BOSE QuietComfort Ultra (2. Gen.) Headphones ruined after February Update
Unfortunately I only can exchange them for another pair in my country. I bought them directly from Bose and there isn’t an option to return them. I’ll probably wait a little if there will be a fix of the update, but if not I’ll either try to ask Bose for a refund or will sell them. Edit: what’s even

Hvor meget white noise er deres i jeres høretelefoner?
Har både haft bose 45 QC og 45 QC ultra, og har aldrig bemærket støj under ANC. 45 Qc kunne godt have svært ved støjreducering under vind. Vil dog sige bygningskvaliteten var været overraskende lav. Måske er jeg bare uheldig, har haft 2 45 QC der begge gik i stykker og blev repareret under garantien

Help me choose! 🎧
My XM2's are still going strong like 8 years later. I just whipped them out again after one of the earpads on my QC Ultra tore clean open after not even 1 year of use and I treat them pretty well. Apparently a very common issue. Now I'm debating spending $50 on replacement cushions. Also to be perfe

Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 – clunking and cracking noises still an issue?
After half a year of being happy with my QuietComfort Ultra 2, I have also started hearing the cracking noise. I'm thinking about going for the XM6 now, and I'm just a bit worried about their fit, as the BOSE are perfect.

My Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra were flooded.
Unfortunately yeah, no IP rating on these — that's one of the biggest misses Bose still hasn't fixed even on the new Gen 2. Put them in a bag of silica gel packets or uncooked rice for 48 hours, but honestly if the blue light is acting weird it's probably done. Worth noting for the future: Gen 2 sti

My Earcups on Bose QC Ultra broke after 3 months
The material splitting is a known defect. Bose support will replace them if you politely bug them about it But the replacement will do the same thing after a few months. Get a good after-maket pair of earcups. I went through at least 7-8 official Bose earcups on mine before I gave up. I've got the Q

Quiet Comfort build quality
Honestly I would have disagreed with you, but my now coming up on 1 year old qc ultra overears are feeling pretty cheap right now, the swivel hinge on the earcups creaks so loudly, my earcups themselves both spontaneously ripped just as the 1 year mark hits. Luckily I called Bose just in time before

Which one is better? The Bose qc ultra or sony wh-1000xm5
There are sometimes some clicking or scratching sounds that I can hear, but it's only noticable in silent moments. However you should get the Sony's because the QCU are unreliable and Bose doesn't support their products. They wont do anything about my QCU that lost audio in one ear EVEN THOUGH I BOU

Should I or should I not?
Gonna be contradictory. Maybe just my experience but I’ve had 2 of the gen 1 QCU and both had button issues with the hardware and consistent problems with dropping Bluetooth connections. Just my experience so I don’t know how common the issues are but noting for you. The ANC is very good, as is the

thoughts on quiet comfort ultra?
Once sorted out I generally like my QCUs, especially the comfort and deep ear cups, but: The ear cushions split along the sonic welded seams WAY too quickly, and Bose replacements are very pricey. I tried aftermarket that looked and fit well, but the loss of a lot ANC makes them a NO-GO. I have repa
