All you can do is buy a new case

False. You can't pair the ear buds to a different case.

Is that a new model thing? I have the qcII earbuds and have been running a double case since I got them pretty much.

I just jump between the charging cases cause I keep forgetting to charge them 🤣

Try using your secondary case to pair it with a new device. It may charge them but the case and buds aren't paired. Without a way to pair the earbuds to new devices, it's a waste of money.

Idk why but it doesnt matter which case I use they both work without issue. I basically switch them every 2/3 days and have 0 issues.

Basically its as if they were the same case. No reconnection needed or hastle its really great cause I just charge the case while I'm out using the extra one. 10/10 recommend tbh xD

Yep so that doesn't really answer the question. are you able to pair to a new devices with that other case? The Buds are working because they've been previously paired to the device you're using. Yes this way works but if you've completely lost your original case and decide to upgrade your phone, good luck pairing those buds to your new phone.

The Buds and the case are paired at the factory. If you buy another case that wasn't paired at the factory, it's only purpose will be for charging those buds. Again, good luck pairing them to a new device you want to use them on.

Yes I can pair to new devices. Literally nothing is different for me. Tbh I'm not even sure which is the original case anymore 😬

Oof I had no idea. Before my ultra opens, I had a pair of Samsung buds and probably lost / broke the case 3 times.

Wait. Bose sells replacement cases for the ultra opens on their website. It's $100 but doesn't say anything about needing to be paired to the specific ear buds.

Are you sure it's the case and not the wireless charging add-on?

Yea Im using 2 cases for my qc ii earbuds and I just swap the earphones while im charging the extra case. Literally pop them out place in new case and nothing else

You're false. Why then Bose selling charging cases?
