you want to connect to two devices simultaneously, re-enable the Multi-point Connection function.
