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 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

Unfortunately I only can exchange them for another pair in my country. I bought them directly from Bose and there isn’t an option to return them. I’ll probably wait a little if there will be a fix of the update, but if not I’ll either try to ask Bose for a refund or will sell them. Edit: what’s even

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. But XM6 has it i believe, just the muddy sound out of the box of QCU wants me to stick with Sony. I feel like i cant just feel the in-depth sounds with Bose that i hea

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
