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

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

Returned Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds after almost a month of use :/

Honestly, I was kinda bummed to let them go due to the amazing sound and nose canceling. But ultimately, the price point and all the issues I was having just simply wasn't worth it. I'd rather have my $300 back and continue looking for a pair of noise canceling earbuds that suit me.

Pros:
- Bes

It is honestly atrocious how bad the multi-point is on Bose headphones

This post is just to rant, ignore if you want.

Multipoint is often almost completely unusable and there's no way to switch devices in the app to help alleviate some of the frustration. Better just to disable it entirely with how unreliable it is. Honestly the most frustrating part of the QuietComfo

Bose QuietComfort Ultra reset sequence doesn't work

So my Bose QC Ultra over-ear headphones suddenly had the audio cut out. Fully, from one second to the next, and I can turn them off, enable them again, even unpair and pair them with multiple devices, change the volume on the device side, but the sound just doesn't come back. Through a jack cable, t

[rant] QC Ultra: Fire the guy who invented this hellish power button

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

Vraag ANC koptelefoon (WH-1000XM4 vervangen)

Ik was altijd die hard fan van bose, maar de nieuwste versie (Quietcomfort ultra second gen) teruggestuurd. Frequent software issues, de noise cancelling als brildrager viel tegen, en het geluid klonk 'scherper' dan wat ik gewend ben van Bose. Ik kreeg dit ook niet naar mijn wens met de EQ settings.

Issue with Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 1

Hello all-knowing reddit :)

I have this weird issue with my Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphone. A bit context: It's connected to two devices at the same time, one is a MacBook Air M3, one is a Pixel 8.

Now, when I'm trying to play a video on YouTube or play music on Spotify on my Pixel, it won't st
