New Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Oct 2023) Impressions Thread
I have the QC45 (the one before the latest model), and that's my use case for it. Focusing and working. The sound quality is okay, noice-canceling is pretty good. I tried the Ultra and any additional features should not be exclusive to it, and the QC45 is about 95% the same sound quality.- deadspider187

New Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Oct 2023) Impressions Thread
I always found this feature kind of gimmicky on every device I've tried, but I understand the appeal for those that like it. For the price of the QCU, you could pick up the QC45's ($160), AirPods Pro 2 ($180), and still have around $100 left over for a used pair of K7xx's. And the APP2's have...- deadspider187

New Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Oct 2023) Impressions Thread
Going from the QC45 to the QCU is not a big step up IMO. I nabbed an open box pair of the QC45's for $160, then tried the QCU's at MSRP. I did not notice a difference that would justify that much of a price difference. That being said, my testing was using an Apple ecosystem, so maybe Android...- deadspider187

Sony WH-1000XM4 discussion and reviews
I've tried a couple different Sony headphones, and own the XM3's. They sound...okay. You might just not like their sound signature.- deadspider187

Reduce Amp Volume
I did not know this existed. Does it just get connected to the existing 4.4mm cable between the DAC and amp? I’m running the HD 660S, so yes, the impedance is much lower on these than the 6xx. -
Reduce Amp Volume
I'm currently running an ifi Zen One Signature with an ifi Zen Signature 6xx. I love the sound, but my volume adjustment is only really listenable between 8 and 10 o'lock on the AMP volume knob. I wish they had the ifi ie-match feature. Is there something I can do to reduce the volume that...- deadspider187

Audeze Mobius with cables and hard case. There are two issues with this headset worth noting. I have included a set of the blue, memory-foam pads because the original pads have a moderate-sized crack in them (see picture of pad). Also, the 3D button on the headset seems permenantly depressed...- deadspider187

Sony WH-1000XM4 discussion and reviews
I’ve seen multiple reviews that show the mic quality has improved, but it’s still not as good as the Bose 700’s, especially when blocking out external noise from the mics. This is important for a person working from home while the kids/dogs/etc. are running around the house. I might just hold...- deadspider187

Sony WH-1000XM4 discussion and reviews
That’s unfortunate. I was hoping I could hang up my xm3’s and my 700’s for the xm4’s. Here’s to hoping that Sonly can make the microphones sound cleaner with a firmware update. That, or I’m going to wait it out to see what Apple does with its upcoming headphones.- deadspider187
