There are scads of third-party replacement pads on eBay for ~$10-15. I've found them indistinguishable from the OEM ear pads.

- pbnjeh 2y ago> I've found them indistinguishable from the OEM ear pads. Thank you. I was doubtful about the third-party replacements; I'll give them a try. I still think it's scandalous that Bose ships them with such a crap failure rate. (If they're expected to fail like this, then at least ship them with a few replacement pairs included. At least that would be honest, and at the price they charge, probably still profitable. /s )
- JohnBooty 2y agoI agree 100%. I've kind of standardized on Bose headphones because even though I hate crap like that, they're so popular that there's a big ecosystem of replacement parts, batteries, etc. It helps that the earpads have been unchanged across multiple generations: QC25/35/45 and I think their new ones as well. Everything but the Ultra and NC700. So I expect replacements should be available more or less indefinitely.
