Hi Guys,

 

This message as a last letter of hope and first of all is notice you avoid to use service of BOSE as their became fraudulent behavior.

8 months ago, I buy QuietComfort 35II in Azerbaijan and at beginning all was well where no issues with headphones observed. Last few months I got an issue with microphone which start not respond. I noticed this during company meeting where I have been connected through laptop. First, I think issue with my laptop, and I start to find it. I reset all whatever was possible in my laptop, follow all guides from this community and nothing help. I checked mic with my phone and test where same problem with microphone observed. I try to reset headphones itself but its not possible. I try maybe 100 time, but nothing works. Follow all troubleshoot steps here and around the internet and again nothing helps. 

Last I start to connect to online support to see if they can rectify my problem and give some advice to me. First, I been contacted US support were after discussion decision made to replace my headphones to new one. I provide all required data but after waiting 30 min that online support told me that sorry from here not possible to return product and you have to use your local Russian support. 

So, I sent an email to Russian support where all communication with US support copied. They say yes, we can replace if this under warranty (my headphones don’t pass 1 year period). Then just silence from them... I sent 3 emails with remind replay me on my issue ... But them doesn’t replay to emails which I found totally not professional!!!!

Again, I contacted US online store where explained above situation and asking for support to solve issue with my headphones, and you know what they say? Sorry we couldn’t help you 🙂

This is totally not acceptable approach to their clients from BOSE side and looks like fraudulent behavior!!  So finally, I had below with BOSE:

1) They couldn’t rectify the issue with my headphones

2) Support only able to play Ping-Pong with clients

3) Warranty system NOT WORKING, and they don’t want to replace their product with issue

4) Russian support doesn’t replay at all to emails

5) US support knows problem and just say sorry i couldn’t help you 🙂

 

Just friendly advice to all you guys avoid to use BOSE product as they became fraudulent approach to their clients. I will post this review to all relevant websites just to avoid people use their service.

 

Thanks, and all the Best.

Faig.

Hello Faikus and thank you for reaching out! 

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your headphones and local support team. I will be happy to assist you. 

The Community is a place for discussion and product troubleshooting and the best place for you to see service options would be with the local support team. While we cannot aid with services through the Community, we would be happy to discuss troubleshooting steps with you. 

I can see you have tried to reset the headphones, have you tried to update them via the updater website: BTU.bose.com?
Have you also tested the headphones with a different product? 

Looking forward to hear from you! 

Thanks for updating us on this Faikus. 

 

Sorry to hear that updating the product didn't resolve this issue you for. The Bose US team that you have contacted physically doesn't have the customer support tools, which is why they haven't been able to assist with the warranty issue. 

 

You can reach out to Bose Russia via i@bose.ru or service@bose.ru. You can also call the service team via  7 499 940-42-32 or  7 499 940-42-32 ex. 454, 455.
