Title: Google upgrades Pixel 6 series Bose headphones offer because of stock issues
Post by: Redaktion on November 16, 2021, 18:17:29
Reportedly, Google is upgrading its Pixel 6 series pre-order offer. Initially, the company offered a pair of Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, but stock issues have forced it to send out the newer Bose QuietComfort 45, instead. The company has included a Google Store voucher, too.

It's definitely happening in the UK as well, I got the same grade an hour or so ago.

I think I'd rather this replacement combo - the QC45 look more my style.  Already have Sony XM3's, so these were just going to be bonus anyway

I bought both of the Pixels in pre-order. Submitted information for the Pro and then a few days later the little brother. Confirmed I'll get the 700 but still awaiting confirmation of the 2nd pair. Be good if I get the 2nd offer but either way it's s win

I claimed early (1st day the claim window opened). Haven't had notification to say that I'll be getting anything different to the 700s (all emails just state "your reward") but the delivery is due later today so I'm sure I'll find out.
UK by the way.

Dude, this really sucks if registered already. I already have a pair of 700s. Are they going to proactively upgrade earlier preorders? I'm in Germany

Yea, I put in my claim in the UK yesterday and got the same note. QC45 and a £50 voucher. Considering the 700s have a higher RRP but in most stores now sell for around the same as the newer but slightly down the range QC45 I think this is an excellent upgrade.

Well whichever I get they will be better than these 30 quid Groov-e headphones from Tesco.  So I'm happy either way.

I think it's funny how other countries get ~$400 headphones with their $600-900+ phone. Here in the US, we get a set of the Pixel Buds A series... Worth $100

I think it's fair considering the tech in America is way cheaper compared to other countries due to VAT

I think, if you didn't get a message about the change, then you are getting the 700's.

I completed my claim yesterday (from Ireland) and was confirmed as will now be getting the QC45's and the €75 voucher

Would have been nice to be able to preorder. I tried but everywhere was out of stock

Given the replacement headphones are cheaper, isn't it a downgrade?

I wish we got this offer in Canada. We often get the worst deals. My phone cost me over $1300 and I'm getting the buds :(. Happy for you guys though 😊

Last time, they've lied to me with Google Pixel 5 Boss headphones offer and after my claim I haven't received anything at all. Don't trust them, this promotion is b.s. to hook you up to but their phone. I will never buy Google phone ever again - liers !!!

I got Pixel 5 last year (germany) and Bose QC 35 came like 2 months later as expected (it was like 10 days before christmas). Everything went fine and headphones are awesome!

I can confirm this is true in the UK as of last night. Upgrade to the 45 + a Google Store voucher!

Does anyone know how to claim the Bose headphones. I bought the phone before the 27th but now I don't know how to claim the headphones.

Thanks

Can also confirm in the UK the offer has been updated to the headphones and £50 to spend in the Google store. Wording copied from step 8 of 11 when claimed about 5 mins ago:

We have some news..

Due to unprecedented demand and global supply challenges, the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 (worth £349.95) are currently unavailable.

However, your reward will be replaced with an incredible limited-edition bundle containing a pair of the latest Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones in black (worth £319.95) and a £50 Google Store voucher. Totalling a gift value of £369.95!

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused. But we're certain you'll love your new reward.

The QC45's are not an "upgrade" over the Bose NC700, they are the cheaper variant...

This is actually quite a significant downgrade. The voucher is nice but the QuietConfomort 45s are much worse headphones. Particularly the microphone.

Just adds to the disaster release. Google store crash, and pre-orders delayed. You wonder why apple donates the market.

That's nowhere near an upgrade!!!!  >:(

It's silly to get the cheaper version and a voucher!
For God's sake what I am going to do with the 75 euro? on google !!

They offered the 700 and that's why a bought the phone !!!!!!!!!  :-X

I hope google revert back and supply the 700 even if it takes months!........

I can confirm here in Ireland I am well past the 60 days and have received nothing, and not even any reply to my several emails since day 60.  This is a shitty scam and incredible asshole behaviour from such a huge company.  I am going to report the arseholes to the CCPC (who also seem to make it hard to report).
