8 years is great, mine are approaching that old. Microphone for calls stopped working years ago but they’re still going strong as gym headphones. I’ve replaced the leather cups a couple of times.

Oh dear, my QuietComfort headphones have died overnight. I was just thinking yesterday they’re on the way to 8 years old… great innings.

Go another set of the QCs. I went the sony XM4s and they lasted maybe 1.5 years before developing one hell of a fault that rendered them unusable. When back to a new pair of Qcs and dont regret it. Dont be tempted to cheap out (not that the Sony were THAT much cheaper than the Bose anyway).

I love my XM5s, but the poor things have taken quite a bashing. I think there is an issue with one side, but otherwise, still good.
