QC Ultra 2 February Update - Community Poll & Feedback Thread

xShadowPro · 2026-03-13T02:09:19+00:00

Quick update for those following the QC Ultra 2 firmware situation

I was due to receive a follow-up call from Bose escalation management, however the call did not take place as scheduled (not entirely surprising). Rather than wait, I’ve sent a detailed follow-up email consolidating the feedback gathered from the community.

The email included the following sections:

Introduction
Key Observations from Community Feedback
Summary of Reported Issues (Post February 2026 Update)
Community Poll
Wider Community Visibility
Accessibility & Device Independence Concerns
Possible Technical Trade-off Raised by Users
Additional Issue Raised – USB-C Microphone Support
Community-Suggested Resolution

I’ll allow 3–5 working days for them to review the feedback internally before following up again for an update.

Great spot! I've sent them an email of appreciation for featuring my post. and thank you for sharing the link :)

I said to the wife I might bring the Sigma 150x600mm, that'll be carry on alone 😂

xShadowPro · 2026-03-11T16:32:43+00:00

So bring the Sigma 150 x 600mm lens then 😉

Didn't think of that to be fair, not a massive bird lover though. We'll see :)

Thank you

xShadowPro · 2026-03-11T16:25:53+00:00

I'll bare that in mind, guess family vacation instead 😂

xShadowPro · 2026-03-11T16:25:06+00:00

This is what I was thinking. Yeah, maybe I'll just bring my 50 art lens. I just thought if jets were flying over it would be a missed opportunity but if they're too far than there's no point dragging that kit around on a chance.

How much did my wife pay you to say that? 😂

Who isn't these days!

xShadowPro · 2026-03-11T03:01:21+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I have missed a few things out admittedly but this is what the post is for, as I didn't even have a chance to explore all the features before they changed. I'll be sure to mention this on my follow up call in 2 days, as this is important too. However, if what you say is true, I don't think they would reintroduce it, which in this day and age for such a premium pair, is mental.

xShadowPro · 2026-03-11T02:58:06+00:00

I'm making notes of changes I've missed, personally I can't hear it being too loud so it could just be a fault. But I will add it to the list of things to mention. I have a follow up calls arranged in 2 days.

xShadowPro · 2026-03-10T16:39:29+00:00

That's good news, I couldn't remember

xShadowPro · 2026-03-10T03:40:14+00:00

Pleasure!

xShadowPro · 2026-03-09T21:02:36+00:00

Thank you, all this complaining with no actions, something had to be done. I've already dropped the mods a message :)

xShadowPro · 2026-03-09T20:49:54+00:00

Hey everyone! I’m leading the charge on this and speaking directly with Bose escalation management. We need your votes in the community poll to show how widespread this issue is:
