As you can see, the earcups are the only real indicator that I’ve been using these heavily over the past six years. They went from daily to every other day, then back to daily and do on. Used them at work, then began using them at home more until I got my first pair of IEMs, then they stayed at home but I used them while working, writing, or just enjoying them while playing games or watching a show or etc.

I’m very impressed they’ve lasted so well! I bought them in 2017 but now there seems to be an issue with the connection of the right driver. It could be wiring, but I’m afraid to take it apart before I source a new pair.

There’s a fuzzing, staticky type noise coming from the right ear, whether they’re plugged in with the included cable or on Bluetooth.

Is it worth it to replace them with another pair of WH1000-XM(insert number here) or should I consider other brands? Please bear in mind that I am not in the US or EU and there is absolutely no return policy, nor can I order from Amazon or random Chinese stores as import taxes are unreasonable.

Thank you and happy listening!

    Find replacement earpads. I don’t understand why people need to replace the whole headphones when they can replace the needed parts. It is like buying new car because of a worn tire.I understood the battery may be well used, but it is the manufacturer’s fault for not making them replaceable
