Bose Customer Insights

1. It never connects to my earbuds anymore, and on the off chance it does connect, I can't change any of the settings without having to close and open the app again.

2. Overall, I'm very annoyed by the process of using the app and even my QC buds (gen 1) now.I have used Bose products for years and have generally found them decent, although their quality control is severely lacking.

3. If there's a fix, I'll update the review, but so far the experience has been very frustrating.Steamy pile of garbage.

4. I don't understand it at all and I'm not sure if it affects my Bluetooth connection or not, but my headphones are now also taking minutes to connect whereas they took seconds before.

5. Most of the time, it fails to even so much as detect the earbuds that are actively paired to my phone.

6. It is the only way to configure the earbuds, and it is hit or miss whether it will even connect with them or detect them.

7. When I open the app, it doesn't detect that I have earbuds in, almost like it's in some sleep state.

8. However, with Bose taking Pride in the quality of there products, I would have expected a lot more from there disappointing app.I have the QC IIs and connectivity can be a bit sketchy.

9. Worked nicely since.Just got the quiet comfort II and the earbuds are great.

10. On the rare occasion it does sense them, it will then spend 2 minutes "connecting" only not to connect.

11. The update that included dialog mode was a game changer, very nice.
