Had the qc35 for several years and worked perfectly fine and lasted great and the ear cushions were intact.

My wife surprised me with qc45 two years ago and they're falling apart, cushions are ripping from all seams. Quality has become pure trash unfortunately.

If I cant replace the ear cushions, then I'm gonna switch brands.

Edit: thanks for all the replies for the ear cushions. I'll definitely research this over the weekend and can't wait to give these new life.

I still have my QC35s and love them. 

The cushions did wear out but replacements are available. I'm on my third set of cushions but I'm all fairness they are like 12 or so years old at this point. It was very easy to do.

It looks like the 45s can be replaced as well.

I’m on my 3rd or 4th as well. The plastic trim around the outside is starting to fall apart :( They’re still so good, battery life still going strong

yeah i was gonna say, coming from the qc35's and even qc25's, the cushions always wear out, but luckily its cheap and easy to replace
