What are the hours and when should I call?
Bose operates the call center for this 800-379-2073 phone number Mon-Fri 9am-9pm, Sat 9am-7pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Friday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 313 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Bose call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Bose phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Bose staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Bose is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 89% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 313 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday.
When you call the customer service phone number for Bose, you're greeted by an automated messaging system. The system thanks you for calling, states that the following call may be monitored or recorded for training or quality purposes, and then offers a Spanish language option (press or say 2 for Spanish). Having an alternative language option is great and increases caller accessibility; even though I didn't use it personally, I'm thankful it's there.
Before providing the proper phone menu, the system instructs those calling for immediate technical assistance, order support, or tracking to visit their website, bose.com. I'm not overly familiar with Bose's operating procedures or their website options, but just from a common sense perspective, I imagine a lot of people calling regarding those issues were not able to have their issues resolved via the website. At least, most younger generations would visit a company's website before calling and are therefore calling with intentionality.
Perhaps this statement is for those who don't follow that protocol and instead call first, wishing to speak with someone personally. However, again, I don't see why telling those individuals to go to the website would necessarily best serve them. Perhaps I'm being nitpicky, but it seems like an unnecessary statement that gives the impression the company doesn't want to deal with those concerns.
After the aforementioned statement, the following phone menu is provided:
Press or say 1 for technical support with your product, ordering parts, or if you believe your product requires service
Press or say 2 for support on your order
Press or say 3 to purchase Bose products
Considering the phone menu, I'm even more confused as to why that initial statement was given in the first place, but I digress. By navigating the menu, I was able to reach a representative to help me with my concern (technical support regarding my noise-canceling headphones). The rep was very sweet and helpful! Overall, my experience was positive.

Why Customers Call Bose
If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Bose, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.
The warranty period for Bose products varies depending on the product category. Generally, Bose offers a standard limited warranty of one year for most of their products, including speakers, headphones, and sound systems. However, some products like specialized aviation headsets come with a five-year limited warranty. Additionally, Bose also provides extended warranty options for purchase on select products, allowing customers to extend their coverage beyond the standard warranty period. It's important to note that the warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, but it does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents, or unauthorized repairs. For more detailed and specific warranty information, customers can refer to Bose's official website or contact customer support.
The battery life of the Bose Soundlink Mini varies depending on usage and volume levels. On average, the device can last up to 10 hours on a single charge. However, higher volume levels and continuous usage may slightly reduce its battery life. The Soundlink Mini features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be easily charged using the included power adapter. An indicator light on the device helps track the battery level, allowing users to plan their usage accordingly. Additionally, a power-saving mode is automatically activated if the speaker remains idle for a period of time. This ensures optimal battery conservation and extends its overall life.
The Bose Soundlink Mini is water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It is designed to withstand light splashes and moisture exposure, making it suitable for outdoor use in light rain or by the poolside. However, it cannot be submerged in water or exposed to heavy downpours. While the speaker's exterior and controls are built to resist water, prolonged exposure or immersion could damage the internal components. It is important to exercise caution and avoid exposing the Soundlink Mini to excessive water to ensure its longevity and performance.

Information about why customers call Bose is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Bose provides this option.
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Bose will reply our your email.
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Bose, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Bose customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
