Just a quick PSA: put the Bose app in a Private Space on Android. The biggest issue with Bose products is that their software is trash and constantly interferes with the BT stack and just gums up everything. It abuses the BLE permissions to stay running even if you force stop it and disable background, but if you put it in a private space, Android force-stops it when you lock the space. You don't need the app to listen to audio at all, but you do need it to change settings, etc. Private Space is a pretty good compromise.

At this point, I really don't understand why they just don't have Fable rewrite the thing; there's no question it'd be 1000x better than whatever outsourced dev shop they're using, but I figured I share a pretty passable workaround for fellow Android users.

My name is Demir Chakirov. I'm a solo musician adn software developer from Sweden.

After dreaming about it for years, I finally bought a Bose L1 Pro16. The sound is amazing, the portability is fantastic... but there was one thing I immediately missed - a Master Fader.

Yes, I could solve that by bringing my digital mixer to every gig, but that completely defeats one of the biggest advantages of the L1 Pro—keeping the setup simple and portable.

I searched everywhere for a solution, but couldn't find one. So I built one myself.

L1 Pro Master Fader is a small Android app that doesn't replace the official Bose app. It simply adds the controls I wanted on stage:

• Individual Channel Volume
• A true Master Fader that keeps your mix intact
• Individual Mute
• Master Mute

Nothing more. Nothing less.

I've already used it myself during several live gigs, and it has worked flawlessly every time. Now I'm getting it ready for Google Play.

I'm looking for 12 Android users with an L1 Pro 8, 16 or 32 who would like to test it for about two weeks and give me honest feedback.

iPhone users: don't worry! An iOS version is already in development and working, but Android comes first because that's what I use myself.

If you'd like to help, just send me a private message.

Thanks!

An absolutely brilliant upgrade from my Sony XM4s, I absolutely love the Immersion mode!

I am however worried about how these age with time.

Today, my headphones started to act wacky.They turned on and off by their self 🙃 so I went on the internet and asked why this was happening , and they said it must be a firmware glitch and I needed to hold down the power button at the same time. Plug it in in for the light to blink twice. Once the light blinked unplug it and that's when the problem started. Now, it doesn't even turn on at all. I plug it into charge it. The charging light doesn't even show up. Please help me.

I personally hate creaking parts on headphones. Often it's the hinges. I use zip ties myself to give the hinges less room to move and thus reduce creaking. Not the prettiest solution, but it works. Does anyone have any alternative tips?

They keep beeping and keep increasing my volume even though I am not touching anything, even after cleaning them, and the app has no option to disable touch controls how do I fix this.

The sound often goes out on the right side of my headphones (Bose QC 25).

Anyone else have this issue?

What's causing it? Is there a way to fix it?

Anyone have trouble getting the $50 rebate that Bose has had going on for a long time? Bought the quiet comfort earbuds and waited a month for it to come and then it ends up being $25 with no way to contact the rebate company.

I notice the Earbuds lose their noise canceling effectiveness after a few months. I don't know why. I've cleaned all holes in the Earbuds but the performance isn't the same as new.

I had a pair of these back in the day maybe 2010 or so I don’t remember exactly but I remember being blown away by the soundstage and volume these things could put out for their size.

I don’t know what happened to my original pair but I have had a ton of speakers since then but nothing to my ear that compares especially for the size to the companion 20s, this is obviously subjective and my opinion.

Fast forward to last week and I was thinking it might just be nostalgia and maybe I’m remembering with rose tinted glasses but I decided to check eBay and to my surprise a seller had a pair brand new in the box. I pulled the trigger 😅

Received them today and again to my surprise they were brand new but not only that they sound even better than I remember. I can’t believe Bose doesn’t have these in production still!?

Bose, please bring back the companion 20s!

Sincerely
A Bose fan.

Exclusive: A new Bose QuietComfort (2nd Gen) headset is coming; here are its features, price, and release date | Dealabs Magazine https://share.google/xxo2jGGMosM5d3dEc

According to a recent leak from Dealabs, Bose is preparing to release the QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Generation) soon.

Greetings everybody. My wife has these Bose bluetooth headphones and they have stopped working. The only information I have on them (according to her) is that "they are old." I have searched the tattered ruins that once was google the internet for any information about these things and it's like this model never existed. It has this weird vertical switch on the side- I'm guessing to engage the bluetooth feature. There is are three buttons on the right ear for volume up, three dots and volume down. On the other ear there is what appears to be 3.35 mm jack. They are black with a silver bose logo on each ear and do not fold into themselves

Has anyone ever seen these / know how to reset them? There is no model number or mention of what model it is on the unit itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I wish I could attach pictures but it doesn't look like I can.

Friends, my roommate has tried and failed to change the battery in the RC for this unit and somehow (perhaps drunkenly) mangled the spring that holds the battery in place and I need advice or pics on how it's supposed to look, please and thank you. See attached photo of how it's DEF NOT supposed to look.

Hi,

I have a Bose Wave Music System III (Model AWRCC3, 220–240V EU version).
I'm trying to update the firmware to enable the Bass Reduction option.

used ISOs:
https://archive.org/details/seine-04.04.01
https://github.com/bosefirmware/cd-updates/tree/master/wave-systems/wms-series-3-and-4

Audio CD-Rs play on the system CD drive is fine.
Every time I insert the update disc, the system immediately displays:

NOT PLAYABLE DISC

(I have no Talk Radio in settings and no Bass Reduction)

My firmware is the following:
01040207101718

Has anyone successfully updated an AWRCC3 using this ISO?
Or is there a different firmware image for this hardware revision?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I recently got new headphones and the other day they slipped off and fell straight into the mop water bucket 😭 while on. I took them out almost immediately and tried to shake the water out. While they didn’t turn off from water, they started doing this beeping before I actually turned them off with the switch. Rn, I’m trying to get them to dry, but I’m not sure if they’ll still work.

Does anyone know if I could get the accident plan? Or if I could at least get them fixed if they don’t turn back on?

Hallo zusammen,

Meine Bose 600 smart soundbar hängt in einer Endlosschleife, leider bringen der Recovery-Modus und das Update manuell über PC an dem Service Anschluss keinen Erfolg.

Bise Support legt immer auf wenn sie hören das dass Gerät nicht mehr reagiert.

Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Liebe Grüße.

Anyone knows where i can get a replacement?

As this are my babies with the limited edition color but the pads are bad.

The worked perfectly fine until yesterday but now they suddenly stopped working completely including the light not turning on at all even while charging. Did this happen to anyone else? How can I fix this?

My 2 year old daughter accidentally smacked my QC ear bud out of my ear and into the everglades. Bose sent me a replacement pair for $100 but the replacement bud makes a sound as if i’m in a wind tunnel any time it’s in transparency or ANC mode. The only way to quiet the sound is to turn both modes off and just have them in normal mode. Is there a fix to this or did they send me a defective bud and now i have to wait another month to get a replacement?
