Yes, you can use Bose earbuds with one ear. This is a feature called Independent Single-Bud Use that is available on some Bose earbuds, including the QuietComfort Earbuds, QuietComfort Earbuds II, Sport Earbuds, and Sport Earbuds II.
To use Bose earbuds with one ear, simply remove the earbud you do not want to use from the charging case. The earbud that remains in your ear will continue to play audio.
You can also use the Independent Single-Bud Use feature to switch between using one earbud and using both earbuds. To do this, press and hold the Multifunction button on the earbud that you are not using. You will hear a voice prompt that says “Single-Bud Mode.”
The Independent Single-Bud Use feature is a great way to save battery life or to listen to audio in a more discreet way. It is also a good option if you only have one ear that is working properly.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using Bose earbuds with one ear:
- The audio quality may not be as good when using only one earbud.
- The noise cancellation feature may not be as effective when using only one earbud.
- The battery life may be shorter when using only one earbud.
