I feel impelled to comment here. I use the Bose QC-15 and since the model is out of production, they are quite cheap on fleabay.
1. If they are out of warranty, broken and say the serial is removed, $100 to Bose repair (keep your old cable) & your old set will get you a refurbished pair. I understand they will upgrade you if the repair item is no longer available. 2. Headset Buddy by Clear mic provides a perfect fitting boom mic for the QC-15 & also for the older Bose model (same fit) The microphone is excellent in audio quality albeit the cord is with a smaller diameter than the original from Bose. I have several sets of these for the long haul. Caveat, maybe... To the bad, with Headset Buddy version 1 which is all I have used; the phones are reversed in stereo, L is heard on the R & vice versa. HOWEVER... I just went to their old page for it and it says that version is discontinued for $19. and there is now a new and improved version and they say they listened to customers reviews & suggestions. Perhaps the L/R issue is now resolved. The new price is $29. The old ones were worth every penny, I'm sure these are even better. https://www.headsetbuddy.com/clearmic-plus -2-noise-cancelling-boom-microphone-for-bo se-qc15/ 73, Gary KA1J > The first three are easy.
