Bose’s Soundlink Bluetooth speakers have consistently been some of the best-sounding speakers available. But every now and then, something goes wrong and your speaker needs to be reset or re-paired. Here’s what you need to know about resetting a Bose Soundlink speaker, and what a reset does to it.

If you're experiencing issues such as a Soundlink speaker not connecting to a phone, unstable Bluetooth connection, or poor audio, you can reset the speaker to ensure there are no software issues.

Resetting a speaker will erase the language selection and all other settings to return the speaker to how it was when you took it out of the box. Since this is a speaker and not a device that stores personal data, a factory reset is simpler.

While the instructions above apply to different types of Bose Soundlink speakers, the company makes a wide variety of products. If you don't see your product listed here, Bose lists all of its speaker instructions on its support website . Enter the name of your specific model into the search box to learn how to reset your speaker.
