I’m considering ordering a refurbished pair of NC 700s - it’s $100 less - from the Bose website. Does anyone have experience with refurbished Bose products? How is it?

Can anyone explain to me why Bose has SO MANY refurbished products? Are they so poorly constructed that they have issues right away or are they returns? And why would you return a great looking and sounding device? Their quality is supposed to be high. Just concerned that so many have to be repaired.

The seal on the back says ‘refurbished’ but it came in a new retail box in a brand new condition. Upgraded my old QC35ii and the bluetooth range on the this unit is almost double.

Bought my first product from Bose, the micro speaker refurbished for $85

What are people's experience with refurbished products straight from the Bose website?

I would think those are mostly Headphones that people ordered, didn't like and sent back so they should be barely used. Is that what I should expect?

Specifically I'm looking to get the QC Ultra.

Bose refurbished worth it? QC headphones are on sale right now for $199 from Bose. Thanks!

Im looking to buy the Quiet Comfort 45 headphones, but that price is insane. How is Bose's refurbished products?

Hi everyone, has anyone ordered a pair of refurbished ear buds? Is it worth ordering refurbished or would you spend the extra for the new ones? Being they go in your ear I am questioning it more than other items.
I've never ordered from Bose before so would love opinions. Thanks

They have the qc ultra for $299 and and they are certified refurbished and they also have open box at bestbuy for the same price what do you guys think?

Bose has the black 700s refurbished on their website for 280$ my question is how are bose refurbished products in regards to quality and longevity. Is it worth buying refurbished? I have been eyeing a pair of noise cancelling headphones for a while. What do you guys think about this model?

Hi, I put an online order for Bose QC 45 refurbished, and I received them today. I got it for C$250. Today, they are on sale, and you can get the new one for C$300. Should I return the refurbished one and get the new one? I wouldn't mind returning the refurbished one even if there's a 0.01% chance that they would malfunction.

Or

Is there a chance that if I call customer support, they could give me some refund as there was a huge price drop on the new pair of headphones?

Got them today. Unfortunately, right after trying them out, the right earbud started to make loud crackling noises (firmware update did not help). It sucks cause I really like anc and how they sound, but the problem makes them unusable. Should I bother with warranty or should I just return them immediately?

Hello!

I am looking at getting some earbuds for use during at a few different times. And I've never owned a pair of wireless earbuds before, so not sure what the right choice is for me.

I will be using them for multiple things:

• During walks

• In the garden doing a bit of garden work

• At work

• During travel (primarily airplane)

So a few things are important to me:

• ANC, since I will be using them for travel to watch TV shows etc this is a big one.

• Fit, as wireless earbuds are new to me, one fear is having a pair that falls out of my ear constantly.

• Sound quality, this is obviously important, as im not exactly looking at budget choices, but the two above are more important

I have been looking mainly at the Bose QuietComfort Ulta Earbuds, since my girlfriends has had a couple of Bose headsets and the noise cancelling has always been great.

I am however also seeing alternatives, and earbuds like the Sony WF-1000XM5 are also getting some high praise in most reviews.

So basically looking for advise if the Bose's are a good match for my demands or if I should be looking at something else like the Sony earbuds?

Hi - was wondering what the general consensus of the bose ultra opens are with durability. I have total tech at best buy which gives me up to two years warranty on anything I buy there and since they have geek squad refurb'd ultra open for $189 and as Costco has them new for $250 w/ choice of $50 egift card, I didn't know which was the better option :) ty!

I want to purchase Bose Subwoofer 700 and Surround speakers, which i will be using with Bose soundbar 300. I am considering purchasing refurbished products directly from Bose online store.

Any suggestion, how good are refurbished Bose products.

Thanks

To fellow Canadians looking to purchase refurbished products from the bose.ca website -- do not do it! There's an ongoing issue between bose and couriers that makes UPS try to ask for duty charges upon delivery.

Should you decide to pay for it.... After speaking with customer service rep, its a whole process to get your import fees refunded by Bose (estimated 3 weeks refunded). Call bose canada to see if this is still an issue.

Disappointed that bose canada is aware of this issue and doesnt post this on their website nor pause refurbished sales.

Edit -- any product that says Shipping from the United States. not just refurbished ***

Hi all, just got my refurbished Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and the sound quality is amazing! I upgraded from 1st gen AirPods and the difference is huge.

Quick question though: is it normal that the earbuds don’t automatically connect to my iPhone when I want to listen to music or anything i want to listen to via my iPhone? I have to open the Bose app and tap “connect” every time.

I get that it’s not Apple, and with AirPods it connects the moment I put them in my ears. Just wondering if anyone else has the same experience or if there’s a fix. Thanks in advance!

I got a pair of Bose QC 45 Refurbished for 2149 NOK (192 USD) from the Bose official website, and I have to say that I am very happy with my purchase. The headsets look and feel 99% like new. I'm saying 99% and not 100% because I found a tiny scratch on the side, but it is so small and invisible that I couldn't even take a picture of it as proof.

Maybe I was lucky to get a pair that was only used for a couple of days before it was returned, but this is definitely worth the money.

Before pulling the trigger on this deal, I had the new Bose QuietComforts, but I have to say they were very underwhelming, especially for the price, which was 4490 NOK here in Norway (401 USD). It didn't even take me a day to return them. The only feature that had any value was the ability to have wind blocking, and when I turned that on, I noticed that the noise cancellation dropped a bit.
