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

Are the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds worth it?

Someone help! I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews saying that they’re the best when it comes to sound quality but that’s pretty much the only pro, the cons I’ve heard is that it falls out of your ears, the sync is bad, and that it turns off by itself??

I was interested seeing the dandadan collab they

Quietcomfort Earbuds II - right earbud quieter than left

Hi, I've had the Bose QC ii earbuds for a few months. One day I noticed the right earbud was quieter than the left. As in 25% volume. I noticed that there was some earwax, so I cleaned both but the problem persisted.

  • I tried the soft reset - opening case with no bt in range

  • I tried the hard res

Bose - not getting the hype?

So I've used Soundcore Q30 headphones for years and always thought the ACN could do a bit more. Since I'm AuDHD, I really can't stand hearing people chat or children cry on public transport etc, so I finally invested in some Bose headphones because everybody's always been going on about how amazing

Should I get the Bose quite comfort ultra? How reliable is it?

The Bose QCII earbuds actually have deeper base than the headphones IMHO. I now own both and admit being slightly disappointed that the over-ear counterpart I purchased yesterday wasn’t quite as deep and boomy as my earbuds. Maybe it’s just me, I dunno.🤷‍♂️

Left earbud of Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds not working

The left earbud of my Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds (the ones that cost $300) is not producing any audio. However, it can still connect to devices via bluetooth and holding the device while in ear still allows modes to be cycled. The right earbud is working fine.

I'm very sad this happened because I on

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
