My wife had a set from another manufacturer but these were so superior I was going to buy her a pair as well. I was very happy and looking forward to the next flight about a month later. They were very comfortable and the noise cancelling was the absolute best. When I first used these headphones I was thrilled. Please Bose, fix this engineering or accounting problem, for these potentially great headphones. Bose, when working are the best noise canceling of the 4 headphones I own.but will not last!!! I love Bose, but the gauge of wire used for the internal connection (too thin or loosely soldered), or the planned obsolescence from Bose, is insufficient to last for anyone, that actually uses the headphones on a regular basis.īTW: I own JBL, Sennheiser, Phiaton headphones, as well. The warranty is not applicable here, unless bought directly through Bose and not Amazon (found that out the hard way of emails). The planned obsolescence for failure, in my opinion, to stop at exactly 12 months, is unfortunate. Both pairs died at 12 months, at about the time of the warranty expiration date. I travel 2-4 times a week on a plane, and I never hear the engine or baby noise. I now have purchased, two of these Bose QuietComfort 25, and they are the best ever headphones for noise canceling.while they worked! (I rarely write reviews for anything).
