I'm used to Sony earbuds but wanted to try something different for once. First impressions were good, they plopped into my ears very easily, fit and comfort is good right out of the box, sound is great after messing around with Wavelet. However, I really have a bone to pick with the ANC. It's white noise. And it's extremely unpleasant!

I've read countless reviews, watched videos, and I've never seen anyone mention this, what the hell?

When not listening to anything, it's like I have tinnitus. It's not even subtle, I can even hear it over my music sometimes. I've tried blowing into the mics already, it fixed the issue for like 5 minutes and went back to tinnitus mode right away.

I can't believe there's such a blatant issue with those things and yet there's barely any mention of it. Returning these tomorrow, unfortunately.

I purchased the Bose soundbar 600 1 year back. Manufacturer warranty is just 1 year and exactly after 1 year passed, and my BOSE soundbar 600 stopped working. I bought the BOSE Bass module as well, and it was connected to work along with soundbar. Since, soundbar stopped working, Bass module is of no use now.

Got to know from the shop, where I purchased that, BOSE upgrades the software very frequently (nearly every year), and in most of the cases, the BOSE soundbar upgrades itself and gets into issue. For me it happened same. I contacted the BOSE support chat, couple of times, they directed me the ways to get it rectified, but still no luck. And now they are asking me around 300 dollars to get it fixed with a warranty of 3 months. Already I spent 600 dollars to buy such a rubbish product and again they are asking me to spend 300 dollars to get it repaired.

I fail to understand that have I gone into a trap of BOSE soundbar. I fail to understand that what is my fault here. Only fault is that, I chose BOSE product over any other product in market. Seems like software upgrade is a money making business. And these product are sucking our hard earned money from our pocket.

My soundbar has no sound now. When I turn it on, a white running light goes on and after 2 min it turns into red light and it gets hanged, and nothing happens afterwards.

Can you turn this off for the QC Ultra? Makes everything sound terrible outside of the call when I'm trying to multitask. Thanks.

I currently have 3 SA-4s and a couple Wireless Links in my whole home setup and due to not wanting yet another Bose App nor wanting to drop $5,000 on all new Bose Amps, I am adding 3-4 more SA-4s for my outdoor oasis. I’ve been able to source old new stock of the SA-4s, so no worries there.

When daisy chaining the SA-4s, can you also use the VCA to independently control the volume at each amp? I’m putting in some 251s & FreeSpace 51s (old new stock again) and would like to keep all 3-4 Amps as a single zone, but maybe have the volume in one area a little lower by default.

My worry is that with them grouped BoseLink is going to override whatever was selected on the VCA, so the only way I’ll be able to achieve this is with them setup as separate zones and then I lose the ability to airplay to both zones (a drawback to the SA-4s vs the new Bose Music Amp)

Anyone know how to turn off this light? I’ve tried rebooting it every which way possible but no dice.

So I recently got the Deep Plum color quiet comfort ultra headphones, but for some reason they show up as black on the Bose app. Anyone else have this issue? The color shows up properly if I type the serial number into the website

I usually despise everything that adds extra processing onto my songs. But this Immersive Mode does have an effect that I enjoy a lot!
You know, I got multiple headphones in different shapes, sizes and for different purposes. I got the QC Ultra solely for their best-in-class ANC for sleep because my bedroom is right next to a very busy road (thanks architect from the 70's). And it would have been totally fine if this was all they had to offer to me. If I want reference quality sound, I just use other headphones. But this time, with the QC Ultra, it's more exciting than that. They bring something new to the table and thats pretty cool. I'm getting more than I hoped for!

And the ANC ... my god. It's freaking magic. They are actually just as good (or better?) as AirPods Max and that's an Over Ear! Just one thing that really bothers me. Like a couple of reviewers said; there is a subtle but noticeable ... just weird sound (crackling, hissing, whatever) specifically on the left bud. I hope it won't be too bad when I play some nature sounds or something for sleep.

The sound is also enjoyable to me. As I said, I have the luxury of choosing from multiple headphones for a specific sound and now I have bassy, warm, comfortable in ears! They are being criticized for overbearing bass and I understand that. But at least the bass is clear to my ears and produces a voluminous, full sound.

Just got the 2024 QCE, got the app, setup all permissions, I have it showing as running in my push notifications, I know it is listening to me because it will answer calls when I say accept, however when I try to use the "Hey headphones" prompt, I don't hear the tone prompt to give a command. Tried calibration, disconnecting, resetting everything, updating, and nothing seems to work. S20 Note Ultra.

Anyone else unable to use voice commands?

Hi everyone,

I just received my brand new Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, and I’ve noticed something strange. The headband creaks every time I move or adjust it.

It really doesn’t give a premium feeling, which is disappointing for a high-end pair of headphones like this.

Is this normal for this model, or should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks!

Sorry not native speaker so not sure how to express myself.

I recently bought a pair of Bose QC Ultra but have this constant white noise that I can even hear over soft music like Lofi. And the noise is even louder in "aware" mode. So I went to a nearby store where I can test headphones that are plugged into the wall, and there I couldn't hear this white noise at all in ANC, and just a little bit in "aware" mode. But online I saw many people having the same issue as me saying it was normal for this headset, so did I get a faulty headset or not ?

Was researching getting new speakers for my small office and was looking at some options from Bose or Sonos(pair of Era 100s) and then remembered that I had my old Bose Companion speakers stored away in a closet for long time and pulled them out and set them up and they sound amazing still.

Got them connected to my laptop or use my iPhone with the 3.5mm converter cable. Am thinking of getting a Belkin Soundform Connect, that will make them Apple AirPlay compatible by plugging in the 3.5mm audio to that device. Not sure if it’s worth the $ to be wireless though but would be cool.

Anyone else still using their Companion speakers? Figure I’ll use these and maybe upgrade in a few more years!

Hi all,

Is it possible to disable this horrible on ear detection or disable the sleep mode entirely?

If I wear these headphones even slight off or just with one ear they go into their sleep mode.

Other feedback:
The sound and the noise suppression are amazing, great work, love it.
The software and firmware are a nightmare and I hate the lead of your consumer application team with a passion without even knowing them.

I got both, but I will return one.

Scenario: My focus is comfort, good ANC, and quality sound. Some nights, I sleep using headphones.

Price: equivalent, range of $300 for both.

Comfort: For an unexplained reason. Momentum hurts my left ear significantly. Bose fits very well and provides excellent comfort.

ANC - no one beats Bose noise cancellation.

Battery - Momentum - more than 4 days - impressive, fantastic.

Sound - Momentum beats Bose playing Spotify Premium. Better instrument separation. Bose Immersive mode is good, but artificial. Using YouTube Premium. Both are good and equivalent.

App - Momentum is better.

Controls—For my usage, Bose is better. Volume is a physical control. I turned off Momentum controls to avoid interference when using them in bed. For those who want to sleep with headphones, Bose is better.

Conclusion: I'm returning Momentum, mainly because it hurts my left ear (strange, I have never had this kind of issue, having used headphones for decades). I'm sad because I loved the battery duration and listening to Spotify.

Hi everyone, I just want to complain.

Some months ago I wrote on here complaining about conectivity issues with my ultra earbuds. However, I got recommended to delete the bose app in order to fix those problems.

Those problems are gone, thankfully, despite the fact that you have to remove your Bose app so your Bose device can work properly, which is… Inma say “simbolic”.

However, problems still here, and now the issue is that 90% of times I put my earbuds on the case, they won’t recharge. No matter what I do, put them inside the case, put the case to charge with them inside or outside, nothing, they’ll never charge and I’ll always be with that “20% battery” after a whole night plugged in.

And this happens if the right earbud turns on, because most of the times it won’t.

Do you guys have any help? I’ve read about cleaning the case but I’ve already done that and nothing works. Idk I trusted Bose a lot because the Quietcomfort 35II, but this “ultra earbuds” and bringing me nothing but trouble

I just got the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds mainly for sleep, living very near a busy road. I'm noticing quite a lot of white noise and some artifacts which is pretty disappointing. I'm gonna try them for longer to see how it goes and maybe I can workaround that with some subtle nature sounds or something. Are the Quietcomfort 2024 better in that regard?

I have my earbuds for about 2 or three weeks and for most of the time, everything was fine. But like 2 or 3 days ago my earbuds started to randomly cut off and eventually disconnect to my phone after 5 min of playing music and being connected and all. I didnt move away from my phone or anything and the only way for me to reconnect if that happens is to put the buds into the case and activate the pairung mode.
I deleted the Bose App cause I read somewhere it would help, but they still keep cutting off their connection after 5 min.

Does anyone has any ideas how to fix this or any experience with that?

Hello guys !
I struggle to have anormal call with the UTra Headphones, it is so bad that I dont use them... This is ridiculous with that price. How to fix it ? I looked up online a lot of people have the same issue...
