This is going to be a Christmas present for my family friend so don’t know what they will sound like , she will let me know at Christmas Day , good reviews when looking will see time will tell.!!!
I purchased for these bose my brother, but I remained somewhat disappointed because my original purchased pair: ear cover needed to be replaced in one year's time. I'm 63 years old, and do not use them daily, perhaps once or twice a week. I have an older pair that lasted longer, about 5 years before ear pads needed replacement. This newer pair cost more, and seems less quality in material. They provide excellent quality sound, and are great for silence. I suffer with vascular headaches, and in airports these protectors prove faithful. Nevertheless, I'm already replacing an ear cover?

Hi Ron, thank you for sharing your feedback. The ear cushions are made of protein leather, which is a comfortable and effective material for ear pads, providing good noise isolation. We do apologize, but what you’re experiencing is normal, it also depends on how the headphones are cared for to ensure they last. If you’d like help to purchase new ear cushions, please feel free to reach out to us through this link: http://bose.life/globalsupport
These headphones sound amazing... I've only had them for 2 weeks, totally worth it! The only thing I can say is after an hour or two, they do get hot around your ears, but other than that, I love them.
I want to thank Bose for making such an amazing product my fiance had the first Gen quiet comfort headphones and I loved his So I went with the Gen 2. Im disabled and mainly use my right arm so everything works perfectly for me.
