What’s a tech product that shocked you with how long it’s lasted?

Bose QC 35 headset. Purchased this around the middle of 2016. Thrown in my work bag and used multiple times a day, every day until just a few weeks ago when one ear stopped making sound. Over 9 years of absolute abuse was amazing. I replaced it with the Bose quiet comfort ultra, the new ones are nic

Whats a thing you own that you are convinced everyone should go buy right now?

My daughter wears headphones all the time. Loves it for music, phone connection, computer, etc. She is in college and had a cheaper set. I got her Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra for Christmas. She so loves the sounds and it's ability to pull through voices and cancel noise. It is like 10 steps up and she

Harhaanjohtavat Black Friday/Month jne "tarjoukset"

Itsellä pisti silmään Gigantin ja Verkkokaupan harhaanjohtava mainonta Bose Quietcomfort Ultra (Gen 1) -kuulokkeissa. "Vanha hinta" on Gigantissa 499 ja Verkkokaupassa 519 ja nyt molemmilla alennettuun hintaan 299e. Harhaanjohtavaa tästä tekee sen, että kaikkialla muualla samaiset gen 1 kuulokkeet o

BLACKPINK LISA - WHEN I'M WITH YOU feat. Tyla

Tyla absolutely carried the song while I usually love polished music videos, this one felt more like a Bose commercial to promote their product. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m a fan of BOSE products and QuietComfort Ultra is my go-to headset for blasting music and escaping the world’s chaos. However,

What is in your 121 flight bag!

Gaming laptop if I want to slam click. Battery charger for charging headset and flashlight batteries. Bose QC Ultra for deadheads and playing my porn at full volume in my hotel room (don’t want to disturb the neighbors)

ULPT: eavesdrop with your iPhone and AirPods

You can get earbuds that block out background noise but let you hear voices clearly. I’ve got the Bose QC ultra ones. It's dramatically different. You don't realize how noisy your life is. All the little hums and buzzes go away. Even the loud fan is nearly inaudible. But you can hear people much mor

Upstairs neighbour noisy every weekend — need cheap quiet places to crash 2–4 nights/wk

I can suggest Bose quiet comfort ultra earbuds, they're $239 but it cancels out even the brown line train screeching .

say that 3x fast

This is the one good thing about bose. Theyre headphones last like two years max, maybe a year before breaking. But (and this isnt advertised so ymmv) they have either replaced with same model, or just upgraded me to whatever the new one is. I went from soundsports to qc buds to qc buds ultra withou

Bose QC Ultras are top shelf noise cancelling headphones. Maybe best ANC on the market. I don't think anyone has legs to stand on to say anything different. You did well by your daughter, those are an excellent gift. (I use Senheiser Momentum 4s and don't own any Bose products)
