MacBook – How to connect the Bose QC35 with the MacBook Pro under iOS

bluetoothheadphonesmacbook pro

My MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018 – OS Version 10.14.1 (18B75)) doesn't connect to my new Bose QC35. On the other hand, it connects without issues to my Pixel 3 XL.

I first connected without issues to my Pixel 3 XL named it Carol and then clicked on pairing other devices. Bose QC35/Carol didn't show up in the device list on the MacBook Pro.

To fix this I reset the device list on the Bose by longpressing on the bluetooth connection button and disabled Bluetooth on the Pixel while I did it. Unfortunately, that didn't help either.

When I boot Windows 10 on the MacBook Windows 10 has no problem connecting with the Bose QC35.

How do I get my Bose QC35 properly connected via Bluetooth with the MacBook Pro under iOS?

After reading Gummibando's suggestion in the comments I resetted the bluetooth module on the MacBook Pro via:

Hold Shift-Option while clicking on the BT menu bar item > Debug menu > Reset the Bluetooth module

This solved it for me.
