Nobody owns a pair of earphones any more

Not happy with new update :/

Glad to see I’m not the only one who doesn’t like this new update, which I don’t think I’ve received yet. I have the QC Ultra Earbuds 2, and I’ll try to avoid updating them until Bose either changes their mind about this or gives us the option in the app to switch between the current voice and the n

Otherwise, the consumer is buying an unfinished, un-tested product. Bose sold the QCii earbuds with a pr
