Absolutely Fantastic Noise Cancellation

I've been sitting on, running around with, and quite honestly abusing these earbuds for the past year and four months. After abusing them for I'd say at least 1500 hours of listening, the sound quality is still fantastic is going strong. HOWEVER, the noise cancelling module has started to peel off and die on me. Let me be clear, the sound quality is not being impacted at all, it's just the module's skin peeling to reveal the plastic underneath. Still no problems in terms of sound, comfort, or anything else. I'll be back if and when these guys run out on me. It'll be sooner or later.
I bought these headphones because I have some devices with no bluetooth available like nintendo switch or inflight media. I own the QC 30 and the sound quality is superb! So I thought QC were goin to perform the same way, since they almost have the same price and same technology. EQ of the QC 20 is terrible, mids are to high and highs are to low! I am a loyal Bose customer but really disappointed with this product. Noise cancelling also work better on the QC30
Just bought another pair just because I couldn't find any pair that would come even close to these... However the reason I had to buy a second pair is because when using my first pair I started to hear static in both ears when the active noise canceling was on :(
First 2 months of ownership were good up until the left earphone decided to come of it's locks i.e started splitting in two and i had to tape it together to keep it working.. no physical damage of any sorts
I have gone through 3 pairs in 4 years, they all have had the exact same issue. The volume button no longer works. Good sound for the short time they work.
1 star for the following reason: I have had two of these now. Bought my 1st one 4 years ago. Around the 2 year mark, I noticed the cord cracked & the headphones eventually quit working. I looked into it, emailed Bose, eventually, they replaced it as a "one time courtesy". Here we are, 24 months to the DAY! from when Bose replaced my 1st ones and the cord is cracking again! Bose 100% designs these things with what is called "planned obsolescence". Google it, read it, don't buy it. Bose will blame it on the consumer for not being gentle but that has nothing to do with it. So very disappointed.
