Why do my headphones need firmware updates? Presumably they work fine at purchase.
- throwaway8941 6y agoNoise cancellation sometimes gets better (or worse) after a firmware update.
- sascha_sl 6y agoBose also added the in-device EQ to the Bose 700 via patch a few months ago.
- WrtCdEvrydy 6y agoBecause we cut a corner somewhere to make a budget device and realized it was a lot more popular and now we have to patch it like if it was a fucking nuclear reactor....
- t0astbread 6y agoPatching a nuclear reactor sounds scary
- blackflame7000 6y agoNothing a little Gorilla Glue can't handle
- nogabebop23 6y agowhy do keyboards need firmware updates and companion apps? yet, that's exactly what my razer mech KB required for me to change the slow fade in/out to just "on". Pretty ridiculous and I too uninstalled it after, but who knows if I got it all?
- ubercow13 6y agoBecause they have complex software in for bluetooth connection, noise cancellation and other behaviours like automatically switching off when taken out for example. You don't have to update it of you prefer not to.
