Wired headphones are making a comeback: Here's why

Absolutely agreed. I wear a pair of bose QC35 for like 8 hours a day every day. They're fantastic. But a good set of wired phones sound better and that's all there is to it.

Headphones that don’t hurt after 15 minutes??

Bose Quiet Comfort. I sleep in them even ETA: you can buy the older models on Amazon. I have Bose QC 35s and have been sleeping in them since 2021 and they work great. I’ve just had to switch out the ear pads a few times when they get stinky or crack

New EU law requires devices to be repairable - Every phone, television or washing machine you buy in Europe must be easier to repair starting tomorrow. That’s when the European Right to Repair Act takes effect

Buy BOSE. Everything is replaceable on their headphones. I bought my QC35 in 2019. They're still kicking

fix this wear and tear on headphones?

These look like Bose QC35. You can get replacement headbands and ear cushions on amazon, I revitalized my old ones before I upgraded to the newer model, pretty easy to do.

Just got Bose QC - so far unimpressed

I’m on a pair of Bose QC35. Bought those like 8 years ago. Replaced ear cushions 3 times. I still use these daily. Wanted to treat myself to a nice pair of new headphones too. Did some research, read about the Sony XM series. Bought the best one I could find and was very unimpressed. Sound was OK, N

Daily FI discussion thread - Thursday, January 22, 2026

Today I replaced the ear cushions on my Bose QC 35s (Series I). I was cleaning one of my rooms and found my old reliable headphones. They got used for probably several thousand hours years earlier in my career where I just wanted silence from my coworkers so I could do CAD. Amazingly there was still

So disappointed in Bose

I bought a Soundlink Micro about 8-9 years ago and it has traveled all over the US with me. It’s been a workhorse of a product and I will be devastated the day the battery dies (knock on wood). This is one of the last great Bose product’s I’ve purchased. I also have a a couple of great N/C headphone

QuietComfort Replacement Pads - Cheaper Materials, Higher Prices 🙄

Wicked Cushions earpads are much better than the original Bose. Better insulation, denser, thicker and longer lasting. The Cooling Gel ones are probably the best of their range: https://wickedcushions.com/products/bose-qc35-replacement-ear-pads-cooling-gel?variant=40716882247759

Personal Must-Haves from an M1

I got a pair of Bose QC 35s during my M1 year, and they came in clutch throughout med school. I cannot recommend getting a pair of noise canceling headphones enough.

QC vs Ultra vs Ultra gen 2

There are so many posts about this lol. I had the QC 35 II. They were amazing. After owning them for 8 years they still worked great but the battery wasn’t what it used to be. So I decided to upgrade to the QC ultra ones. When I first got them, I compared them with the QC 35s and the sound was much
