Maybe OP meant 35. I have those since they came out (2016) and they are still going strong with daily use. I've replaced the earpads once for about $15 in parts. Battery life is reduced of course but not by much and I plan to replace those too.

Whenever they break this looks like a good replacement.

Same here. Also got a wire that i use most of the time when i am in the office so i don’t even notice the battery life degradation

Have QC45s. Bought in Jan, microphone died in Mar, took all of 2 weeks to replace (door to door) and I’m still using but wary of them now.

Would have bought FairbudsXL instead as it’s not clear that the QC45s have any benefit over them

Sorry, meant 35. I had to lookup which model looked like mine and got confused
