A post-birthday gift

I’ve had the gen 1 QC earbuds since early 2021 and the QC Ultra headphones caught my interest a few months back especially since I’ve been traveling more in recent years. Decided to buy one late July as a gift for myself from a local distributor but the unit was defective so decided not to get a rep

I ❤️ Bose Headphones.

I’ve had the QuietComfort & QuietComfort Ultra for a while and I love them both, but I always regretted not getting the NC 700 because I thought they looked so sleek and modern. I found a refurbished/excellent pair online that was quite affordable so I bought them & they were in my hands within 48 h

Is it crazy that I still prefer my 10-year-old QC 35s over the new QC Ultras?

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 fear they are worth it🫢

So. I waited a year to get the Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones. I was using air pod pros for like 4 years uninterrupted. The only pair of over-ear headphones I've ever used were the ones in 2nd grade to play on computers, and my turtle beach gaming headset. I had an idea of what a "good" audio

Noise canceling is great, they're comfortable enough that I can wear them all day without headaches, they have a 24 battery life, it's easy to switch between noice canceling and regular without changing what you're listening to, they

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds ARE WEIRD for Phone Calls

I invested in the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, expecting top-tier performance given their premium price. While the audio quality for music is commendable, the call functionality is severely lacking.

During phone calls, especially in outdoor or noisy environments, my callers consistently report

'Higher end' noise cancelling earbuds feel so good

I was able to get Bose noise canceling earbuds (Bose quiet comfort ultra earbuds is what they are called if anyone is wondering) and being in any louder spaces now feels so much more better when it comes to sensory stuff with my hearing (previously I was using Loop earbuds and also bulky headphones

My replacement pair of bose qc ultras have arrived

Was really annoyed at how often, when using multipoint, how often the earbuds kept on disconnecting, then ultimately doing a restart every time I try to listen to these. Hopefully this pair will fare much better
