text: These headphones are good. However after less than 4 years of occasional use, the cover of the internal padding of the right ear piece is coming apart and exposing the spongy padding inside. I am disappointed and don't know if Bose covers this through some warranty. These head phones are among the most expensive in the market and I expected them to last longer. I would definitely not buy them again. This model is also a bit old now and they have newer models. I have treated them with utmost care and always keep them in their original (zipped) pouch when not in use.
