Bose Headphones Not Working On My Thinkpad

I have used Bose noise canceling headphones for over 20 years and they just recently stopped working. I was going to replace them with another pair, but had a chance to try these out and wow, love at first listen. Nothing wrong with the Bose, but I appreciate not having to use a battery and the sound quality is enchanting. Doesn’t cut out as much background noise as the Bose, but they still do a great job. I’m an audio engineer, so I’m picky!

My Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones arrived a couple of weeks ago and they have quickly become one of the things I look most forward to after a long work day. Forget Calgon… my QuietComfort Ultra’s take me away! I didn’t think it was possible to improve upon the sound quality I’ve come to love with my Bose products… but it seems Bose is “winning” with the release of their new headphones. Set up was easy… after charging the headphones,, it only took a couple of minutes…if that. I first had to download the Bose App to my device and then added the headphones to my account. I can control all the features from the App and the primary ones directly on the headphones. I set my preferable modes on the product and can easily make changes as necessary. My favorite setting…complete immersion. This setting uses the highest noise cancelling level and plays immersive audio in the motion setting. Definitely next level quality sound. I’m able to easily answer calls as they come in as well. The call clarity on my end is perfect… cancelling outside noise distractions of passing emergency vehicles with blaring sirens… and of course the occasional barking dog. I have to take time to locate the speaker in that callers say I’ve sounded muffled at times. It’s possible something is partially covering the speaker …. Maybe it’s my hair, but I’ll figure it out as I continue exploring the features of my new headphones. With that, noise cancelling sound immersion is what I need at the end of a long day. I can unwind to the musicality of contemporary jazz… that sounds like I’m live in studio. Try them for yourself… you won’t be disappointed.

My first pair of Bose headphones and want to reflect on how comfortable they are. I recently used it on 4r flight and the noise cancellation feature is impressive. The sound is exquisite as Bose product promise to be.

My 10 yo Bose Solo was no longer working so I tried this one as a replacement. It is smaller but still puts out sound that is impressive. I like that it powers up on it’s own when the tv is on and also find the dialogue button helpful (both improvements over the Solo I had previously). The optical cable is also more substantial than on the Solo. This arrived quickly and was greatly appreciated after suffering through the adequate at best sound coming out of my 40” flat screen tv for a couple of months.

Bose did not disappoint. The sound on these headphones are impressive.

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

I am a long time Bose user, however I love my new headphones!

This is a nice short connector. It works with my BOSE headphones and makes it possible to use them.

My OpenMove headphones are an integral part of my inventory of tools. They allow me to keep working while I answer calls that relieves me of returning calls later in the day. Really a time saver.

Second pair of headphones. These are great sounding headphones and they look well built. My previous headphones, although still working and in use, cracked on the ...I guess, head band, with normal use.
