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.

Please, please do not buy the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds

Praying this appears to potential buyers of the Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds. Please, please do NOT buy them. I've had such a myriad of issues with them, I've had to have them replaced 3 times due to seal and charging issues. And even when they function as intended, the slight buzzing interferenc

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

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 4th pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra's... all faulty!

I've just sent off my fourth pair of Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for a replacement - this will be my third replacement due to recurring issues. Each pair has had problems like random Bluetooth disconnections or noticeably low sound from the left ear. I'm genuinely puzzled. I wear them every s

Approved headsets?

Man, at my company, half the pilots use Bose QC plus the mic attachment. They all sound awful. Don't do that. Pretty sure we require TSO too. So no, most people don't care. But, like the other guy said, on the off chance you do encounter someone who does, then best case they make you wear the ship s

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

Approved headsets?

Bose QC plus the mic attachment. They all sound awful. Don't do that. I recently learned that the UflyMike is TSO certified (if you use the Bose QC2, according to their website. And I agree…don’t use the. They suck for everyone else. Plus, the microphone is always falling away from your face. I see

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
