Bose Updater

Bose Updater, as the name implies, is made by the Bose Corporation. Bose Updater is a free utility tasked with providing steady and current firmware updates for Bose headphones, speakers and other products. It works together with the Bose Software Updater website: the web page checks the connected product and, if the small helper application is not yet installed on the computer, prompts you to download and install it first.

Features:

• It is a free software application for all users
• It is simple enough for both professionals and novices
• It updates products such as QuietComfort headphones, SoundLink speakers and the S1 Pro system
• It runs on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11
• The installer is only about 16 MB in size
• It can start automatically when you log in to Windows
• It places an icon in the system tray with a shortcut to the updater web page
• It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems

Bose Updater keeps Bose headphones and speakers up to date with the latest firmware in a few clicks.

In terms of user-friendliness, even a novice can update a product: connect it to the computer with a USB cable, open the updater page and, if an update is available, click Apply Changes and wait for the installation to finish. Installing the correct update gives users an avenue to get the most out of their gadget, and because the updater recognizes the connected product itself, the risk of installing a wrong update version is reduced.

During the process, the application makes a secure connection to Bose's servers, retrieves the firmware intended for the connected product and installs it on the device. When the update is complete, the product can be disconnected from the computer. The tray icon menu lets you open the Bose Updater web page, turn automatic start at login on or off, or exit the program. Many newer Bose products can also be updated through the Bose mobile app.
