Best over-ear headphones under 1000 rs (wireless)
I have a pair of Bose QC-2s that have lasted me almost 25 years. They aren’t wireless, but you can buy a wireless adapter for them. Granted I stopped really using them like 10 years ago when the QC35s came out. I’ve used those pretty regularly for the past decade. I have had to replace the pads on both at least 5 times each though. Those do wear out. I also think the Sony WH-1000XM series is slightly better than the Bose options in most ways. I just can’t attest to their longevity.

Bose Quiet Comfort II 35 (or 45)
For what it's worth, my QC15 are still going strong, I'm just on my 3rd set of ear pads. I'm looking into getting the Bluetooth adapter myself since everything about the headphones still works great, but I am certainly in no rush

I agree. I have this exact model as well and still use it to this day (got it close to the release date). I only found out recently you can buy a Bluetooth adapter that fits exactly the shape of the headphones and make them wireless (type "Bose QC25 wireless adapter", should be easy to find) this made them even better for me. I have the Bose QC Ultra as well, got them recently, but I alternate between the two sets of headphones so I always have one when the other is charging. I have to admit the Bose QC25 noise cancelling is pretty weak in 2025 standards though. The jump in noise cancellation quality I experienced going from QC 25 to ultra was impressive. I just love the both, and in particular the fact that the earpads are replaceable

Same for me, I'm baffled how my battery is still good after nearly a decade and thousands of hours of listening.

Just learned about those before my recent trip to Hawaii and it was clutch

After a year-long trip to the US about a decade and a half ago, I bought the QC15s before my flight back home. A while later, I purchased the Audeze LCD-3 along with an audiophile FLAC player from Japan (can’t remember the model). After enjoying audio nirvana with the LCD-3s for a while, I decided to pit the QC15s against the Audeze—and to my surprise (subjectively, of course), the difference wasn’t that dramatic. Really speaks to the quality of the Bose headset—going toe-to-toe with premium headphones at 10x the price.

Why wouldn't they qualify? 6 years is a long life for headphones (others have had them for 9) and the sidebar specificifies that objects don't actually have to last a lifetime to be posted. I'll have to check out the QC Ultras. How is the build quality on those?

I got, from military hotel points in 2001 a pair of QC-15’s that still work, I had to rig a strip of sheet metal and electrical tape it to keep them functional when they broke on me going to Germany. I use them for domestic travel now. I have QC-25 for international travel and they’re great. I bought from Amazon ear cup covers that pilots use to keep the sweat and oils from degrading the ear cups, I’ve replaced the pads on both sets and a 3rd pair I got from a woman who thought the headphones were toast due to that degradation and sold them cheap.

Are you sure that was QC25 and not QC35? The switch on my QC35 is a bit iffy, but it still does the job. The switches on my two QC25s seem much more solid to me.

Same. I actually like that they use AAA's because that means no battery degradation. I just carry some rechargeable AAA's in the case. Bluetooth would be nice but it's not the end of the world. I usually use them on airplanes and the screens in the seats don't have Bluetooth anyway.

Need new Over ear headphones
My Bose QC15 has been my daily driver for 15 years. Still running fine. 4x ear cups replacement, 1x head band, upgrade to bleutooth, 1x wire replacement. Spare parts regularly available and quite cheap. And... Super comfy for long wear.

Noise cancelling headphones (cancels without music)
This. The old one (QC25) I have has a toggle on it, when you toggle it the active noise canceling would start, doesn’t matter if you play music or not Sounds like what you are looking for is ANC. Bose does the best job, Sony and AirPod pro are fine. In-ear earbuds and close back headphone has the best isolation. AirPods Pro also have the feature, just put it in noise canceling mode. Not sure about non pro version

BoseQC35 vs Sennheiser 4.50 vs Sony WH-CH720N
I love my decade-old Bose QC25 and almost-as-old QC35. Because they get regular use, I have replaced the ear cups a couple of times in the last several years. Replacement ear cups from a third-party brand cost ~$10.

I need noise cancelling head phones that are big enough that they competely cover the average adult woman's ears
I’ve had my Bose QC25’s since 2014ish. I’ve had to replace the ear pads but they still work great. Caveat - I’ve never tried any other kind. I’d buy these again without doing any research, though.

I have a set of Bose QC 2(?) that have been reliable for like 12 years. They are wired. Only downside is they run on a single AAA battery for the noise canceling. I keep forgetting to turn the noise canceling off so the battery keeps dying. Plus is that AAAs are easy to come by.
