However, you're not buying the sum of those parts the the cost of labor to assemble them. You're buying the technology behind it.
I know there is more than the production cost. It's just annoying that now you CAN'T replace the battery meaning they will be useless in a few years of heavy use.
Before, that would be OK considering it wouldn't cost too much to get the "repaired" / replaced.
Now they expect me (and others) to pay OVER $500 Canadian, and not have the confidence that if I have any issues with warranty will be hassle free?
Call it "abuse" but I originally bought the QC2's and when they got worn out after a few years my upgrade cycle cost me $100 for each new pair. This was a great deal but now I'll probably drop bose once my qc25's die
