How to use Bose SoundSport Free on MacBook?

I can't seem to be able to pair up my new headphones with my MacBook pro? I activated the bluetooth on the laptop but I can't find the headphones to pair up. Am I doing the right thing or should I download an app or something?
Never used wireless headphones so I am a bit lost.

1) Will using your MacBook Air/Pro while charging them damage the battery?

I also use an external monitor with my laptop.
1) If I use my MacBook while it's charging and connected to an external monitor, will that damage the battery?
2) If I use it in clamshell mode while charging, that's fine right?

Audio Fidelity loss converting Thunderbolt 3 to Firewire 400?

I have successfully gotten both of my old firewire audio interfaces (PreSonus Firestudio Mobile & Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56) communicating with my 2018 MacBook Pro by converting Thunderbolt 3 --> Thunderbolt 2, Thunderbolt 2 --> FW 800, and then a FW 800 --> FW 400 cable that connects to my interface.

I'm noticing a fairly significant loss of fidelity on the audio played back through the interface. Is this something others have experienced? Is the signal getting squashed somewhere in the adapter chain? Is there any way to correct this? Thanks!
