Does Apple even Care? Apple AirPods Max 2 vs. Sony WH-1000XM6 - SoundGuys

I bought the QC 35 and thought it was absolute garbage. Noice cancellation didn’t really work and was buggy. The plastic was so cheap quality and the cushions fell apart by looking at it. Stopped using them and cursed Bose. Many years later I found them and started looking at them more carefully and

For anyone who needs noise-cancellation

I went through testing out 2 different types of headphones in the past month since the noise where I work is pretty loud (small room, lots of people, and broken thermostats that just keep hissing to try to drive me to madness). I couldn't play sound on them per company policy, so this was at the bas

Kids crying

I keep seeing noise cancelling headphones mentioned on threads like this so excuse my hijacking, but I spent so much money on a pair of Bose QC and they don’t work at all with high pitched, intermittent crying / screaming noises! Does anyone have any recommendations? Saving up for my own private jet

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

My issues with Bose Quietcomfort Ultra headphones

Hello, friends! Recently, I received a pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for $330, aiming to replace my Sony WH-1000XM4s. The most common use cases are outdoor, transportation, and traveling. At home, I use the planar EDIFIER STAX Spirit S5 headphones.

Well, I like the overall weight, buil

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

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

Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones Gen2 ANC not fully kicking in initially

So I pulled the trigger and got the Gen2 for testing, especially hoping it has better microphone quality. And it indeed seems the mics not muffled anymore, but I will report about that later.

I noticed a new defect though. When I put on the headphones, initially the ANC seems weak. The way to fix i
