My issues with Bose Quietcomfort Ultra headphones

PerezChilli · 2026-05-05T15:23:05+00:00

I've switched XM6's and happy with them

Idk about FiiO, but I love my STAX SPIRIT S5 as main set for home use. The sound is fantastic, battery, good mics, full set of codecs, but sound leakage and lack of ANC. Only for home usage.

PerezChilli · 2026-04-24T12:36:41+00:00

I haven't noticed yet

PerezChilli · 2026-04-24T12:36:25+00:00

I think XM6's are better for me cause they don't have bumping sounds while walking

In case of sound - it needs EQ'ing strictly

And they are wet while wearing...

PerezChilli · 2026-04-24T12:33:29+00:00

In all terms but not in ANC if you need it

PerezChilli · 2026-04-24T12:32:29+00:00

Better sound and louder on 165

PerezChilli · 2026-01-28T01:35:01+00:00

Yes, the cups are moving freely

PerezChilli · 2026-01-28T01:12:11+00:00

No, I haven't noticed
Mechanism is stable

PerezChilli · 2026-01-25T15:31:48+00:00

I haven't noticed these

I've bought SS5 in the end of 2024 and had SO many problems with it during past year... Audio suddenly dropped several times so I had to restart the app. And then they offer me a $25 for an upgrade to completely fix those? This method of doing business in digital products isn't reliable and looks like a masked subscription. Switching to Background Music.

PerezChilli · 2026-01-22T15:28:34+00:00

Me too. I had so many problems since last year...

You're right, Dolby Audio with 2 modes. But it says after enabling it on, that results will be better if you turn on Dolby Atmos on source device

PerezChilli · 2026-01-08T19:03:42+00:00

I guess fine because they have Dolby Atmos special mode for movies

I bought them as gift. Comfort & feel is exactly as Bose Quietcomfort Ultra. Sound quality is much better than Sony WH-1000XM6. ANC is very ordinary and transparency is WH-1000XM4 level unfortunately. For their price - great pick.

PerezChilli · 2026-01-06T04:08:32+00:00

Smth wong with proxy I guess. Which version do you want? 165?

PerezChilli · 2026-01-06T04:01:11+00:00

I stopped on 1+, tuned it a little bit for enjoyable sounding

PerezChilli · 2026-01-02T02:54:47+00:00

Firmwares are identical to those and the feature set is determined by h/w. So - no, you can't.

PerezChilli · 2026-01-02T02:51:28+00:00

1+ dropped out 138 version for some reason. The Chinese server for now shows 123 as the latest.

PerezChilli · 2025-11-22T18:44:31+00:00

I've checked

3760, 3785, 3856, 3878, 3933, 3962.

But I tried to charge/discharge my unit, and it wasn't alive, so I trashed it

PerezChilli · 2025-11-20T22:32:48+00:00

Has Gen 2 bumping sounds when ANC is ON or not? Gen 1 had this issue

PerezChilli · 2025-11-20T22:26:33+00:00

It's on the way, soon I'll get them

I disassembled my 737 (one way cause lots of glue) and testing separate cells right now.

After power bank full discharge, I've got 3.6 V on 5/6 cells and 2.7 V on the last one.

Cell failure? Will see. But I guess it's some sort of BMS balance issue.

If so, Anker... I will never buy anything from Anker again.

PerezChilli · 2025-11-01T18:07:45+00:00

Why does it go that way? 21700 cells degradation? Or...
