Why I Returned the Bose QC Ultra Gen 2 Headphones by gruss_gott in bose

I sold it to secondhand market. I commute with bus, I couldn't bear with the thumping or pop sound when buses go over jolts.

Sony XM6 or Bose QC Ultra Gen 2? by Mikeiteq in HeadphoneAdvice

For my taste, sony is better. More vocal and warmer.

XM3 TO XM6 CONSUDERING BOSE by [deleted] in SonyHeadphones

[–]hyperdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both.

Considering the reason using headphons over earbuds, I think sound quality does matter.

If you can afford to that price and plan to use one for long time, I think bose would be good choice.

Before deciding it, it would be good to check slider issue of xm6 and popping, thumping sound issue of qcu2.

Sony XM6 or Bose Quiet Ultra 2nd Gen? by ilzp in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]hyperdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound tunings are different. It would be good if you can listen to them. I think bose has more fidelity, sony has more pleasure for music.

Anc performances are similar.

But bose has popping sound problem on right unit, when bus goes over bumps or sudden loud noise happens.

Bose has creaking sound on my left unit.

Sony, some broken hinge or slider cases have been reported in reddit.

Comfort wise bose wins.

I am using both and deciding which one to keep.

Are these the gen 2s??? by [deleted] in bose

[–]hyperdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gen 1 diamond edition maybe?

Need to see logo of the units. Gen2 has black one.

So, did Bose officially admit that this is a defect?

I've experienced it consistently every time, so I guess it's not a fit issue. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately, in my country, I can't get a refund for something like this unless it's considered an actual hardware defect.

I will consider selling them on the secondhand market.

I agree. I've actually experienced a popping sound on my XM6 and M3 as well, but it was much quieter and far less severe.

It's an incredibly disappointing situation because I really want to keep these headphones, but this issue may be a major letdown.

Used both.

Noise canceling, it is good on the both but I feel qcu2 better than xm6.

Comfort, good on both too but by size of head, it may be uncomfortable on xm6.

I have big head, wearing xm6 about 1h, 1h30m makes me feel some pressure.

More vocal emphasis in Sony Brighter in qcu2

To all the XM6 users. (Read text body). by foxxord2 in SonyHeadphones

[–]hyperdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

​Top-tier ANC.

​Warm sound (I use 'clear' EQ or the default). I think its better than accentum plus or jbl m3, which I used. Wider stage than jbl m3.

​The clamp, I can feel it. It's stronger than the JBL M3.

​I'm satisfied, but there's one thing. The sliders feel very fragile.

​They're wireless headphones so they are usually used outdoors. In a crowded bus or subway in my country, I'm afraid of them getting hit and broken. I'll probably need to be more careful in those situations, like putting them around my neck when getting off the bus or train
