Your review is very accurate. I own the exact same pair for about the same length of time and like you have only replaced the cushion part of the cups once which was very easy to do. Super comfortable and perfect for noise cancellation in planes which is my main purpose of use. I keep thinking I should upgrade to the QC35 series but just can’t find a reason to currently. I would not be without them when flying.
I bought QC45’s over anything else on the contemporary market simply because they are the most comfortable and have the best (arguably) ANC. All I really want out of casual headphones is all day comfort and good noise canceling. Would you say these are considerably more comfortable than the newer QuietComfort headphones?
I haven’t tried any new ones from Bose simple because the ones I have just keep on going intact :) But Indo hope they keep improving their products, not the other way round.
Lol.. For that price for a wired headphone, you can get so much better. And for wireless, for only 200€ you can get Sony XM4. I dont understand why someone should buy those relics
