Glad they're all good now. What are QCs?

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

Oh right. 8 years is pretty good.

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.

Swap them out for cheapie eBay numbers when the time comes.

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
