All pricey headphones are pieces of shit including bose

 A long time bose customer. I have played around with other brands but usually I switch back to bose because overall it seems like a better value proposition. The tech has advanced, Players from china have shown that they can either give same it not more for a lot less or give a lot more for the same price. I want to use bose qc ultra that I have for both PC & phone. Theoretically it says that it can auto switch between 2 audio sources but it always disconnects from PC while gaming. It freezes my whole gaming PC with 32GB RAM for a whole good 5+ seconds before it establishes connection. No dedicated button to switch connections manually. They just have few buttons and add all 1000 functions to same buttons based on combination presses or how long you press and hold them. What a nuisance. I was a huge fan of IE series then switched to MIE2 series but then switched to soundsport. They were my favorite. Stylish, wear it around the neck and good sound. They stopped it as soon as chinese caught up and they started releasing neckbands. Now I also use a realme neckband with active noise cancellation and it can switch between my pc and phone seamlessly, it costs 3k, bose qc ultra which cant switch connections costs 30k+. Bose stopped soundsport because they couldnt get their high margin and deliver quality as well. I guess sooner or later these brands will die and I hope they die sooner. Basic functionality like switching connections won't work as advertised, their updates after warranty period bricks the devices. It seems It is better to buy a cheap reliable chinese neckband, for pc as wellf or gaming and keep this bose ANC headphones just for airplanes. I would have bought apple airpod max2 if they could fold or wear around the neck, you can't even turn off those goddamn things and I do not know why isheeps still buy them, oh I know, to show off their wealth.
