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

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?

It's a shame that a product that costs 400$ starts to deteriorate one year after usage.. anyway, you can buy and replace your pads from the Bose site https://www.bose.com/p/accessories/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-headphones-ear-cushion-kit/CMWB-QCUH-CUSHIONKIT.html

Accidental fall bose ear buds quietcomfort ultra 2nd gen

This is the second time an earbud falls once on the ground and the noise cancellation gets broken. The first gen was a lot more sturdy. For 300€ it's unacceptable.

New QuietComfort Ultra vs NC700

I was looking over the tech specs for the new QuietComfort Ultra over the ear headphones, and can't really see anything that would make me trade in my NC700s (which I love) for them. I am assuming this is positioned to replace the NC700, but with few significant improvements. Am I missing somethin

myboseid.bose.com pop-up on Android

Same here with my QuietComfort Ultra headphones. The myboseid.bose.com thing happens even when the headphones aren't connected, which is just wild. Any app that uses the internet can trigger it. On top of that, I have to reset the device every time I switch between devices. 350 euro headphones btw.

Can earbuds really compare to headphones in terms of ANC?

I was always blown away by my Samsung and Sony earbuds. I bought whatever was the newest of those 2. However, I had no means of comparison. Eventually I thought "let me try the Sonyxm4". Good grief what a difference. Just this week, I decided since I had $100 gift card to target let me get the Bose

Bose QuietComfort Review (My Favourite)

Its just a pity that Bose don't do updates via their app like apple and sony do,if you want any of the new or updated listening modes,(as with the new 2nd gen Quiet Comfort Ultra's cinema mode),you have to shell out another £450 for the priviledge!! One big money scamming con!
