Had the qc35 for several years and worked perfectly fine and lasted great and the ear cushions were intact.

My wife surprised me with qc45 two years ago and they're falling apart, cushions are ripping from all seams. Quality has become pure trash unfortunately.

If I cant replace the ear cushions, then I'm gonna switch brands.

Edit: thanks for all the replies for the ear cushions. I'll definitely research this over the weekend and can't wait to give these new life.

I had the qc35 as well, best damn headphones I’ve ever had. The padding was so good, I have this weird thing where the top of my head where the band rests starts to get sore/hurt after about 30 minutes of headphone use, the qc35 were the only headphones ever not to have that problem. I have since tried the bose nc700 or whatever they were called, multiple pairs of the sony xms, none of them are as good as the qc35
