Where Does the Bose App Store Presets and Settings?
The Bose app holds presets, EQ, and product settings in the app and your Bose account. Music itself streams from linked services.
Last updated
The Bose app, formerly Bose Music, is a remote control with memory. It pairs headphones, earbuds, speakers, and soundbars, then stores their EQ, noise-cancelling modes, shortcuts, and presets. Immersive Audio toggles and Aware Mode tuning for QuietComfort lines live in the same place.
Note the catch reviewers keep hitting: much of the app needs internet even for local tweaks, so airplane adjustments disappoint. Presets point at cloud playlists rather than owned files. Treat the Bose account as the backup and keep the app updated, since older releases drop support for new QuietComfort hardware.
Where Bose Music stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.bose.bosemusic/files
Settings, presets, and EQ in private storage plus your Bose account. Exact folder names may vary by version. Music streams from linked services, so no audio folder needs backup.
Bose app storage (Settings > iPhone Storage)
Same account-backed model as Android. Pair products again after reinstalling and settings return. The container holds no music files to preserve.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save a preset?
Start the music from inside the Bose app, not by voice, then look for the Set Preset button on the Now Playing screen. Speaker buttons and the remote recall the same presets. Bluetooth streams preset differently, so prefer WiFi sources for reliable slots.
Do I need to move music files to a new phone?
No. EQ curves, modes, and shortcuts sync through the app and your Bose account, while the audio comes from Spotify and friends on demand. Log into the app on the new phone and the products pair back with settings intact.
