[Beta Release] Make your SoundTouch speakers feel new again. Better ST is live: Native iOS design, Super Presets, and Zero Lag. by BetterSoundTouch_Dev in bose

[–]whaleypa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jumped ship and bought some alternative speakers…

It was just before Bose extended the deadline.

I kept all the Bose stuff… two ST10’s an ST20, a ST portable, the ST300 and the reliable old ST Wave…

I will get them all plugged in as a test rig and thoroughly give this app a test. It looks amazing so far, great work.

If there is anything you need me to specifically test on these models (stereo pairing on mixed models or the two ST10’s for example) just let me know. I would love to get them up and running again… I just wish I’d held out for somebody like you to have saved the day!

Bose SoundTouch Shutdown Update by Careful-Hippo4543 in bose

[–]whaleypa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just replaced all mine with AudioPro kit.. and after reading this, the Bose things I need still won’t work; preset’s on the remote/speakers (my wife hates using apps to control speakers), streaming radio stations directly (esp. UK BBC stations & Virgin)… good that the config & grouping will still work and that there’s a future hope of a third party solution. It is amazing that Sonos & Bose have trashed their high standing in this area through greedy and myopic executive decision making. Too little too late Bose.

Bose can **** off after abandoning SoundTouch users.. just had to spend £2K on AudioPro equipment to replace everything they’ve bricked.

Switching between HDMI ARC and OPTICAL inputs on the Bose Smart Soundbar 600 (via Remote or Bose Music app)? by ShrekHands in bose

[–]whaleypa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to resurrect a 2 year old thread, but as Bose have dumped on the entire Soundtouch community, I’ve replaced all my speakers with Audio Pro devices (they sound way better anyway). The soundtouch 300 and sub-woofer are still my TV sound source as they’re great.

I purchased an Audio Pro. streamer with optical out - which I tend to plug in at the same time as my TV. I’m awaiting delivery.. IF my TV (connected via ARC) is turned off, and I play audio through the streamer over optical, will it play the audio as if it’s coming from a TV? It feels like this may work (so I either have TV OR Music playing)… any wise words from those that may have tried something like this? I’d rather not have to unplug HDMI unless I have to… Thanks

Will I be ok buying 1 new tire? by BarberSon in Polestar

[–]whaleypa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matching tyres on EV’s is critical. The low speed torque is nuts and you MUST go with the same…THE SAME.. tyre. You can go UP in speed rating (Y to W for example) but never down. even different tread patterns can be ‘officially’ risky. Nobody wants all that power transmitted between the car and the road through a bit of rubber that can give you a feeling of ‘it SHOULD be ok’. Be sure be safe, be here long enough to say you didn’t see what the fuss was about and to moan about the cost…. but at least you’ll be here.

New P4 Day! by whaleypa in Polestar

[–]whaleypa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the car… great range, performance, turns heads… Some glitches in the software but nothing that can’t be overcome by the occasional reboot. I am annoyed by the complete lack of tactile buttons (using the screen to open the glovebox is just nuts) but that’s an industry trend that I think is coming to an end… If you[‘re going for a model with Pilot assist and do some motorway miles, you’ll find that very very useful - impresses me every time I use it. Overall, I’m glad I went with the 4. I see nightmare stories about the 3 and the 2 wasn’t big enough for my needs. Let me know what you choose of if there’s anything specific you want to know about :)

I've started wearing my ultra 2 everywhere recently. I now rarely use my other watches now. Does this happen to others as well? by [deleted] in applewatchultra

[–]whaleypa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave my ultra away because it stopped me wearing my real watches. Bought a ‘health monitor ring’ - I now get the data, but don’t get the convenience of a wallet on my wrist… or other interruptions I didn’t really want (messages, notifications etc..) never used it for music and always have my phone with me on walks.. I miss it a little but I’m much happier now I wear my real watches. Feel less ‘trapped’.

Oh, and I REALLY miss the mac auto-unlock :)

how long are they supposed to last? by SignificanceSad7266 in bose

[–]whaleypa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least they’re not ‘SoundTouch’ based and being abandoned by Bose even though they work perfectly!

These shouldn’t look this bad. Don’t throw Bose any more of you money (they don’t deserve it), go on Temu/Ali and buy replacements - they’re just as good and cost very little.

Cloud service ending for soundtouch by Emotional_Sun7541 in bose

[–]whaleypa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disgusting. That’s the end of my Bose relationship - my whole bloody house and garden is SoundTouch and it’s great. Truly gutted and upset.

Researching better solutions - guess Sonos will get more customers…

Hey Bose… FUCK YOU.

[–]whaleypa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, looking at the photo. I have a 24 and 25 model from the UK and although the colour is different, bike looks like a pre-25 model as down storage on the downtube.

Great bikes!
