Default in search of new Bose QC15

My old qc15's are not working in one ear. I heard there was a online store selling brand new ones still. I want to stay away from EBAY because I heard there was a bunch of fake Chinese ones floating around. Any info would help. Thanks

Double check, the cord at the end of the uflymike has an up/ down switch thatll go mono to "stereo". Its not really stereo but sound comes out of both ears.

Yup I'm aware of that switch. The right ear only engages in noise cancellation and sound when I tap softly on the ear piece....then slowly fades into nothing after 5 seconds

Alright, that sucks. Have you tried the normal wire and run it to a phone or a computer or something just to check if it's the headset or the uflymike?

If you want you can take those cups apart and see if its bose parts inside. Getting it serviced through bose usually isn't an issue, although theyve had me buy new because they wont service something old in the past. If its just a bad lead you could try pulling on the two wire running in, seeing if one has gone bad, and resoldering the connection.

Why don’t you just buy new QC35s and a new uflymike? I upgraded and my 15s still worked...I just gave them to my kid. I know pilots are cheap, but it’s a tiny fraction of that PS check. Guessing you got your money’s worth out of the 15s at this point. Just my 2 cents. 35 was worth the upgrade. 25s/35s can be had for cheap now too.

You are overthinking this. Just buy a pair of gently used QC15s on eBay. Prices are very low, I’ve bought about 5 sets for myself and family with no problems. You could always put new ear pads on.
