I bought the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for $650 AUD less than a year ago because I have severe sensory issues due to having autism.

Not happy with Bose QC Ultra 2

I recently bought the new Bose QC Ultra Gen 2. for 400 euros directly from the Bose. But after buying them, I'm not really satisfied. My first problem is comfort: I can't wear them longer than about 15 minutes before they start pressing on my ears and getting uncomfortable. The second problem is t

My Disappointing Experience with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

I’ve had a bunch of noise-canceling headphones over the years: AirPods Pro and Pro 2, Parrot Zik 3, Sony XM3, and for the last five years, I’ve been using Bose QC35II daily. I absolutely love those for how comfy they are.

When the Bose QC Ultra Headphones came out, I watched a ton of reviews and fi

Anker's new 'Thus' chip claims 150x more AI compute for earbuds using compute-in-memory architecture -- interesting approach but where are the real-world benchmarks?

Nothing. (Good) Headphones are just better sounding. Small in-ears with Dac, bluetooth, noise cancellation chips, can only do so much. Sonys (xm5) ive owned for a few years, they are good but annoy my ears. Bose QC Ultra i owned for a couple days before i found out there was a annoying clicking soun

"I got a remote job and I can spend 4 hours a day doing nothing!"

I have had Bose QC 35's since like 2017 i think. I have bought the sony mdr 1000 or what have you, and I have a variety of dac amps and open backs and closed backs of all sorts. Thousands of dollars worth of headphones. But the point I want to make is that I can't stand doing that 5 days a week for

6 month old QC 35 Ultra $300 Premium Headphones. Is this covered in Warranty? Looks like the glue holding it came off.

Cut your losses and buy Wicked Cushions. The QC of Bose headphones are not stellar. I think they use glue to reduce the cost instead of stitching. I had my for about 2 years before I had to buy new ear pads so your mileage may vary.

I switched from Bose QuietComfort to the Sony WH-1000MX4. Here’s why:

As a college student, I was looking for good quality and long lasting headphones with noise cancellation, and also something I can answer phone calls with/voice record with. Saw the Bose QC headphones on sale for Black Friday, so I bought them.

Cons:

  1. They’re smaller than I thought
  2. Gave me bad migra

QC Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) Neck Pain?

Just got the new QC Ultra and they seem to be worsening my neck and shoulder pain. They sit so tightly under my ear- I think that is the main issue. I've tried angling them outwards which definitely relieves pressure but then they go back into the painful position within a few seconds.

I had a

I love this app so much (no)

I've got mine connected to my Pixel 9 Pro and iPad... they both lag at connecting and it got worse after my QC Ultra Gen2's upgraded to firmware 8.2.20. I suspect an app update is long overdue. These are my first Bose bluetooth headphones. They are comfortable to wear all day, but the app needs a da
