Bose quiet comfort ultra headphones vs AirPods Max
I own both, and have flown with both too. I think either is a good option, but I’d give the QCU a little advantage just in terms of storage and wearing around your neck when you need to take them off briefly for whatever reason, also they’re lighter. And with multipoint you can have them paired to b

Looking for Headphones with the Best Noise Cancelling (Work & Reading Focus)
Sony is largely considered the top tier noise canceling headphones, they also have ldac capabilities so you also get near lossless sound quality, but a lot of people find the frequency they use for anc to be rather uncomfortable. So it's a trade off. This is for widely available commercial grade hea

Kaufberatung
Hallo, Mod hier - darf und ist gewünscht 😊 Du hast Recht, Apple fährt hier wieder seine eigene Schiene, und das ist diesmal mit erheblichen Nachteilen verbunden. Klang: Die AirPods Max sind so ziemlich der einzige ANC Kopfhörer am Markt, der ohne eigene App mit EQ zur Klanganpassung kommt. Die neuen

Best ANC headphones for Apple users: AirPods Max 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra 2
My buddy has the Sonys and I have QC Ultra gen 1 and 2. Personally I find them so close soundwise I can't discern much difference. I'd say I prefer the comfort on the Bose, so that's why I have them. I did the trade-in program with an old pair of qc35II. I also own some B&W px8 s2, those sound much

Best ANC headphones for Apple users: AirPods Max 2 vs Sony WH-1000XM6 vs Bose QC Ultra 2
I chose the Bose QC Ultra 2. I got an Open Box-Like New set for $360 at Best Buy. If the AirPod Max 2 had a better headband and didn’t have that annoying volume dial then they would have been my choice. The Sony is garbage. Stay away. It’s pretty, but it’s horribly uncomfortable. I have very normal

QC Ultra 4.9.32 issue
u/Warrie2, the only way that I've been able to reliably install Firmware updates on my QCU Earbuds (1st Gen) is as follows: connect to the Earbuds first then open the app and while the app is open and still connected (you can be listening music on the earbuds), check for update and let it fully down
