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

Favorite wireless headphones?

I have Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, I absolutely love them. 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

'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

QC vs QC Ultra (Gen 1) – worth +60€?

I was really torn between these two models as well. From what I’ve read, the 1st Gen Ultras can be quite problematic. People mentioned that because the volume buttons aren’t physical, there are times when they just don’t register a touch. Also, I heard that the Spatial Audio doesn't work quite like

Looking for Headphones with the Best Noise Cancelling (Work & Reading Focus)

Sony is largely considered the top tier noise canceling headphones, they also have ldac capabilities so you also get near lossless sound quality, but a lot of people find the frequency they use for anc to be rather uncomfortable. So it's a trade off. This is for widely available commercial grade hea

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds

These just arrived today! First off, the color is absolutely beautiful and I am so glad i waited to purchase until after these were released.

First impressions, ANC is amazing, they are super comfortable (airpods and airpods pro both hurt my ears within minutes), but they occasionally pause/disconn
