Oh man do I hope that this firmware update makes my QCII headphones usable again. Hopefully this update fixes the disconnect/reconnect problem I and so many others have been experiencing with these.

Is there an update for my QC35 gen I as well? 

Hello. Has anyone installed this firmware on their headphones? How does this firmware behave?

I have installed the firmware update.

 

I have never had the disconnect, reconnect issue. So i can't tell if it is fixed or not.

What i can tell is that my issue with it not detecting where the sound comes from if i have 2 devices connected at the same time is NOT working.

Everytime i turn on my headphones and it automatically connects to both my iphone and my macbook, if i play sound from spotify from my phone the headphones are dead. I need to go into the app and manually disconnect the laptop, because the headphones cant distinguish which is the primary sound source.

Really, really, REALLY annoying.

hmm. This happens with my headphones sometimes.

Hi,

What about the noise canceling issues? Have they been addressed in this update? Thanks

On a reddit people says that ANC got better.

Ok. Then I’ll look into updating. Thanks
