Best praise vs top criticism for Bose QuietComfort Headphones
“Try the newer Bose QC, they've kept the comfortable design, the ANC is comparable to the Sony, and they don't require nearly as much EQ correction.”
“They’ll break from you sitting on them, being rough with them or in case of an ex gf of mine falling asleep wearing them and unknowingly rolling around putting pressure on sensitive parts of the product. RIP Bose QC”
