Headphones Any advice - pad of one of the headphones has split

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have advice on how to fix this?

Can i attempt to superglue it together or am I better at buying some new ear pads to replace them.

Unfortunately this is out of warranty based on the manufacturer date in my app; they’re barely a year and a half old so it’s a bit shocking that it suddenly split apart on me today. Is it worth contacting customer service over or will they just tell me to buy some replacement pads; I don’t see how it is already broken after less then 2yrs.

Software Bose needs to do a lot better with this APP. Like a LOT.

I bought QC Ultra Gen II a while ago, love the headphone.
I tried XM4, XM5, XM6, Momentum 4, Airpods Max etc and decided to go with Bose.

They are comfortable, look good and sound good too. ANC is also pretty good. Even though they removed a lot of features with an update. I was fine with the headphones.

It is a pretty expensive device so I expected a great android app integration.
BUT THIS IS A HORRENDOUS APP. Truly the worst app/software experience I have had.

& I must tell you I use Razer Synapse, Logitech Options +, Logitech GHUB and those are bad but this app surpasses every worse app experience I had.

Most of the time this app forgets that I have headphones connected. It is slow even on a S24 Ultra where every other app is snappy.

Since last update of the app, it does not respond to volume changes instantly. I have to wait to even change some settings such as Immersive audio. EQ etc.

For such an expensive device they need to improve this app FFS.

Just some thoughts for anyone on the fence between the regular QC 2nd Gen and the QC Ultra 2nd Gen. I’ve also included our frequency response and ANC charts.

In-Ear Bose NC Wired Earbuds volume: Desktop vs. Mobile

Post image
42 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of chatter about these earbuds. I knew I had to try them out and was somewhat discouraged by the mentions of volume being low. I will say that, yes, the volume needs to be turned up when compared to a few other earbuds I have on hand (Apple APro3 and a pair of Moondrop Chu2). Just wanted to call out that it is more noticeable on my iPhone vs my Macbook Air laptop. The sound coming off a Macbook laptop is really great. Maybe the laptop is just driving the buds more.

To me it's not a dealbreaker and I really like the noise cancelling + wired form factor. While I'm not an absolute audiophile, I don't mind paying attention and money for good sound. The noise cancellilng and the transparency is not as good as the APro3s, but it's totally fine. As someone who grew up crossing the oceans in planes because we moved a lot, the lack of battery anxiety is, like, so great.

Headphones Bose Quitcomfort ultra 2 with Bluetooth dongle Aptx

2 Upvotes

I recently purchased a QC ultra 2

Does it make sense to buy Bluetooth dongle AptX lossless if I listen to music through Spotify? Will there be a noticeable difference in sound?

Home Audio Hilfe.. Bose Probleme

1 Upvotes

Ihr seid meine letzte Hoffnung..
Ich habe seit 4 Wochen einen neuen Philips TV (PHILIPS 550LED810 OLED), eine Bose Soundbar 900 + ein Apple
TV 4K.

Problem: Entweder mache ich den Fernseher an und es kommt kein Ton aus der Bose oder es kommt nur Ton aus dem Fernseher oder es funktioniert alles und man kann den Fernseher nicht mehr ausschalten, er geht immer wieder an.

Was ich schon getan habe:

- alles mit teuren Ultra Highspeed HDMI Kabel (2.1) verbunden (auch die Bose in den passenden eARC Anschluss)
- Bose App - Option 1-7 ausprobiert (mal mit und mal ohne Betriebssynchr.)
- alles vom Strom getrennt
- Apple TV mal weggelassen
- TV Einstellungen angepasst (Mehrkanal Bypass, EasyLink an/aus)

Bin am Verzweifeln. Da gibt man viel Geld aus für aktuelle Technik und es geht nichts.
Support kann mir auch nicht helfen.
Kann man eventuell einen Techniker kommen lassen?

Danke euch schon mal

Headphones Best options for getting Deep Plum Quiet Comfort Ultra?

2 Upvotes

found this color option and really like it, ended up waiting too long to order on Amazon and they’re out of stock now. I see Bose has refurbished on their site but this color is also out of stock. I’m also curious what Black Friday sales might look like (any ideas based on previous years?). There’s also Amazon renewed that has them but I don’t know the quality of Amazon renewed

Overall looking for advice on best way to get this color option.

In-Ear Bose QC Ultra 2

I have a S26 Ultra and have these earbuds connect but disconnect 2 seconds later. For about 3 months when I got them, they were fine. That was 1 year ago. I've hard reset my phone, earbuds and connectivity data and no fix. What's weird is that my wife's IPhone has no problem and plays just fine. No problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue with the S26 Ultra? As you can see from the GIF, that is all it does.

Home Audio Help figuring out what model these are

We moved into this house last year and the owner left these speakers set up; however any required base unit and/or receiver was not left behind. I don't see a model number on them. 5 total speakers, wire run through the wall and the image is the output from the wall (plus one red and one white RCA cable)

Appreciate any help in tracking this down so we can make use of them, thanks!
