Do you use them wired or wireless? I bought every Bluetooth dongle Microcenter offered and none of them worked with these headphones in Windows or Linux.
I’d love a recommendation for a compatible USB Bluetooth dongle.

I had dramatically better luck with that, which AFAICT just presents to the OS as a USB-C headset, and has an entirely-internal bluetooth stack.
Or just try using your phone - I connect both phone and computer to zoom meetings for instance. For some reason, desktop OSes / bluetooth chip stacks are absolutely awful compared to the ones in iOS / Android devices. Nearly everything connects to my Pixel 4a just fine, while nearly everything stutters when connected to my MacBook, and often doesn't connect at all to my Dell.
Unfortunately, I don't remember if I've installed or adjusted anything on the OS.
One moderately annoying caveat is that I have to open the Settings / Sound panel every time I turn on the headphones, and while the Output Device is always automatically set to the headset, I have to explicitly set the Input Device to the headset as well. When I do I get an alert sound and a quickly cut-off moment (like the "Ca-" of "Call") in the bose-lady voice, as if something went wrong, but then it works correctly.
I imagine this can all be automated somehow, but I haven't had the time to figure out how and it's not _that_ big of a deal to go through the motions.
