QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

For those asking about how the microphone voice call quality is on the new Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen), check out my very comprehensive comparison review against Sony's latest WH-1000XM6 and against the Dell WL7024 Professional Headset and against the new Bose QC Ultra Earbuds (2nd

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,

Bose QC Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen are my favorite of all of the premium wireless ANC headphones. Bass shelf can easily be reduced with the Bose app. But the masses will love this out of box tuning.

If you decide to keep the app on your phone, make sure to shut down the app in case it decides to update in the background. I just upgra

So it's a trade off. This is for widely available commercial grade hea

Assuming you're talking about the Gen 1: Make sure you update the firmware in the app. I had similar issues with the power button, until a firmware update that "improved the power-on experience" or something to that effect. Yes the regular QC's slider switch is still more intuitive, abut the update

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