Firmware 4.5.2 QC35 ii

[Fulton1]

Just received a message asking for my details so they can look into it.

Its a real shame knowing that they are only now just starting to take this seriously and look into it, no offer of a downgrade in firmware or temporary fix to be seen- more of a 'just wait patiently for a fix' and who knows how long this will be.

For the money that we all spend on these headphones, the money that Bose makes from us collectively I think that these firmware updates should be rigorously tested before they even dream of releasing it to the public- due to a bad update, we are all stuck in limbo.

I really feel bad for the people that use the ANC for work or commuting as the updated ANC really is abominable.

I have been given no ETA for the fix.

While im at it- i cant possibly understand why they would need my home address, I really did not feel safe giving it out on a forum site, especially when it is not at all relevant to this issue.

Still not heard from a CS rep to address my issue for seeking £249 to fix a hinge that wont click in.

Chiming in to say there are definitly issues with 4.5.2. 

Please just let us downgrade (preferably through the app) so we don't have to go to a computer to do it.

Thank you.

Bose will be releasing their model 700 soon.

I hope this isn't a trick to say the new model has better ANC.

BTW, I'm affected too.

Going on the bose web updater ( https://btu.bose.com ) it tells me that I'm running v2.0.1 (I've updated the firmware several times since purchase) when the ios app tells me I'm using 4.5.2 - so clearly there's an issue. And yes ANC is now very weak compared to before - I get bothered by background sounds I would never even hear and there is little difference between the LOW and HIGH ANC setting. 

Also, I've noticed that the update, which I did via the IOS app after being notified of a firmware update, was very fast this time - it usually takes AGES but this update took only about a minute.

Also registered to +1, same issue after upgrade.

I advise everyone to also post on social media about this issue - Facebook/Twitter will give this more traction.

I’m having the same problem with this update. Please release a newer update to fix this problem.

This update completely destroyed ANC, there is no difference between high and low now. Fix this Bose !!! People have been talking about this for a while now. Its time to release an update to fix this issue.
Best regards
