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

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. Bose QC45 Ren

best wireless headphone recos?

I've been using the Sony WH-1000XM5 for a while now and they've been really reliable. Very comfortable for long sessions and the sound is warm and full without being annoying or muddy. Battery life is very good too, I charge them maybe once a week with regular use. The noise cancellation system is a

The Price Chopper near me plays country music and it makes me not want to shop there.

I feel you on this. I think it would be a good idea to formally submit your feedback to them via email if you can. Have you ever tried wearing headphones that allow some audio from your environment to pass through along with music? I have three pairs of headphones that do this in different ways: Bos
