Replacement Connection Cable For Bose QuietComfort 3 QC 3 Headphones

I love using my Bose headset when taking a long flight and on a flight to Europe, I got up abruptly to let the passenger next to me out of the isle without removing the the headset or the cable from the plug. The prong in the cable got bent in the process and broke off. I was just sick knowing that I would not have the luxury of my noise canceling head set for the 14-hr flight home. I learned my lesson too--remove cable prong from plug when you have to stand up! Living on a rural island I wasn't sure where to find the replacement for the broken cable before my next trip this year and was thrilled to find a cable on Amazon! Not only a perfect replacement, but the seller, Ron, the perfect seller. He communicated several times via email to assure my product arrived. I am so happy to find a cable that is a perfect fit for my Bose headset! It works perfectly!

The brass portion of the cable does not secure in the headphones. The connectors seem to be too short and does not lock in place. No music can be heard through the headphones when connected to an audio device.

The cable works, but is not as pictured. The 1/8" headphone jack has a 3rd black ring, making devices like smartphones think it is a microphone/headset combo. Still works ok, but I have to unplug it before answering any calls if I'm listening to music on my phone.

The product does not have a top quality but adequate for my use, not intensive. Plugs are "light" and the cable is very thin.

Not OEM, not as listed on picture, different product, it is not L shaped, the connector is straight, which I think tends to wear out more easily, my L shaped one lasted 3 years, hopefully this straight one holds up just as long, otherwise I will change my review to 3 stars. Audio quality difference is not noticeable, so don't worry about that.

did not work properly.

I made the mistake of trying to save $15 and ordering a non-Bose branded set of this replacement cable for my Quiet Comfort 3 headphones. Within 3 months of daily (but normal) use, three different cables all died in the same way: Any pressure on an angle against the end of the cable that connected to the music playing device caused crackling and lost sound in the headphones. Basically, I ended up having to keep my iPhone completely still in my pocket in order to get uninterrupted sound. Spend the extra $15 and get the Bose-branded replacement, which I know from personal experience won't crap out like this off-name brand.

It works ok, but mine didn't last long. I ordered this one: Replacement Mic Volume Control Cable Cord for Bose QuietComfort 3 QC 3 QC3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones but they are S-L-O-W to deliver. It's going to take 3 weeks to get here. It is really frustrating that you spend $300 on headphones and all the replacement cables are so crappy.
