    Please to report my QCs did not die. Worked out it was probably the cable, after being able to get some sound through with jiggling it. $7 replacement cable arrived today and we’re back to regularly scheduled programming. 😎

        QuietComfort headphones, these puppies are closing in on 8 years old.

          I have some Sony WM3s that have been going strong since 2019. The leather padding may die out before the actual headphones

            I used my Sennheiser px200 for the first time in ages.

            The leather on the ear pads held up but the padding on the band itself ended up in rough shape which surprised me.

            They still sound pretty awesome though.

              I got some $60 Edifier headphones for the office and they’ve been good. Sony and Bose may be the leaders but you can get pretty close for a lot less these days
