According to many people online, and according to Rtings measurements, the recent firmware 1.3.26 update has pronounced base, which drowns the vocals.

All about that bass - QC EARBUDS

To all those already owing a pair of QC earbuds: how would you describe the bass? In some reviews, the reviewers noted the well sculptured bass, which would also be superior to the Airpods Pro.

Now I read the review from Tom'shttps://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/bose-quietcomfort-earbuds hardware.. An

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds Motherboard Swap

Just wanted to post this here because the first gen QC buds are notorious for breaking down due to either:

QC Ultra Gen 2 earbuds sound skipping/static when pushing pause/next etc.

As far as I know, Sound sport earbuds, QC I , QCII and now my QC ultra gen 1 have the same issue. I guess It's a mismatch between new versions of Bluetooth firmware and Bose headphones firmware. Moreover, I realized that the older version of Bose products which I've had don't have it (QC35 headphone

What headphones should I get?

I can't really decide between over ear ear or in ear but I need headphones that DON'T leak sound or at least not a lot.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - call quality is quite bad

Hello,

After days of research, I 'settled' for Bose QC Earbuds.

Fits well, probably the most comfortables one I ever used, the music quality is great but the call quality is quite bad.

The mic - in a weird location and so sensitive that picks every noise around me but fails big time to pick up
