How effective are the Air Buds? I love my QC-15s, but they are large and do add quite a bit of bulk to my carry-on.

I also just walked in with my old headphones and regular cable, left with the QC15, new cable, and the iphone mic cable. They kept the box to return to Bose the old QC2. Kept my old case and other accessories.
From what I remember, there are 2 versions of the QC2. The newer version could be 'upgraded' for $89, the older for $129.

We are currently considering purchasing the Q15 for upcoming trans-pacific flight.
We know that if you purchase this at Bose store, it comes with 5-year warranty at no extra cost.

What happens if you buy it from, Best Buy, Amazon, or other stores?
Does this 5yr warranty comes with purchasing Q15 automatically from elsewhere?

Can anyone share their experiences?

Thank you.

Plastic cracked on mine -- probably 6-7 years old. Got QC15s for $129 tonight. Seems like a great deal.

The model of your item you are replacing, my 06' QC2's may be different than newer ones, must have something to do with the price. I just called Bose about my broken QC2's, that I bought in 2006, and the QC15 replacement was $157.

There is a QC16 coming soon apparently. I think they are more colorful, possibly some other options. probably not too much different.

I just bought a pair in Miramar Outlets, FL for $239. As people say.....you enter a different world when you put them on.

Checked out the Bose website... The QC15 is not listed there anymore... There is a new QC25 listed instead...

they came out yesterday 9/3, i called my local store asking if i could "replace" my failing QC15's with the new QC25 and they said there was no such program yet.

the ear cups and headband on my set are heavily flaking but i guess i'll hold out until the qc25s are available

Just walked into a Bose store with my QC15s intending to upgrade to QC25s. Clerk told me Bose expressly forbade any trade-ups to QC25. Only trade-in would be if my QC15s were broken—then he'd trade them for a new pair of QC15s.

Last time I bought headphones from this store the employee said he'd be happy to trade-up as long as we go back to same store. So I thought that was policy. I see now from this thread it's only for defective units. I didn't want them for free or anything; was just hoping to get at least $50 for my QC15s. Oh well.
