Px8s2 on the plane
I bought a pair of the Bose QC Ultra 2 headphones to replace my overly heavy AirPod Max. The Bose and the AirPods were roughly the same when it came to ANC. But the Bose sounded terrible. Music sounded compressed, like it was never truly quiet and distinct parts of the music were blurred over. While

Sennheiser HDB 630 review: Audiophile ANC, at a cost
Well, it‘s a bit like the review says: „If you absolutely need superior ANC, then you’re going to have to get comfortable with a number of tradeoffs. For example, you could grab any of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen.) ($449 at Amazon), Sony WH-1000XM6 ($448 at Amazon), or JBL Tour One M3 ($449

Bose QuietComfort ultra..impossible to listen to on the bus
Hi, I own the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and I recently bought the px8 as well. I'm so confused.. I bought the px8 thinking I would make a significant leap in terms of audio quality. And instead, paradoxically, I like the low sounds of the Bose better. The sound seems more dynamic.. More fun. But The t

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

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:

I need recommendations for noise canceling headphones that ACTUALLY silence the world around me. Pls help…
ANC headphones just won't do this. For total silence, you need ear defenders possibly paired with earplugs I have Bose QuietComfort earbuds and QuietComfort Ultra over-ear headphones. The earbuds are more effective, but I can still hear some noises. I like the over-ear headphones to signal to people

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Headphones
I recently bought Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Headphones.
- How do I turn off ANC completely? Reducing the ANC activates the Aware Mode, which enhances surrounding sounds in a way that I find undesirable. The quality is poor, and I hear random hisses and sounds artificial.
