New Bose QC Ultra Firmware 4.0.20 BROKE something... 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@thaeih]

For me the most important information (about the static mosquito buzz on left bud) was in the first seconds of the video. Some users on Reddit mentioned that this problem disappeared for them after update, but I didn't really believe it. Thanks a lot Aaron and have a nice weekend! 🙂

[@sukant08]

Are you going to believe one youtuber or multiple actual users ? Just an FYI. . The hiss reduced by 90% on mine

[@thaeih]

​@@sukant08First of all, I trust my ears. :-) Unfortunately, the pair that we have at home have not been changed by the update. The annoying sound remains at the same level.

enjoying the multipoint, finally!!! So far working great switching between iPhone and iPad.

[@Marseillais98]

Just got mine a few days ago and like them so far. Even making phone calls outside while walking the dog ist great. My wife couldn't notice a difference if I was on the phone or wearing the earbuds. In my opinion the ANC on the Sony WF-1000XM4 is stronger than on the Bose QC Ultra. When walking the dog, I notice more car sounds or the sound of the chains of the leash. Also key ratteling is more noticable. A little disappointing after all the reviews saying, that the QC Ultras a king of ANC

[@rolins3279]

It's a shame to see how bad the Bose QC Ultra are in phone calls despite their 4 microphones vs. 3 for the majority of the competition 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@sukant08]

Do you know the location of these mics ? I could locate only 2 per bud

[@sdchew]

It’s not surprising. Microphones meant for ANC are designed to collect as much noise as possible in order to generate the inverse waveform to cancel out the noise. Microphones meant for voice pick up are designed with narrow pick up range. Bose obviously just targets its mics for ANC

[@julian-qt6kh]

do you think they willever fix the crackling in the left earbud in any way (would it be possible with something similar to an update?) And if you send them back for repair, can they fix the problem?

[@Scootz_]

The fact the mosquito buzzing is just accepted by Bose as "normal" is plain wrong. They messed up in the fundamental component design and are giving users a suboptimal experience for $300!! This problem was in the QCII too.

[@balraj3734]

Thank you bro. You just saved my money. I was about to buy Bose QC ultra for calls. But now I'll switch to one Plus 3 earbud.

[@NotTheOnlyMattAround]

I got a little too excited and updated immediately, because I'd been waiting for the multipoint to make these the perfect buds for me. Fortunately (kinda) the update didn't cause any problems for me. However, my experience with the multipoint has not been great. Once something plays on my phone (like a notification), most of the time it never seems to want to switch back over to my PC (I use an aptx lossless dongle). So... yeah, wish the multipoint was better, but no problems with the update on my end.

[@corey7219]

I got several notifications on my phone, which switched to it for 5 seconds, before switching back to my asus g14. Granted, I had continuous sound playing from my laptop. Signal drop outs on my windows PC is such a massive bummer, that I'm thinking about returning these.

[@yoaiou]

Don't worry, they're just about to release the new model is all

[@rschana100]

The vocals do sound clearer now. They don't seem to sound as shrill no more.

[@KaayyC]

I spoke to Bose when I owned my QC Ultra earbuds and they said the buzzing won't ever be fixed and that it's due to components used 🤷 After a little searching they also have the same response on their website so I doubt they will ever fix the problem with an update A slight hiss from your product is normal. Any speaker or headphones designed with batteries and other active electronics may introduce a low-sounding hum or hiss when the power is turned on. This is commonly referred to as a “noise floor” and may or may not be heard by the user. This is normal operation for this type of audio equipment and should only be heard in quiet environments when the power is turned on and no other audio source is playing.

[@thaeih]

The ANC is really powerful and great on the Bose QC Ultra, but if the earbuds (and I just don't understand why it's only on the left) itself produce this unpleasant sounds it's just hard to accept, especially because my previous QC2 doesn't produce it. One of the reasons why I bought Ultra Earbuds was using them in the noisy place and without music on the background. And in this scenario it's really annoying. Another example is listening to audiobooks. Because there are gaps with silence during reading, so you can hear this sound in the background. It bothered me.

[@KaayyC]

@@thaeih yeah I can't use them myself since the white noise is just too annoying I listen to a lot of audiobooks 😕 hopefully bose can get things right with the next pair but I doubt it

[@Nate-mg7hk]

You should campare the galaxy buds3 pro to the top b&w pi7 s2 I want to know if they've been dethroned or not

[@rschana100]

Thanks for the review!

[@alenahnatova4754]

Thanks for this info. I heard a lot about their amazing ANC which is very important to me since I suffer from misophonia. I was considering these buds but the lack of seamless multipoint, weird connectivity issues and buzzing are a hard no go for me. Well... I'm gonna be stuck with over ear headphones for some time until something new comes out. 😢

[@gracew2450]

I unfortunately purchased them before seeing the update! Once updated after owning them for 2 hours, all the bugs came out 😢

[@Michael-wy9nj]

Is there still that annoying white noise in NC mode?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Buzzing sound in left earbud, yes, white noise no

[@antediluvianatheist5262]

I get white noise. fairly minor, like rain on the roof far away.

[@corey7219]

Got the bose qc ultras a few days ago. With the new firmware (same as you), I've noticed signal drops all the time, which i dont think is normal. As we can't downgrade the firmware on these, the signal drops is really annoying. I have my s24 ultra, as well as my windows pc connected to it via multipoint at the same time.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Try disconnecting pc from it, see if the signal drops stop

[@gracew2450]

Has anyone found the hum static sound got worse with the update?

[@raizel29]

I have a non Samsung phone so which earbuds will be better in terms of anc and sound quality- The Sennheiser momentum 4 or the galaxy buds 3 pro?

[@FerRamirez32]

los audifonos no se caen, son muy cómodos, no se mueven, utilizando la medida de las gomas adecuadas no se caen (a menos que se tengan las orejas deformes), su cancelación de ruido es lo mejor y su Audio Inmersivo es lo mejor. Detalles: La Aplicación de Bose se desconecta a cada rato, se tienen que hacer varios intentos para que los reconozca, de igual manera cuando estas en una llamada se desconectan, es una lata y cuando hay un ruido muy fuerte como el sonido del escape de una moto ruidosa o un silvido fuerte como que se entrecorta la cancelación de ruido por centésimas de segundo, se siente feo en el oido como miniexplosiones.

[@LuisGarcia-mr7ep]

The Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Earbuds have very good sound, they sound very good but we cannot act crazy, they have to fix the connection failure they have because that is very inconvenient for us users to pay our money and not receive a product as promised Bose has to work on that and other things please

If you really want to use the earbuds on a PC, suggest you get a USB dongle with Aptx support. Bluetooth on PC is just ass on most systems.

[@Dexterprog]

the craclking sound on the left... jesus! I can't believe this is generalized. And it's not only crackling ,at some instances there's some more mechanical noise. I think it's a hardware issue with the bluetooth connection. Probably not solveable. This is a shame becuase no earbuds have the fit and sealing that these have. I can't believe no other company is smart enough to copy the design of the outer seal, which clearly makes the magic, without relying on stupidly sealing around the ear canal (like somy xm5) generating pressure (physical) and discomfort in that area.

5:28 why are you telling us what you think other people will hear? We tune in your channel to hear about what YOU are hearing, not to have you tell us what you think some people hear. I know you're trying to be different but these assumptions you're coming up with are time wasting and counter productive.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

That’s because everyone’s hearing sensitivities are different. Better not to assume they can hear what I hear.
