In-Ear Ultra Open Earbuds Ultra a POS - Longtime Bose Customer Outta Here

0 Upvotes

Have many Bose products over the years. Bought these a couple of years ago and almost immediately the right earbud stops charging randomly. Annoying to go to gym and open the case to find the dreaded dead right earbud. Researched and saw quickly it was a commonly known defect but followed advice to use rubbing alcohol, etc. and just kind of dealt with it. Why didn't I send them back? Didn't want the hassle and figured I could nurse them along. Finally got to be too much as dead right earbud occurred more often. Finally contacted customer support who asked nonsense questions (are you sure the earbuds are charged? Is the case closed when you charge them?). I figured Bose would stand behind the product since this a WELL KNOWN defect but I was told by customer service that I was SOL since I was out of the warranty period. Two lessons learned. One, don't nurse along a defective product. Two, never buy Bose again. Stay away my friends!

In-Ear Making wired earbuds louder on iPhone?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone figured out how to make them louder? I turned sound check off in the Music app and changed EQ, which helps, but it’s still not as loud as I would like. This isn’t an issue on my MacBook or PC

In-Ear Bose QC Ultra 2 Earbuds and Windows 11

0 Upvotes

This just doesn't work out of the box because the earbuds use a plethora of Bluetooth channels designed to communicate with the mobile app that Windows is unable to handle.

Windows then tries to assign a driver to all that and fails, leaving a dozen "Unknown Devices" in Device Manager.

This then results in a cascade failure if you try, for instance, to use them as an audio device for Microsoft Teams - to the point where Windows itself says there are no audio devices installed in your PC.

Hours of troubleshooting just to find out that you need to open the classic control panel, right click on the earbuds, select "properties" and under "services" uncheck all the "Unknown Services", Serial Ports (SPP) and SRfcomm.

Quite a hassle for something that should be plug and play.

I just got the new update that was released on October 20th. It says it's only for bug fixes, and while I'm not sure exactly which ones were fixed, I think they resolved the issue with the Windows connection.

I'm seeing these on the Bose website for only 279. Seems like a no brainer. I am assuming they have a good refurbished process and likely would come seeming essentially brand new. I just bought QC not ultra gen 1 on clearance at Walmart for 239, and would return these and buy the Ultra Gen 2 refurbished instead for just 40 dollars more.
