Bose SoundTouch Goes Open Source
I find the sound quality to be great. It's not as great as the Sony equivalents, but for me the QuietComfort 45 II are far more comfortable than the Sony ones. I originally got the Sony whatevers many years ago and returned them because after a couple of hours wearing them, my ears really hurt. I ca

My Adderall works fine for things I HAVE to do, like work, but I still can't bring myself to do things I don't want to do. Like cleaning.
My sleep headphones might not won't work for you but I absolutely adore them. I use Bose QC45 over the ear headphones and adjusted my pillow to accommodate. My old dog gets up to pee at night and used to wake me up. Now I can't hear it. I should mention that I prefer my previous model of the QC45. T

How Does MacBook Neo Cost Less Than Apple’s AirPods Max 2 Headphones?! - CNET
So which Bluetooth anc headphones follow the curve all the way and not have any dropped off? I'm not sure. You'd have to research it. The Bose Quiet Comfort 45's do pretty good up to about 8k (follow the red and green lines), which is forgivable compared to Apple dropping the ball at 1k. The Bose QC

Never buying any more Bose products again
I was right about to post the same thing. I’ve owned many Bose noise cancelling headphones over the years and used to be a vocal champion. Ever since I “upgraded” to the QC45 many years ago it’s been nothing but problems. The headphones constantly crackle and pop, which apparently happens when you h

Help! What is your favorite over ear noise cancelling headphones?
Bose QuietComfort 45 is my favorite. They're comfortable because they have low clamping force. Great noise canceling. The audio quality is decent. If you prioritize audio quality, you probably will want a different brand, though. Personally, not getting a headache is more important to me.

Seeking a recommendation for over-the-ear headphones 🎧
I like the Sennheiser HD 599 SE for wired, and Bose QC45 for bluetooth. Nice thing about the Bose is that you can also use them wired for better sound if wanted (bluetooth is a compressed lossy format, but obviously super convenient). These aren't "the best," but they are quite decent and not too ex

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 vs Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2. Gen.)
I've tried them all in the local store and settled on Bose QC Ultra Gen2. Sony lacks resolution and emphasize bass to much. For me they don't come even close to both Bose & B&W PX8S2 regarding sound quality. While I chose Bose because of the overall sound and comfort, I can't deny that B&W has bette

Bose QC45. Are yours perfect?
i’ve seen a lot of people mention this crackling thing with the QC45. honestly my pair from late 2022 doesn’t have it, but i know it’s been hit or miss for others. if you’re leaning toward returning them, i’d check out renewed units from amazon - sometimes older batches hold up better.

Album sound quality
It's much better live in its entirety that, I sampled at Wembley Arena in 1989. I have a cracking 7.1 surround sound system that comes close from Cambridge Soundworks. Listening to it over Bose QC45's and on the Bose system in my Mazda, it sounds characterless bass and flat. A five bar digital equal
