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

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.

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

The material splitting is a known defect. Bose support will replace them if you politely bug them about it But the replacement will do the same thing after a few months. Get a good after-maket pair of earcups. I went through at least 7-8 official Bose earcups on mine before I gave up. I've got the Q

There are sometimes some clicking or scratching sounds that I can hear, but it's only noticable in silent moments. However you should get the Sony's because the QCU are unreliable and Bose doesn't support their products. They wont do anything about my QCU that lost audio in one ear EVEN THOUGH I BOU

I'm still trying them out... I actually picked up the AirPods Max as well because they're on sale here right now for the same price as the QCU 2 and I figured I'd have to decide between one of the two but I have no idea what to do. Neither of them are a clear winner but I'd rather keep the Bose but

Gonna be contradictory. Maybe just my experience but I’ve had 2 of the gen 1 QCU and both had button issues with the hardware and consistent problems with dropping Bluetooth connections. Just my experience so I don’t know how common the issues are but noting for you. The ANC is very good, as is the

Once sorted out I generally like my QCUs, especially the comfort and deep ear cups, but: The ear cushions split along the sonic welded seams WAY too quickly, and Bose replacements are very pricey. I tried aftermarket that looked and fit well, but the loss of a lot ANC makes them a NO-GO. I have repa

Bose earpads are the worst ever. Have both Bose qcu and Sony xm6. Sonys earpads looks the same all the time but Boses broke after 2 months in several places :-(
