The ear cushions on my Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are peeling after 5 MONTHS of only home usage (I replaced the cushions on my previous Bose Noise Cancelling 700 headphones used for traveling after 2 YEARS)

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:

Earpad starting to peel on QuietComfort Ultras, anything I can do?

Earpad is starting to peel on one ear in the last couple of days. Really annoying as these are only about one year old. Each day it gets slightly worse!

Can the earpads be replaced? I sure hope so. Otherwise I might see about warranty.

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

"Popping" sound/s when walking heavy/running with QuietComfort Ultra

When I have the new QC Ultra on and walk around heavier than usually, basically a bit between walking and stomping, it's sort of a popping sound in both earpads.

The best way to simulate would be to just stand and sort of run while standing still or even jumping for a very clear sound. This happens

Help me choose! 🎧

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

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.

Earbuds for running – struggling with Bose QC Ultra staying in

Hi all,

I’ve been having a tough time finding the right earbuds for running. I had the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 1) for under a year, but they gave me loads of problems, constant Bluetooth dropouts, a bit of hissing in both ears, and the biggest issue they kept falling out whenever I ran or swea

Worst design of the eartip

Anybody know how to clean the earliest wax from the earbuds mesh ?

These Bose Quietcomfort Ultra 2 earbuds have the worst eartip design I've seen. The filter (mesh) is with earbuds instead of eartip and I had to send these to Bangalore service centre just to clean the earwax. 🤦🏻

My previous Jabra E

QuietComfort Ultra Headphones owners - can you disable noise cancelling?

Adding to this on why not to buy the Bose QuietComfort Ultras: Noise cancellation causes headaches while on the bus, the rattling and wobbling noises are excessive and actually causes overstimulation. There is no button to turn noise cancellation off, it has to be done in the app. Often the Bluetoot
