My beloved Bose QuietComfort headphones finally died on me yesterday. Or the day before, it took me a while to figure out what was wrong. Mainly because it was still playing music but it started to sound tinny. No idea how but the sound balance is off. Classical music started to found tinny. I checked with some contemporary music and chose Guns n' Roses Welcome to the Jungle and you can just about hear Axel Rose singing in the background. It's like only the left or right channel is being played but is fed into both ear pieces in mono.
I bought these headphones in 2002 and they're great for listening to classical music. But now I have to restrict myself to listening to Sonatas of one or two instruments at the most until the new pair of Bose headphones that I have ordered arrives. Unfortunately the person I sit next to at work is a mouth breathing snorter who sucks sweets all day long and drives me nuts. So I need some way of hiding the incessant slurping noises that he makes.
I'm going to open up the circuit board on the headphones and check if any of the wiring has corroded away but I am not hopeful that I can mend the headphones this time. I might try buying an old worn pair on ebay and cannibalising it.
