Bose QC15 QuietComfort 15 - Cut The Cord !! Awesome Upgrade !!

[@smitch2954]

Thanks for your video. I was just on a flight and notice everyone else had Bluetooth headphones and wonder if there was an upgrade for my QC15. Perfect timing to come across your video.

[@chan13153]

I have the Btunes and they are awesome. Owned it for about a year and a half now. Still works no issues at all. And it does last about 8-10 hours easily. I bought these even though I own a QC35 but wanted to bring my old QC15 into the modern times. These also have better latency than the QC35. A great buy.

[@ShutterFanatic]

I am still loving mine as they are working awesome. Thanks for the comment

@@ShutterFanatic Is the mic good enough for calls? Thinking of using these for the home office

[@ShutterFanatic]

@@jonyllama I don’t use them much to talk on but just tested this with my son since I put them on the cut the grass. He said it sounds like any other call and would rate the quality 8 or 9 out of 10. Hope that helps you.

[@chan13153]

@@jonyllama I’ve used the mic to make calls and to voice chat in games. No complaints on the other side. However the are no noice cancellation for the mic. This means that the person on the other side will hear everything. At the same time though this is also true with most mics such as the ones on the airpods which people said are great for making calls.

[@highertruths5417]

Just got a used set of those same headphone. My mother found them on eBay for 9$!! They sound amazing but I was looking at wireless upgrades. This video helped much!

[@ShutterFanatic]

Glad it was helpful

[@ShutterFanatic]

@JGTT14 yes, still have to feed it aaa

[@awesomeferret]

Got mine for 10.99. Need to buy new ear cups of course (and I'm savvy enough to avoid the OEM ones, it's shocking how horrible they are) but I'm going to end up with a very very high bang for buck pair of cans.

[@ShutterFanatic]

@@awesomeferret I did a video recently where I replaced my ear cups and headband. The ones in my video are ok but prefer the wicked ones since they are more comfortable and lasted a very long time.

[@chan13153]

After watching your videos and others I decided to get these. Such a great decision. These are awesome. Makes my QC15 feel like modern headphones. Battery life seems good. 10% drain every hour. Thats about 10 hours which isn't as good as the QC35 but still good enough. Not worth paying $300 to simply double the battery life. Charging is very quick too and not annoying like the airmods.

[@theMekanik]

Yah I wanted to get one of these but I got the Black Web from Wal-Mart instead that converts all 3.5 jacks to Bluetooth. I use them with my Bose QC15 and IEBuds..... I have had to send my Bose back and get them replaced once usually every 2 sets of ear pads I have to send the Headphones back to them replaced, the first set the Audio went out in it after many many years of use.

[@theMekanik]

$80 buks I think I paid $199 new or even maybe $299 when they first came out...... speaking of I need to see what they are going to charge me to fix them this time they do not turn on any more. The first set was well worn and traveled I put a sht ton of flight time on them, worth every penny. With a neck pillow and noise canceling headphones 🎧 long flights are a breeze, I definitely pass out 😅

[@didirmeme7410]

Thanks for the tip i order one today!

[@EduardoOtubo]

Hi! Thanks for the post! Can you upload a mic test for that module? Just curious! Thanks!

[@jorgemaldonado5575]

Hi, thanks for sharing the video!!! I try to replace my headsets wire, but I can get out the wire to put the wireless mic 🎤, can you please make another video?

[@claudiaw9246]

Thanks, that was very helpful! Great to know these old headphones can be upgraded to be wireless. My only concern is that the adapter has a built-in battery (what I like about the Bose is being able to easy replace the battery), as all batteries degrade over time. How's it holding up for you?

[@robinklouie]

Do you still need the triple A for the headphones?

[@CorridorsStdpro]

@@robinklouie looking for the answer as well

[@robinwindsrygg9568]

@@CorridorsStdpro They probably do still need the triple A, as there's no way for the headphones N.C to draw power from the 3.5mm jack input.

[@travis1271]

nice vid, also how do you like these headphones, for me since I have some it feels and sounds good

[@RosaMasLinda]

Thanks for your review! How is the microphone for making phone calls?

[@wolfe786]

I ordered mine today. Thanks

[@wolfe786]

I really like it. Really easy to use and sound quality is about the same when listening with wire connection. Thanks man

[@Finite8614]

great review, thanks

[@timfrancis6774]

New follower here, as my Bose ear pads are shot use my Bose at night to fall asleep and hate cord gets all Tangled then ripped out found your channel and buying what you demoed. Thanks, but I may have questions about changing out ear pads please

[@ShutterFanatic]

Thanks, I replaced my pads. I will let you know which ones as they were as good as oem. They pop off and on easy. Wish the headband was was easy since mine is worn out.

[@ShutterFanatic]

I bought these 3 years ago and they have held up very well. Even sweating while cutting grass . amzn.to/2Zbnyu6.

[@danielalejandrolopezgallar6715]

Can you play music and charge them at the same time? and can you pair 2 devices at the same time?

[@Taskmasterexecutioner]

Do still have to have the battery in use or can you just use the Bluetooth

[@ShutterFanatic]

You still need the AAA battery.

[@awesomeferret]

It's sort of amazing that people ask this though. How is it possible for so many people to watch this video and ignore exactly what they know their eyes are seeing: a wireless 3.5mm cable solution (with a directly attached 3.5mm jack instead of one on a wired extension) shaped in a curve to fit around a headphone? Sorry bit you are basically choosing to insult your own intelligence by thinking that if you need a battery when having a wire-based source going into the only physical input on the headphones but somehow don't if that source is going into the exact same input but just happens to be grabbing its audio from a Bluetooth source and happens to not have a wire attached to it but just a headphone jack. I worry about humans sometimes. To watch a video and pay so little attention to what you are seeing...

[@SharonWise-s7t]

When I put the aaa battery it does not light up. Would the transfer base work instead or do I need a aaa battery too.

[@ShutterFanatic]

Still need the battery. The Bluetooth just replaces the cord.

[@rbc744338]

Hey man, I got the same like yours just wanted to ask how do you change the pads? I tried so many diff ways it doesn’t come off? Any recommendations? And do you recommend Bose replacement pads? Let me know. Thanks a lot

[@ShutterFanatic]

They are just held on by some plastic tabs. I did a video a short while ago that shows how to change them and the headband. I will look for the link and will post.

[@ShutterFanatic]

Bose QC15 Headband and Ear Pad Replacement. Closest to factory look. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-xY2ehmql2atU. I recommend the wicked pads and not the ones I installed in the video. I have the link in that video.

[@stevenburton7922]

How are they for talking on the phone...does it have a built-in mic. If so do you sound good to the other person on the other phone?

[@ShutterFanatic]

Not great. They supposedly have a mic but when I get a call, I switch to the iPhone mic/speaker

[@stevenburton7922]

@@ShutterFanatic Thanks

[@awudusain5437]

Hi what’s the name of the Bluetooth support please

[@ShutterFanatic]

Bluetooth 5. The amazon link is in the description. The price has gone down since I purchased. Still working great after tons of use.

[@richardriel420]

What the name of the replacement devise?

I posted a link in the video description so you can see the one I have. Still loving it.

[@ExpertaGroup]

very cool video thx men ;)))))))

[@santos164]

How do I pair them?

[@ShutterFanatic]

It’s been a while but I believe you just hold down the power button until it flashes or say pairing

[@teresahowell9931]

What do you do to get the volume to work? I can barely hear anything out of this when the Bluetooth is connected

[@teresahowell9931]

Camera Guy tried two different headphones with the same results perhaps I need to return the Bluetooth device

[@1337wafflezz]

cool concept but you can find an entire bluetooth anc headphone for $50 nowadays...

[@ShutterFanatic]

I have tried a few and none came close to the sound quality and noise canceling of Bose. Sony has surpassed them but come at an even higher cost. This is a great way to convert the older Bose that you may already have. Thanks for checking out my channel:).

[@1337wafflezz]

@@ShutterFanatic for real? that’s pretty cool. I thought Bose sound quality only started getting good around the time of the QC35 although their anc and comfort has always been top notch. It’s a neat little product. Personally though i think the new stuff is only going to get better and better. Nothing is preventing the cheap stuff from also applying an EQ curve with their ANC to bump up the sound quality just like Bose.

[@ShutterFanatic]

@@1337wafflezz my BIL has the QC35s and I can’t tell any difference in sound quality to mine. Don’t get me wrong, Bose are not for the serious audio file guys out there but still make one of the best airplane headphones. This is the reason I bought them years ago. They worked great other that the annoying super long cord that would always wrap around my leg and rip out the headset insert when getting up to let someone pass. The China clones are getting better and will be there soon. I just sent a couple back to Amazon the other day due to the lack of comfort and sound quality. I was looking for a cheap pair to dedicate to mowing the lawn.

[@abdoualilahthomas8031]

You didnt show that you need to remove a screw from the inside so you can remove the cable easly, i almost ripped the cable wire of the headphone, by doingwhat you do,

[@ShutterFanatic]

They must have changed it over the years because mine doesn’t have a screw. I would always get the cable caught on something and it would rip out unintentionally. Maybe the screw was to help with that. Good to know for others. Thanks for posting this info.

[@DGneoseeker1]

Ironically the opposite to what I want. I want them to be fully wired instead of running on batteries. Why the hell do they run on batteries!?

[@ShutterFanatic]

The battery is needed for the active noise reduction but unfortunately also to use at all

[@DGneoseeker1]

@@ShutterFanatic Yes but I see no logical reason why. They should have designed it so that the headphones are powered from the computer IF plugged in. And if not, from a battery.

[@ShutterFanatic]

@@DGneoseeker1 I totally agree with you.

Ah, so in other words, this is a commercial. I thought it might show a way we could do this ourselves. 🤷🏽‍♂

[@ShutterFanatic]

Not a commercial, just a solid upgrade. I was looking for one of my friends and it was priced really good on Amazon. 30 something. I paid $50 something for mine with my own money. Well worth it IMO even at this price
