Just received mine in the mail earlier today :) --Review-- : Given that there are no real alternatives for a headband replacement for my old (6+ years) QC15s I purchased these direct from manufacturer on Ebay (free delivery was less than 2 weeks). Although pricey (for what little there is in the box), the build quality is very good, the covering material is soft & pliable, nearly as soft as the original, but it seems sturdier & more resilient. The plastic clamps are also well engineered, they look flimsy, especially where the screws go but surprisingly they held up well in spite of my numerous attempts. The installation is not for the feint of heart though so be warned: if you have two left hands, don't bother. As the guy in the video states: be patient. It took me three & a half attempts! Pro tip: if your original headband still has the foam insert, salvage it! Remove the sticky tape then cut it down to size by trimming 5mm from each edge. Use this to add further cushioning. Also with this tip you will find that the HeadphoneMate UltraCushion replacement looks better as its is filled & less baggy & misshapen!!! In fact if you do not have the original cushion/foam insert use some foam from elsewhere & cut it into the needed dimensions. Without the addition of my own extra foam cushion I would rate this product 3.5 / 5, with the extra foam it is a 4.5 / 5!!! Rather than ditch what are still excellent headphones because of a worn out headband I was very happy with my USD29.95 purchase. Thank you HeadphoneMate.
Excellent product. Got a bit frantic at one stage that I couldn't get all the little bits to fit together on my 5 year old QC15's but got there in the end.
I was given a pair of qc2s today that was otherwise headed to e-waste. Basically unused but the PU leather was started to return to liquid form lol. Ordered one of these headbands, new pads/scrims and a Bluetooth adapter from Amazon for about $65 total. Looking forward to refreshing them and trying them out. I love my Oppos but they're heavy and I've never owned a pair of Bose.

You should include a simple paperclip to use as a temporary zipper handle. Going to be easier to use than a screwdriver.
The ones I received had a paperclip there, so they listened to you :)
This thing is awesome! Installation was a breeze after watching this video.
It makes look the headphones real cheap but I don’t see a better crafted solution at the moment. I will continue looking.
Good product. Good video. Easy to do. Feels like a "new" set of headphones. Thanks
Great product, great instructional video. Thanks!
Great product!
Thanks from the future
Hmmm... But how does it real to take headband off without any cutting it? What if I would replace headband and it haven't any zip)
Does the replacement headband shed?
I'm sure these are great directions, but the screwdriver is not moving the screws even a bit.
Straight forward installation
Will this work with Bose Qc3?
Can this be used for Bose AE2?
+Victor Valentin Kristensen HAHAHHAHAHHA GAYYYY Cheap ass Bose AE2
$30? That is outrages for a non leather zipper headband!
