How Does MacBook Neo Cost Less Than Apple’s AirPods Max 2 Headphones?! - CNET

They're expensive, but I'm not sure I'd call them outrageous. They're pretty in line with other headphones in that class. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 is $450, Sennheiser HDB 630 is $500. And both of those are heavy with plastic and don't contain the H2 chip.

Finally got my first premium headphones.

I've been in a dilemma since last year after getting dissatisfied with the sound quality on my Soundcore Q30s. I kept swapping between AirPods Pro 2 and Galaxy Buds (I use a Samsung S23 Plus), but I have small ears and they always left me fatigued after long hours of calls and work.

So I decided to

Driftwood Sand - I hate it.

I waited for weeks for the Driftwood Sand to come in stock on Amazon, before buying the QC Gen 2s, because it was the only color I liked. They arrived yesterday. I already sent them back.

I thought it might just be my phone, but I've found several other stock photos and videos with a more accurate

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 .

After using the QC earbuds for 5 years, i have decided to upgrade

I have been wanting to upgrade my pair of earbuds and i initially was choosing between sony xm6 and bose qc ultra. After testing both in store, it was clear that sony’s headphone was slightly better but it doesn’t justify the price difference between xm6 and a discounted qc ultra.

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

When you buy refurbished but end up with brand new -thanks Bose 🙌

So I jumped on a deal for a refurbished QC Ultra for £240 (discount magic ✨). Felt like a steal.

Unboxed them, all hyped, and… surprise! One ear cup started heating up like it was trying to cook my ear. 🥵 Plus the right side had this weird ticking sound - like it was sending Morse code to the mothe

Truthear Pure: The Chosen One

After a year of trying different flavours, i have finally found the one. I've been through quite a few sets (all of them returned/sold/gifted because of having to EQ or impossible to EQ). This just hits right with S&S tips and a great wired alternative to my Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones. Good

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
