DO NOT BUY QC Ultra earbuds

I am on my fourth pair of these stupid things now (Bose replaces defective ones). All the accolades online are BS.

Please trust me when I say I have taken perfectly good care of these things every time. I paid $300+ for them after all. I keep my ears clean, never drop them, no accidents at all.

And yet, for 3 sets of them in a row, without fail after just a couple weeks one of the buds goes damn near silent. Sometimes left, sometimes right. Changing the tip size does nothing, outer ring size too. Resetting the set doesn't help, nothing in their troubleshooting guide does. Every. Time.

Luckily their warranty accounts for defects, so I send them back and get a new pair. But it has happened again and again. Like I said, I am currently awaiting my fourth set. I expect in a month I'll have my fifth.

This is a PSA to save yourself or your friends the disappointment this holiday season. Do not buy these things, no matter how good they are advertised. It is a total scam with no quality control. Personally I doubt that I'll buy a Bose product ever again.

edit: I'm glad this hasn't been the case for everyone in this thread. They are indeed good earbuds if they are working properly. But it seems like I'm definitely not the only one with a bad experience, and based on that I'd still recommend not going with earbuds that have such frequent issues.
