Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just like the numerous other people out there, I had one side of my Bose QC25 headphones go out. I was lucky I guess that they lasted for about 2 years. From what I've read in these reviews and on Google searches, most people have them fail long before that. I handled them very carefully, always stored them in the case, and only used them on long flights a couple of times a year. So I guess I spent $300+ for maybe 6 to 8 uses. Sigh. Not a great return on my investment! The saddest part is that my backup pair are some Bose QC 3's that have been going strong since 2009! Obviously Bose is cutting some corners these days because the quality is dropping fast. I was going to replace these QC25's with a new QC35 model, but looks like those have the same problem with one ear going out. I will have to try Sony or Sennheiser instead, I guess. I have multiple Bose products and used to trust them as the gold standard, but I don't think I will ever buy Bose again.
