  • I have both. The way Bose handles bluetooth with multiple devices is so awful that I gave up on them and bought the Sony’s. They would probably be fine if you only intend to ever pair them to one device. However, for me, I just never figured out what they were trying to do. I’d turn them on and they’d wake up a sleeping iPad in another room, or closed laptop, and then refuse to connect to my phone (using the phone’s built in Bluetooth menu) until I opened the Bose App to reconfigure them. The last straw was on video calls for work-- they’d randomly re-connect with a random device.

    The Sony’s just don’t do that. They don’t wake up random sleeping or idle devices, and if they do connect to the wrong device I can use the OS Bluetooth menus to manually connect them to a given device – rather than opening the app in my phone.






  • Hey, don’t be discouraged.

    You are a treasure and rare. There are places for folks like you. I hope you can find one where the culture fits you and knows your value.

    Until then. You can try to change the culture. But if that’s possible depends on more than I know for your context.

    With small teams it’s easier. Demonstrate competence, gain trust of everyone around you, then sell a better tomorrow where … Stuff just works. Faster velocity, more features, fewer bugs, etc.

    This is a very valued message in some places, and totally not in others.

    I have a feeling that infrastructure/platform/core teams – those making tools for other engs – are probably more naturally aligned to quality and lower defect rates. That may be a direction for you if you aren’t sure where to start aiming towards.
