QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

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

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

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

Ive had both, returned the bose. Xm6 edges out the QCU in anc. Way better customizable app, multi connect is better, sound is subjective.

Just for the Sound and better ANC, i am not an audiophile and cant tweak the settings for a crisp yet get the bass i need perfectly.

I’ve had the QCU earbuds for about 5 months or so. Everything was fine until the other day when I opened the Bose app to change one of the modes I created and I see that the slider for the ANC is no longer available. The ANC works as it’s supposed to on the existing modes (modes Bose included and th

Based on my hearing, the ANC on the Sony WHXM6 blocks more everyday sound frequencies and is about 2-5 percent stronger than the ANC on the Bose QC Ultra 2. When the Bose QC Ultra 2 goes to full strength, they are about the same. But, because it has automatically adjusting ANC….I could not experienc

I have never had ANC headphones that will 100% block the full spectrum of audible range including the Bose QCU2 and the Sony XM6. All of them particularly struggle with full blockage of certain human voice ranges. They cut the volume significantly but you can definitely still hear them. They can eve

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
