After calling Bose support the answer is NO. You must sacrifice your privacy and agree to data collection by Bose in order to use all of the settings, updates as no features. You can do a simple pairing via Bluetooth, however this will limit the settings and features. There are many excellent alternatives that are not this intrusive. Therefore I do not recommend this product. I will be returning mine
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you like the earbuds and want to keep them but don’t want intrusion, you may want to consider: 1. download the PDF Manual for the product at the BOSE site, learn about how to pair and use, accept the default settings for ANC and Shortcut already set up on the earbuds, and pair directly to your device, 2. download the app, set up per the instruction (“I agree...), customize the settings, then delete app and unsubscribe to email.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Another idea, since most or all similar earbuds "store" the settings on the device once set, is to use an older or secondary phone (like your last phone that doesn't have SIM but can use a WiFi to get the app real quick) for initial settings setup. Agree to all their stupid stuff once, set your ANC, Aware, Equalizer, taps settings, etc., this should save it to the Bose buds. Then delete the app from the secondary device. Connect Bose buds to intended phone, settings should still be applied. There's no protocol for the buds themselves to phone home to Bose via the Bluetooth protocol with your usage data without the app.
