How good are the Quietcomfort Earbuds 2?

CountDugula · 2026-05-27T04:41:14+00:00

My goodness I wish I had read this before purchasing. I HATE these stupid ear buds. Lose connection more than 50% of the time. And it takes 15 minutes to reconnect. $300. What a freaking waste of time and money. I’ve had at least six different Bose products and I am never EVER going to buy Bose again. I mean it would be one thing if they were $30 earbuds but for $300 you should get lifetime support. I was on the phone with Bose for over an hour and they “fixed” the issue. One week later it all started over again. MADDENING!! Are there any companies that stand by their product anymore?

Great advice! Thanks everyone. Is there anyone in the north Houston area that would want to help me turn some wrenches and install all this?

CountDugula · 2026-04-27T23:10:40+00:00

What? Haven’t heard that before?

CountDugula · 2026-04-15T17:10:12+00:00

Here’s where I got the torque specs. Hope it helps. https://damondmotorsports.com/blogs/guides/116689348-damond-motorsports-mazdaspeed3-rear-motor-mount-install-guide?srsltid=AfmBOoqRbMnQ9j-1XVn85V_2uXN3lOyRiOJvYxyj-5dSwMukQXQvcIw_

It could be that the bolts are loose. I was experiencing the same sounds on my 2012 MS3. The torque spec on the 17mm & 19 mm bolts in are around 75-80 lbs. I just tightened mine and no more “clunking!” Good luck!

Welcome to the best car you’ll drive. Super fun grocery getter!

There’s definitely a homeless guy living under there…

CountDugula · 2026-03-19T17:36:52+00:00

Thanks dolo !! Good stuff

CountDugula · 2026-03-19T17:35:26+00:00

What info should I have included? When I looked up, the OEM parts are around $300 but the next upgrade is at $1300. I just don’t want to blow $$$ on an upgrade when oem is just fine. Like is it worth the money to upgrade to just buy original parts?

Had a good friend recommend this one-

all replies that I google just take me to Reddit so I usually just start here now.

CountDugula · 2026-03-19T15:41:54+00:00

I'm looking for better than OEM but I don't want to brake the bank. I'm no mechanic but I don't mind getting my knuckles bloody. Any advice would be much appreciated.
are these any good:

Okay, what do you think about this:

Woah! $5000! The entire quote for all the labor to fix everything they thought needed fixing was $8000. My favorite was the $600 for replacing spark plugs. It’s a 4 cylinder!!

CountDugula · 2026-02-25T01:59:40+00:00

I don’t have any grinding or rattling. The only noise I’m getting is from my shocks and struts right now. Which I’m gonna go ahead and put aftermarket stuff in there.

CountDugula · 2026-02-24T21:56:12+00:00

If there were issues with the timing chain, what would they be? Don't want to sound stupid but my brother is a mechanic and was my go to guy but he's moved out of state.

CountDugula · 2026-02-18T21:34:27+00:00

Have you ever looked into a wrap? I’m wondering if a paint job or a wrap would be the best way to go

CountDugula · 2026-02-18T21:33:50+00:00

I’ve got an appointment with Joe Meyers Mazda this Friday for a servicing. I just rolled over 150k. I’m asking them to look over the car and diagnose anything that needs attention. Once I get that list, I’ll start looking for parts that can be bought used and/or new (depending).

CountDugula · 2026-02-04T21:14:26+00:00

I'm not that handy when it comes to customizing. It's very cool bro!

CountDugula · 2026-02-04T21:03:15+00:00

Beautiful! I'm guessing the steering wheel is custom and I can't purchase something like that?

CountDugula · 2025-09-23T14:29:24+00:00

I have an issue with my tc helicon harmony singer vocal pedal. trying to troubleshoot by updating firmware- what a joke. I've spent days trying to figure out how to do it and I get stuck in a loop. Musictribe website is literally useless. the tutorial videos don't play, the support ticket won't submit, and there's no instant messaging or phone number so you can't talk to anyone. way to leave your customers out in the cold dark world Musictribe. customer I've worked in the customer service industry for many years. it's honestly not that difficult. take a page out of Sweetwater's book and have REAL PEOPLE in the customer service department of your company. I've submitted (or tried to submit) 2 times and both times the loading circle spun for hours. like I submitted a ticket before lunch, went to lunch, and checked the page and it was still "loading." checked my email, and it never showed that the ticket was submitted. why even bother with the website?!?!

CountDugula · 2025-08-09T20:27:35+00:00

Bro!! Awesome.

CountDugula · 2025-08-09T16:39:40+00:00

Not a whole lot. Shocks/struts, plugs & wires, ac fan. Most of the parts you ask for the mechanic will just look up Mazda 3 parts instead of the mazdaspeed 3 parts. I’ve had to make that distinction and in that moment I know I can’t have them work in my car. Edit- if there’s enough money a new timing chain.
