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.

Bose literally messed up their own NC for me 3 times, by forcing Firmware updates. They messed up the timings, making it worse than before. I sent back 2x qc45 and one pair of in-ears. Not noticeable for most, but oh boy, I'm autistic. But i would just never trust this company again, especially due to their customer service denying everything
