There have been older threads that I've used as a great reference when my champagne QC2 headbands broke. I went to the store and they just gave me a new pair... of champagne QC2's.

Fast forward a year... those broke AGAIN (ok, my head is larger than average, but still...). So, I broke down (no pun intended) and bought the QC3s and couldn't be happier because they don't make my ears sweat as much.
