For some stupid reason the Bose engineers decided to make these headphones deliver a loud, awful beep whenever you answer a call

Bose’s whole reason for existence is to make a better listening experience, so it completely befuddles me why they would allow their engineers to do something as stupid as add an awful beeping sound that (1) can’t be turned off, (2) can’t be turned down and (3) isn’t synchronized to the volume of the device

I hate the idea of returning these because I like everything else about them, but the loud beeps are just too horrible

However, every time there is a notification, there is a loud (as in ear-damaging piercing loud) beep

That horrible beep!I called Bose support and they said that there is nothing I can do about it and that there are no known plans to change it

So, if you’re listening to music in a quiet room at a really low volume and you answer a call, you get this loud, horrendous BEEP
