Can I disconnect my Bose or Skullcandy headphones from my Tile Account?
Yep! You can disconnect them from your Tile account in two ways. You can either factory reset your device, or you can permanently disable your device.
What is the difference between factory resetting your headphones and permanently disabling your headphones?
When you factory reset your headphones, it restores your headphones to factory settings. It allows you to remove them from your account, and gives you the option to reactivate it later. This reset can be done only when the headphones are in range and connected to the app.
