Well, it finally happened to me. (Insert eye roll here)

Ugh, reminds me of an interaction I had while back at a sports bar with my friend eagerly awaiting chicken wings. (I might be addicted to chicken wings, they’re delicious.) We were watching some basketball game and I commented that their shoes were all hideous. Like super bright neon colors that pai

Thank you Bose for the good sound quality, noise cancellation, and comfort, but I am really disappointed with the quality of the products.

I bought Refurbished Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II 2 years ago. At the beginning of this year, after 1,5 year of usage the left earbud started making a crackling sound. At first, it was only heard occasionally when only ANC was on, but eventually it got louder and was constant even when listening to

Little rant about my bose experience

So recently my quiet comfort earbuds stopped working making a squealing noise after just 3 months of owing them. so I sent them to get fixed and after 3 weeks.I finally got them back but they sent the quiet comfort ultra instead which is weird considering they’re more expensive. I’m not liking them

So are these new quiet comfort earbuds supposed to be better than the ultra earbuds?

If they have the same noise cancellation and longer battery life… and more options in their app… how are the ultras ultra? And why do they cost £120 more?

I’m kinda pissed at Bose honestly. I don’t understand unless they’re just trying to confuse people deliberately

QC ultra gen 2 vs Quietcomfort ANC wise

Hi. I just purchased the Bose QC ultra gen 2 for its size, wireless charging and presumably great ANC. This where I get confused. I compare these to my Quietcomfort ANC earbuds and to me, when I switch the ANC mode on the ultra gen 2 from quite to aware back and forth, there is no difference whatso

Recommendations for actually comfortable noise cancelling headphones?

I am participating in an autism research study aiming to improve mental health and for my participation they are compensating me. I plan on using my autism money to buy a nice pair of headphones (and feel free to ask about the research study because I wanted to make a separate post about it but I do

Headphone Immersion Experiences

I use bose quiet comfort earbuds which actually has "immersion mode". Those are pricey though, and I find the noise cancelling still isn't enough to block out people talking near me or a squeaky machine at the gym.

Quiet mode on Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds

Maybe I bought these too quickly without doing enough research but why is the quiet mode like this? I understand that 100% silent is probably impossible, but it almost sounds like they're intentionally feeding the surrounding noise into my ears through the speakers or something, just at a lower volu

QuietComfort Earbuds are a fraud :

The product is definitely not finished. It should never have left it's beta test phase.

Literally the only device I had to return twice. I just bought them after my SportBose Earbuds from 2019 died.

The first pair, the ANC malfunctioned on the right ear. The second one, the right bud stopped wor

Is there any tools, pod, soundproofing room where it can block 100% noise?

Hey Everyone,

I’ve posted about this a couple of times, I really need help. I’m looking for anything that can block 100% noise. I’ve tried Bose QuietComfort earbuds, but they have two big issues: they’re not super comfortable for me, and they don’t block out really loud noise.

My neighbors are so
