    I keep seeing this bubble up but I have a perfectly fine working set of QC25s and Bose In-ears and the problem is that they're too well built. They refuse to break so I can upgrade.

    €265 is great, especially knowing Amazon will look after you if you have any issues. You might get it slightly cheaper elsewhere but good luck if you need support in the future.

    The Flaming Lips did a good song with that title once. Check that out.

    In all seriousness, they're more expensive from Media Markt than Amazon at the moment. So if you got them on a deal, that's fantastic but I don't think anyone here is too interested in hearing that more than once.

    Yes, it takes some time to adjust to that.

    Did you experience any ringing in the ears? I've been reading a lot about them messing with people's hearing.

    I've only tried Bose and Sony in Harvey Norman's, both produce the same pressure feeling.

    Just a warning to people on here. I have developed tinnitus from buying the https://www.sony.ie/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-100abn

    I never had any hearing problems before, but within about 3 weeks I had tinitus. Just woke up one morning and it was there. Doubt it's Bose specific. Something to avoid if you can, as there is no cure.

    Yet to experience any ringing in ears or anything like that mentioned in the article. Then again most of the days I only use it for couple of hours. Dont really use it for long hours.

    Tinnitus is caused by exposure to persistent loud noise. I've got it from going to gigs and djing. I reckon from using these you may have subconciously trained your ears to listen 'harder' and are now noticing something that was there all along.

    I don't think so. This is from having discussed it with an ENT consultant from the Matter.

    Tinnitus is caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise, If you got tinnitus it was probably because you wearing headphones ,the noise cancelling while associative is likely not to be causative

    If you use these "wired", does the battery last longer? Or is the battery going on the NC, rather than on the bluetooth?
