Bose Quietcomfort Ultra 1st Gen Earbuds

I have Bose Gen 2, Bose speaker. Bose was like a close friend to me.

This QC Ultra 1st Gen pair was bought a year ago and is out of warranty. I barely use this like 4/5 times in a month, the earbuds is still in mint condition. Suddenly the right earbud is not working. When I place the right earbud in the case it gives solid amber, which means the earbud connects to the case. I tried resetting, disconnecting every possible way but the right side is not working anymore. It's dead. This is so pathetic for 200$ earbuds. Now it's time to move on and find something new. It was a good journey with Bose overall. Thank you Bose!

Just got these Quietcomfort Ultra Gen 1 for $60 on FB marketplace. Good or bad deal?

I got this headphones for $75, just the headphones, no cables or case included.

Just sat down for a long flight and it split in my ear. Is there any way to fix this? These things weren't cheap.

The fan on my quiet comfort headphones is driving me insane, for sleeping it actually be worse having the sound right against my ear, is there any way to dampen the noise or turn it off completely?

Hi,

do you know any fixes? It's the QuietComfort (no number) model, not ultra. It's only the right cup. It's like a clicking noise that appears every time I move my jaw, slightly move my eyebrows or anything else. It's like plastic creaking or crackling. I noticed the fork-like plastic cup holder creaks when pinched but I don't think it's the culprit. It feels like something inside. It's worse on some days than others. Please 🙏🙏🙏

I was asking about connecting to my QC Ultra 2 headphones .. Truly disappointed and a step backwards

Hi All,

I've been using the Bose Companion 5 as my desktop speakers for about 15 years and loved it. The tiny satellites on the desk plus the Acoustimass module on the floor were perfect for my setup. Unfortunately the bass module has taken water damage over the years (floor mopping, plus a beagle who decided it was his tree when young). The cabinet has swollen and opened up air gaps, and the bass isn't what it used to be.

As far as I can tell, Bose has discontinued the entire Companion series and doesn't make a desktop 2.1 system anymore. So I'm looking for advice from people who have been in the same spot:

1. What did you replace your Companion 5 / 50 with, and were you happy with it?

2. Is there anything in Bose's current lineup that can realistically fill the desktop role?

My setup: a desk in a small work room, used for music, YouTube and some movies at moderate volume, connected to my computer.

I'm currently considering the KEF LSX II (possibly with a sub), but I'd love to hear what other ex-Companion users ended up with.

Thanks!

Kinda bored of my QC gen 1s. They’re great but I’d love to feel the bass a bit more and better quality. Do the Ultra’s actually sound better?

I am contemplating getting a pair of the Quiet Comfort headphones but I don’t understand why they are both the same price! Like what is the difference between both? Should I just get Gen 2? Both are at $359 btw

hi, so i am trying to build up an app which changes listening modes, allows you to tune your bose headphones/earphones via macbook itself without touching the mobile app.

I am looking for people who have different bose headphones to test it out - bose qc ultra, qc 35, qc 45, or pretty much if there is any bose headphones you got + a macbook, please let me know!
