Already starting to hate these headphones (Melomania P100)

You bought a wireless pair of headphones to use them as a wired pair of headphones, but also to use in bed? I think someone needed to do more research before making a purchase. These are, outside of absolute ANC and transparency performance, amongst the best pair of wireless headphones I’ve tried, i

After about a month of research I ended up going for the QCU2. Two weeks in now and I'm pretty happy with them. Here's my thoughts.

I have this setup too: Bose QCU 2 + Dongle Sennheiser BTD 700 and I have purle light (AptX Lossless) and it sounds amazing, no compression at all, like if its cable connected via USB-C. It’s basically CD quality (if the source is losslesss too). The only problem with Aptx Lossless (purple light on B

Bose quiet comfort ultra headphones vs AirPods Max

I own both, and have flown with both too. I think either is a good option, but I’d give the QCU a little advantage just in terms of storage and wearing around your neck when you need to take them off briefly for whatever reason, also they’re lighter. And with multipoint you can have them paired to b

Bose Quietcomfort 35’s can’t hold charge long + Solid white light

Not with Bose, I'm new to them. And can't work this weird way how they're connecting to sources. Annoying AF! I have QC and QC Ultra gen 1. Ultra is even more annoying, but it's the quality of how they sound, both are great.

Looking for Headphones with the Best Noise Cancelling (Work & Reading Focus)

Sony is largely considered the top tier noise canceling headphones, they also have ldac capabilities so you also get near lossless sound quality, but a lot of people find the frequency they use for anc to be rather uncomfortable. So it's a trade off. This is for widely available commercial grade hea

Bose Trade In Program

I have a pair of ~7 year old QC35s. They are great - but looking to upgrade to have something newer / better / with USB C. I see they just released the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).

I would like to do the Bose Trade In program as they seem to have the best discount. However, they

What headphone disappointed you at first...then grew on you?

Mine is not a Sennheiser. I have Sennheiser Headphones and I'm more than happy with them (Wireless over-ear: Momentum 4 & HDB630, Wired over-ear: HD599 & HD650). However, a pair I wasn't fond of but is now a regular is the Bose QC Ultra 2nd Gen HP. The trick: EQing it to correct the V-shape tuning a

Earbuds based on what you need them for

I'm curious why Bose QC Ultras aren't mentioned as often as I remember. Is it because the software/connection/reliability is so bad and people are sick of it the last few years? I bought the QC IIs new 2 years ago, had issues after 4 months, they sent me new QC Ultras. Most issues fixed, but just un

I find some new Images: Momentum 5

I own the momentum 4 and I will be very happy if Sennheiser made the ear cups on the M5’s more comfy on the ear like the Bose QC ultra 2. Also, better ANC and smoother multipoint connection. For sound quality, I am very happy with the sound from the momentum 4, so I trust the momentum 5 to be a plea
