Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones

Best Buy 1-star review by Stephanie (title: "Disappointing Microphone issues"; owned 8 months). Wired aux would not work to laptop; later microphone stopped working for calls and voice memos (playback fine, mic silent/very quiet).

Best Buy 1-star review by Eric (title: "Make Bose Great Again"). Compared to QC35; within less than a year ear cushions already tearing; randomly cut in and out with crackling zipper-like noise on the only paired device.

Best Buy 1-star review by LaurieM (title: "Did work after 1 month"; owned 2 months). After a month got constant beeping; Bose replaced with refurbished pair that beeped even worse from power-on through songs; awaiting another pair or Geek Squad return.

Best Buy 1-star review by Franchise (title: "A no go for athletes"). Lasted 5 days for running; developed a persistent screeching noise; store would not exchange for green color unless paying more for another color in stock.

Best Buy 1-star review by PatrickL (title: "Bose headphones"). After almost 4 months the foam on the earpieces was splitting at the seams on the inside.

Best Buy 1-star review by KIMBERLYG (title: "Loved them for a year. Then they fell apart."; owned 1 year). Purchased 3/2025, came apart 4/2026; Bose refused repair and only offered discounted repurchase (~$240) after ~$350 spent.
