Does anyone actually use Bluetooth adapters on planes?

My Bose QC’s come with a cord I can just plug into the inflight entertainment if it’s a long flight. If it’s short and I don’t want to bring those I can listen to an audiobook or podcast on my phone with AirPods

Ordered refurbished QuietComfort headphones from Bose for $143 (code SAVE10) and received a brand new unit

The seal on the back says ‘refurbished’ but it came in a new retail box in a brand new condition. Upgraded my old QC35ii and the bluetooth range on the this unit is almost double.

are the IEMs worth it? advice before placing an order for my first DAP

With the Echo Mini, you're going to be limited to the SBC codec, which is really not great when it comes to sound quality. You could use your Bose with a wired connection, though, and it will sound much better than Bluetooth. Will IEMs be an improvement in sound quality over wired, over ear headphon

I love my Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 🎧

I just wanted to say… these things are phenomenal.

The noise cancellation is unreal — it’s like stepping into a private sound bubble. On public transport? Gone. People chatting around me? Gone. Just me, my music, and peace.

The sound quality is rich, warm, and balanced — not too bass-heavy, not to

From the 70s to the mid-2020s

Here’s my setup put together over the last few years, starting w/ a vintage Elac Miracord 50H turntable my grandfather bought in the early 70s, built in West Germany (from the owner’s manual). I run it through the Fosi X2 phono preamp into the Yamaha A-S301. The two other inputs are an SMSL 1000 CD

Bose QuietComfort Ultra VS Sony WH-1000XM5

I had Sony WH-1000XM5 for 6 months. After that, unfortunately, right earcup stopped working. I was compensated the money and decided to buy a Bose QuietComfort Ultra as I thought it'd be an upgrade. I used Bose QC Ultra for 2 days which was enough for me to make a comparison between them.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds battery at 80-90%

I own a Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds for almost a year now, but this is my 2nd replacement as I have problems with bluetooth connectivity so they replaced a new one.

My current now is about 5 months old. Now, due to the recent firmware updates, my earbuds (both) battery is always at 80-90% and h

PS Vita 2000 with Air Pods 4.Gen

The Gen 2 pro's have the same issue From what I've seen, the vita is too old to support the current Bluetooth standard. If I use headphones I typically use my Bose QC's since my AP's don't work

Keep the Bose or return for the Sony XM6?

Keep the Bose - I was in same position and had them both to test out for a month. IMO, Bose is much more comfortable and the usb c connection for lossless is a solid plus. Also, something most people don’t know, the Bose sound will adapt to your ear if you turn them on while wearing them. Personally

Bose Quietcomfort Ultra review. Some poor product decisions by Bose.

I'm eager to give this feedback to both, other potential buyers as well as Bose, who I believe can greatly improve this product by just a few tweaks.

I bought the Ultra Headphones as an update for my previous QC45, I've also used 700's for some time ago, borrowed them from a friend to com
