Bose QC15 / QC2 Replacement Ear Pads and Headband Cushions (Black) Review

I have a very old Bose headset (about 15 years old) and I've had to replace the ear pads for too long. I was worried that I wouldn't find what I needed due to my age. I was surprised to find multiple sources, so it took me a few days to decide which source to use. When I received my package I was pleased with the quality of the box the pads came in and the clear and informative instructions that were included. I have some arthritis in my hands but it was very easy for me to put on the new pads…

. The ear pads were easy to install. The headband can be tricky as it requires almost 3 hands and a lot of patience. The plastic parts and the 4 small screws that lock the ends of the strap were a problem. I've found that placing a folded washcloth under the outer plastic piece helps keep it from moving when tucking the end of the headgear, aligning the inner plastic piece, and installing small screws. Caution: Only tighten the screws. Over tightening will likely cause the plastic part to crack

I am impressed with the quality of the components. I didn't find any issues with the zipper or material composition as noted by other reviews. My first impression is that they are at least as good as original Bose parts. The repair process went exactly as described. Very clear and understandable. I was very thoughtful, took my time and was able to complete the work including the exam in less than 30 minutes. I used an exacto blade to remove the old headband and carefully made a cut on one side…

I bought this replacement kit after noticing my Bose Quiet Comfort 15 (QC15) headphones and ear pads were falling apart and small pieces of black foam were falling on me. I researched the issue and saw that others reported the same issue. Not wanting to buy new noise canceling headphones, I looked for a cheaper solution. I ordered replacement earpads and a pillow from Accessory House. The pads arrived on time and included the tools needed to replace my Bose QC15 headphones. Accessory House has…

I purchased these earpads and headband through my wife's Revain account. When the package arrived it had her name on it, so she took everything out of the package and gave me earpads, cloth liners, and a spare headband. She gave me no instructions other than what was included in each package. She didn't give me any of the 8.5" x 11" pages that described that if those items don't fit, you probably ordered the wrong parts. So I took my Bose QC-2 headphones and put them aside, then opened the two…

This QC15 replacement pad set is just what you need. I have tried and used 3 other kits and this is the one. It was easy to install and fit my QC15 perfectly. The kit comes with absolutely everything you need, including a screwdriver (at the time of my purchase). It took me about 10 minutes to fully install this kit while dealing with my 9 year old son who interrupted me and asked about 1000 questions about what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. They're solid (you'll see why I say durable later)…

My QC 15 has been sitting still for over a year as both the ear pads and headband are badly worn. I ordered this replacement kit, watched the video on youtube and replaced everything in minutes. I think it took me longer to watch the real youtube videos than the actual replacement. Don't skip the videos though as they have great instructions and tips on how to do the exchange correctly. The kit also includes two sets of replacement ear tips. One pair looks like the original black liners I had…

I've had to replace both the top cap and ear pads on my old Bose headphones. Factory? completely decomposes, leaving nasty, slimy black soot everywhere. If your headphones are dirty (like mine) and you're replacing both the headband and ear pads, watch BOTH videos to learn how to remove the old parts. Step One: Install the small screws into the clips. (This will come in handy as you watch the video.) At this point, unscrew and remove the old headgear clips. (This step is not mentioned in the…
