Good looking pair of headphones 🎧
My og QC35 are still holding up except in the headband department. I hope future iterations have materials that do not fray
How’s the sound quality with the “immersive” DSP turned off?
i just got a pair today. i like them. very light weight. good sound quality. solid build
Does anyone here know how to use the immersive audio feature on laptop?
Wow Just hearing David testing out the phone call quality was off the charts. To me that sounded stronger than my Sony xm5’s. I’ve been searching and testing and can’t believe what I just heard. The Ultra earbuds don’t do as well with the phone quality in loud environments. But they sound so good. I just got the ultra headphones today and they sound so good they feel like the bass can push these Cans off your head. But soon I see how hard I can push the phone quality test with being on a phone call next to my vacuum cleaner. If it pass that then they are a beast.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S20 phone. When I receive text messages, the headphones do not alert me. Is this alert feature possible on these headphones? Also, I’m unable to activate or use Google Assistant with these headphones. Is it even possible to use Google Assistant with these?
Got the NC700, QC45 and QC35II’s. Think I can break the addiction this time. Unless the price drops below, say $250 on black Friday.
I am struggling with Bose qc ultra, wh1000xm5, B&W px7s2e, and Airpodsmax since I am an Apple user. Which is the best regardless of sound quality. I just wanna have a headphone with good ANC and transparency mode.
I wear a size 8 New Era Yankees cap, the 700 is tight for me. Will these Ultra fit more comfortably in your view? thanks,
Please also compare to the earbuds. Travellers like me really want to know whether it’s worth carrying a bully over ear or if we can just take the earbuds.
Flying 10 years ago : All frequent flyers had over ear bose. Then it changed.
I have the Sony mk5 earbuds but I would probably compare them to earplugs rather than noise cancelling. But that’s just my opinion.
Hope you help with that topic too
Hope it’s not another headphone 700. The 700 was junk compared to others
The ear cushion and head band is nkt designed for warm weathers. I have changed on mine qc 35ii thrice. Due to hair oil and normal sweat issue.
Are these worth upgrading to from the QC35ii? I have these headphones and use them everyday and love them!
I’m into audiophile hi-res headphones and $425 is not a lot to pay for a high-end headphone. In fact, if noise-cancelling is not important to you, I recommend the $700 bowers & wilkins PX8 it rivals wired hi-res cans from audeze and focal.
Bose over-the-ear headphones always have simultaneous multipoint Bluetooth, but the earbus always need to be switched manually or on the Bose app.
These vs AirPod max?
Good Friday or Amazon prime days. Damn. The new ones went on sale at Walmart for $269 already. Yes. They are sold out. But that is a good hint they may go on sale for Black Friday
Please add next time that this isn’t a review but a promotion. It’s time for the truth. The call quality, especially in a noisy environment, of the Ultra headphones is trash. Even a 100 Euro headphone, e.g. from soundcore, does a MUCH better job. This is a cashgrab product and should not cost more than 300 Euro gross. In Germany, last weekend it’s price was already down to 413 Euro from 500 Euro. So the chances that my estimate comes to reality in the near future are very good.
Got the these last week and loving them. Have qc 35ii, qc45. Nc700 and these these are my new daily driver
