I can't get the speakers to work with my Android device; it neither pairs for bluetooth capabilities or work with a jack. Any help?

I purchased this item in 2012 for a family reunion. As soon as I recieved and connected it, I realized immediately that this was a piece of junk. I do not recall how I connected, but I was able to. The sound quality was not even worth the effort it took to take it out of the box and unpack it. I do not believe there is any Bluetooth capability. If it is advertised as such, I am sure the sound quality will diminish even greater. I ended up using a karaoke machine. I can't even believe this item is still listed for sale.

Hi there! Unfortunately, Android devices from different manufacturers have their headphone jacks wired differently (the microphone pin is flipped with ground, to be technical), so it'd be impossible for us to support them all. Thank you for your interest in Range.

Unable to get it to pair with Bluetooth in my PC. Even downloaded the mini boom app.

Bluetooth and auxiliary input works with Android. USB does not. Bluetooth quality is very poor so I do not recommend using it if you care about sound.

I use it with Android. Works great. Easier to pair than many other devices I've had and this speaker is my favorite of 3 different brands. The sound is great!

There is a support page on Bose's website with troubleshooting for why it wont pair. It may be that the speaker is not discoverable. Power off the speaker, hold the mute button on the speaker for 10 seconds to reset it and repower. Try to discover again. If that doesnt work, I suggest visiting the product support page on bose.com for your product where I readily found troubleshooting tips for your specific situation. One can also call Bose tech support at 1-800-380-4831 but I've done this with long hold times and the webpage troubleshooting might be faster. Good luck.

I don't have an android but I can't imagine why they wouldn't. They work for me in anything I out them in for volume and sound of course.

You should be able to pair it using blue tooth. Or yes you plug it directly. BTW this is a really surprisingly nice speaker.

Make sure your bluetooth is off. Switch one to left the other to right at the bottom of the speakers. The hold the power on, they will make some pairing sounds keep holding the power. When they connect together they will make a steel pan sound. Then turn on your bluetooth to connect to the speakers.

Also, When attempting to enter pairing mode on the speaker, you can't have a plug in it. I hope this is helpful.

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

I don't think through bluetooth but you should be able to connect through the auxiliary port via 3.5mm cable. Not sure if it play through all speakers or just to the connected speaker. Worth a try.

I returned this speaker and don't have the pairing info. Hope you can get it off of their website or something

No functionality at all really. Mic doesn't work and song skip either...great speakers but def not for the android. The model 99s (I think) is android compatible.I have an s3 if that matters..

Hi Paula, The Sony SRS-A3 external PC speakers is using a headphone stereo mini jack. If your android phone supports this type of jack, then you may connect it on your phone. Vincent

I have only used through Bluetooth on my phone which is an Android device. However there is an auxiliary jack on the speaker itself. Hope this helps

I had the same problem pairing the speaker for the 1st time with my Samsung Galaxy S3. No matter how much I scan for the speaker (speaker's blue light indicator flashing), my phone could not detect it. Tried pairing it with my laptop, still nothing. The solution was I plugged in the speaker to my phone via 3.5mm AUX cable that came with the speaker, then tried playing a song, just so I can test that the speaker was working. I then unplugged the jack, and pressed the Bluetooth button of the speaker for 3 seconds, then blue and red indicators were flashing one after the other. Tried to pair the device again, and VOILA! "Sykik box" name appears in the available devices for pairing.
