bose quietcomfort ultra earbuds 2nd gen min volume is way too loud

When paired with an iPhone, if I mute the volume, I can still hear sound. The minimum volume is around 55–65 dBA, which is way tooooo loud there is no in between. The buds are unusable with a iphone without losing my hearing. I can't find a fix and i think i try everthing.

The Bose QC Ultra Earbuds are the best and worst earbuds I’ve ever used

I love my Quiet Comfort 2023 headphones. I tried the Ultra and the Gen 2 and went back to the QC, because they're the most bang for the buck in my opinion. That said, I'll choose Soundcore over Bose earbuds any day.

Just got the Bose ultra Gen 2 earbuds, so about that hissing sound

I tried two units of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) and both have the same low-level hiss/hum, noticeable in silence and sometimes during calls. I went through resets, firmware updates, seal checks, and mode changes, but it didn’t improve enough for me. Before I decide whether to retu

Bose QC Ultra earbuds vs Sennheiser TWS Momentum 4

I found your post looking for a replacement for my Bose QC Ultra buds. I have been a die hard Bose fan for ages but, honestly, I would never buy another pair of earbuds from them. My original earbuds for there were the QC buds. The first pair I had, the right ear bud crapped out. It was within warra

Issues With BT After Pausing My Earbuds

I was gifted a turntable, amp/receiver, and speakers. At times I would like to listen to this in private. The receiver has built in BT 5.0 but the range is only about 20'. So I looked around and purchased a BT transmitter. It is an 1Mii B03Pro Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter/Receiver. The range is exactly
