QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

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,

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

Same! I'm so hyped about them, and specifically about them fulfilling the following criteria: Sound at least as good as the Momentum 4 Have significantly better ANC, better than the Momentum 4 and HDB 630, ideally at least something that's gonna feel like it's either as good or almost as good as the

My opinion is Bose all around. I have tested the QC ultra 2 and I currently own the qc ultra 2 earbuds and the best ANC is gonna come from the QC over any of the other options. I’ve heard countless stories from people about the xm6 and it being either a regret buy or something that was returned if i

I work in a noisy, awful office and disliked my airpod pro 2s. I'm sure they upgraded the noise cancellation somewhat, but the buds were uncomfy too. I went to Bose QC ultra gen 1 (bc sale) and oh my God. The difference in noise cancellation was incredible.

What an objective piece of shit headset. As someone who spends far, far more time with headphones than average (I travel for work; 150+ flights a year), you DO NOT want them this loud with that much bass. Fast way to get tinnitus/hearing loss. High quality active noise cancelling (ANC) is king. Redu

After half a year of being happy with my QuietComfort Ultra 2, I have also started hearing the cracking noise. I'm thinking about going for the XM6 now, and I'm just a bit worried about their fit, as the BOSE are perfect.

I've had the xm3 for 10 years. After spending 2 months testing all the headphones I could get my hands on, last month and settled on the QC ultras. I was happy with them but not thrilled. So I took them back a couple of days later and got the Gen 2. Immediately had the wow factor I was looking for.

My XM2's are still going strong like 8 years later. I just whipped them out again after one of the earpads on my QC Ultra tore clean open after not even 1 year of use and I treat them pretty well. Apparently a very common issue. Now I'm debating spending $50 on replacement cushions. Also to be perfe

Did you notice any plastic creaking/cracking noises on the XM6? Do you think the ANC in the Bose QC Ultra 2 is still a noticeable upgrade over my old QC35 II?I know the XM6 might be better overall for ANC, but comfort is also very important to me, especially for long work sessions. To be honest, I'm
