Never buying any more Bose products again

Have been lots of issues with the Bose quiet comfort ultra headphones too I’ve been noticing. It’s generally a good product but with the glitches and things not working as they should etc, start to wonder why I’m paying so much. Particularly with connectivity issues.

Bose Quiet Comfort 2

Personally I'm done with Bose after my QC Ultras break because it feels like they do not give a fuck about their customers

The ear cushions on my Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are peeling after 5 MONTHS of only home usage (I replaced the cushions on my previous Bose Noise Cancelling 700 headphones used for traveling after 2 YEARS)

Earpad starting to peel on QuietComfort Ultras, anything I can do?

Earpad is starting to peel on one ear in the last couple of days. Really annoying as these are only about one year old. Each day it gets slightly worse!

Can the earpads be replaced? I sure hope so. Otherwise I might see about warranty.
