Go another set of the QCs. I went the sony XM4s and they lasted maybe 1.5 years before developing one hell of a fault that rendered them unusable. When back to a new pair of Qcs and dont regret it. Dont be tempted to cheap out (not that the Sony were THAT much cheaper than the Bose anyway).
8 years is great, mine are approaching that old. Microphone for calls stopped working years ago but they’re still going strong as gym headphones. Battery is still very good. I’ve replaced the leather cups a couple of times.
Oh dear, my QuietComfort headphones have died overnight. I was just thinking yesterday they’re on the way to 8 years old… great innings.

I love my XM5s, but the poor things have taken quite a bashing. I think there is an issue with one side, but otherwise, still good.
