Is it crazy that I still prefer my 10-year-old QC 35s over the new QC Ultras?

QC lineup is a try tested and true to Bose roots design. Even the current 2023 QuietComfort headphones are based on the design of the qc15, The very minimal changes at all since that model back in the early 2000s. The Ultra models Gen 1 or Gen 2 are plagued with problems. Unreliable touch controls,

Px8s2 on the plane

I bought a pair of the Bose QC Ultra 2 headphones to replace my overly heavy AirPod Max. The Bose and the AirPods were roughly the same when it came to ANC. But the Bose sounded terrible. Music sounded compressed, like it was never truly quiet and distinct parts of the music were blurred over. While

Noise cancelling headphones recommendations

Bose Quiet Comfort ULTRA. Ultra. Ultra. With the extra spend. I also love my AirPod Max's. They're a bit heavier but also nice. The Bose QCU are light and loud. Or put on the ANC and a 432Hz flow and you won't hear a kitten mewing beside you.

Should I or should I not?

If it means anything, I have the Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2, and the Bose quietcomfort ultra 2, and the latter are better in both the sound and ANC department. The Bowers have better build quality. If I were to be taking a flight, the Bose would be coming with me

Red eye etiquette rant

I've better luck with Bose QC buds (wired and wireless) and white noise in places like offices, not so much on planes. But thank you for reminding me I need to find a new noise app since mine went full subscription when I went to use it for the crying babies in my other comment. I've been wondering

Wow. PX7 S3 vs. XM6

I did something similar, but I bought the PX7 S3 and the new Bose QCU. I ended up returning both sadly after a week. The Bose sound quality was just bad, and the ANC was okay. The comfort was good though. The PX7 s3 sound amazing, but I couldn't get past the clamping force and wearing them with glas

How Does MacBook Neo Cost Less Than Apple’s AirPods Max 2 Headphones?! - CNET

So which Bluetooth anc headphones follow the curve all the way and not have any dropped off? I'm not sure. You'd have to research it. The Bose Quiet Comfort 45's do pretty good up to about 8k (follow the red and green lines), which is forgivable compared to Apple dropping the ball at 1k. The Bose QC
