No trade-in program for QuietComfort Ultra Gen 1 Overear ?

The QC Ultra Gen 2 over-ear just dropped… and let’s be real: the “upgrades” (USB-C audio, better mic, more solid immersive/cinema mode, stable connection) are not really new features. They’re literally the stuff Gen 1 should have had from day one.

It feels like Bose has been making a habit of this

I recently bought the new Bose QC Ultra Gen 2. for 400 euros directly from the Bose. But after buying them, I'm not really satisfied. My first problem is comfort: I can't wear them longer than about 15 minutes before they start pressing on my ears and getting uncomfortable. The second problem is t

I switched from Bose QuietComfort to the Sony WH-1000MX4. Here’s why:

As a college student, I was looking for good quality and long lasting headphones with noise cancellation, and also something I can answer phone calls with/voice record with. Saw the Bose QC headphones on sale for Black Friday, so I bought them.

Cons:

  1. They’re smaller than I thought
  2. Gave me bad migra

How do I fix my Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones?

The right ear cup has separated from the band. The audio cable still works. I can push the cup back on but it falls back off as soon as I take the headphones off. I tried Bose support and they wanted me to pay $300 for new headphones.

What's up with this ridiculous price for QuietComfort Ultra headphones??

They're doing construction in my building, and since my old QCIII are ancient and disconnect whenever I strap more than 5 meters from my computer, I thought I'd pick up another pair of the excellent QCUltra headphones. But what the hell is up with this price? It feels way more expensive than I've bo

Thinking of switching from Sonys headphones to Bowers&Wilkins,which should I pick?

I absolutely love the PX8-S2. I tried out the APM 2 and Bose QC ultra 2 first. They both were returned when I got the B&W.

Bose QC- Yay or Nay

I wouldn't recommend the Bose QC Ultra 2 HP it’s more than twice the budget being asked for here and has known build quality issues right out of the box, making it a complete lottery ticket. Worse, if you get a defective unit with clicking hinges, Servify service center for bose located in Delhi,Ind

The State of Bose

I have been a follower of this brand for a long time. As enthusiastic as I was for older Bose products, I cannot help but realize that most of their current offerings are not competitive with the market, and seemingly, not as cutting edge as they used to be.

It’s a challenge to look at Bose produ
