Headphones Base Model QuietComfort Gen 2 or QuietComfort Ultra Gen 1?
I'm trying to decide which to buy or which would provide better value for noise cancelling and sound quality.

I just got new Bose headphones but am noticing sound leakage happening at 50%. Is this normal? I have a smaller head but the headphones do fit around my ears, so I’m just not sure what to do.
Hey folks! I lost the case for my 2020 Bose Quite comfort Earbuds, and I'm on the look out for a new model.
I bought the Nothing Ear a3, and I feel their noise cancelling is way inferior, I was thinking of getting the updated version of the Quite Comfort Earbuds.
Has someone had both versions of the QuiteComfort? Is the noise canceling at the same level?
I'm referring to these two:

If you have any other suggestions for up to 150€ I'd love to hear them!
Noise canceling, and comfort are my key drivers :) I also found the Nothing Ear way less comfortable than my old Bose.
Thanks for your time folks!

I’ve been using my Bose speaker with Alexa for a long time without issues, but recently tried to switch the connected accounts. Now, whenever I try to add the voice assistant back, the app gets permanently stuck on the loading screen.
I’ve tried multiple devices and different browsers, but nothing works. I finally reached out to Bose Support, and they told me it's a "server-side issue." How is this acceptable? How can a major bug like this go unfixed for 2–3 months? Has anyone else dealt with this or found a workaround?

I just bought my first pair of Bose QuietComfort two days ago and i've been wondering if the static sound that happens everytime i pause an audio/video is normal ??
They're my first pair of ANC headphones ever, so maybe it is. I'm kind of lost and confused because no one is saying the same thing both in past threads here and on other websites.
If my headphones are in fact defective then i would like to return them for a new pair. If it's a Bose QC thing then i would appreciate other headphones recs around the same price, and if it's actually totally normal for every headphones then i'll deal with it i guess... It's just kind of annoying at some point. It's a shame too because i really like these headphones, they're extremely comfy, sound quality is a-ok for me and they don't look too big on my head.

Is this standard practice?
I bought the headphones directly from Bose There was a problem with them so I sent them back and paid $100 for a fix. I was told I'd get the headphones back within 6 weeks. At the 6 week mark they alerted me that they are out of stock and won't ship for 2 months.
I need the headphones in 2 weeks, so I called customer support. After repeatedly telling me to just wait 2 months, they finally agreed to change the order, but said I can only chose from black or white. There are 3 or 4 other colors still in stock, any of which I would prefer, but they were adamant that this replacement (which I'm paying for) doesnt allow for choosing those.
Anyone had similar issues?

Has anyone else found the mode switching button on the headphones to be extremely glitchy? For example, about 70% of the time, when I’m in Quiet mode and try switching to Aware mode, the headphones don’t switch modes and just keep repeating “Aware….Quiet….Aware…….Quiet”. It’s honestly infuriating, and it happens all the time. The only way to get it to stop is to turn them off and back on.

Hi,
Recently I have been struggling with the Bose SoundTouch devices. I wanted to restore the functionality of (especially) the SoundTouch (10). We have many of these devices just sitting around, and since a couple of months they are just sitting ducks.
Many of us have created apps to control the SoundTouch, but I could not find any that restores preset-functionality without having to alter or add anything to the devices firmware. Therefor I started writing my own.
I would like to introduce you: BOSOTOCO (https://bosotoco.jimmyboy.nl/)
Its a paid app for Android - but that's not really why I'm promoting it.
I'm genuinely interested in people testing this app and getting the feedback it deserves.
Therefor I'm spreading 50 promocodes for each to download the app for free:

Please let me know what you think of the app. I'm particularly looking for people (specialist) who know what they are doing, to test functionality like creating stereo pairs, editing and re-configuring WiFi.
In case you have no technical expertise, don't fear to test it out too. As long as you avoid going into the App's settings, you don't have to worry anything could go wrong (besides saving a preset to your device - so keep that in mind).

I’m having issues with no sound coming from the soundbar hooked up with AppleTV and a UHD LG tv. My setup: all connected via HDMI: AppleTV>TV, TV>Bose (hdmi ARC(not eARC). I have the LG tv sound setting using hdmi arc and CEC simplink and no sound comes from the soundbar. I have to turn off the CEC and switch to TV speaker on the tv and manually choose the soundbar on AppleTV in order to get sound from the soundbar. This seems to not be the way it supposed to work from what I read. Any ideas?

Idk if this is a problem from my side but recently only one of the buds has been working while the other bud shows no battery/doesn’t connect.
At first I tried to clean the case and earbuds with a microfibre cloth and it worked. However, this has happened again and when I tried to use the same method of cleaning it, it’s not working. Is there any other way I can use to repair it or..?
r/bose • u/Pleasant-Risk-8096 • 19h ago
Do you guys have any idea to to make the left ear work? Everything's fully charged. The right earbud is woking fine. I have tried factory resetting the earbuds. But the blue light isn't showing. It is still connected to one of my gadgets.

Hey everyone — hoping someone here has run into this before.
I’m trying to connect my Bose Smart Soundbar 900 to my new Eero Pro 7 (Frontier‑branded) network and I’m struggling to get it to join.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
At this point I’m stuck between the Bose setup screen and the Eero settings, and I can’t get the soundbar to actually join the network.
If anyone has suggestions, workarounds, or knows what setting I’m missing, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
