u/Different-Depth-3974

Okay so for some context, I used to have an old pair of bose qc 45's wayyyy back in 2022 and I loved them, but due to an unfortunate incident I had to switch over to the airpods pro, but recently ive noticed that my inner ear area place (idk what to call it) has been hurting after prolonged use of the airpods so I decided to go back to the bose and I came across the qc 45 ultra 2. obviously, I checked out the competition sony and other brands but I stuck with the bose, but recently the more posts I see about these headphones on reddit the more scared I get. Theres always constant "after 1 year the right side stops working" or " the sound quality isnt that good compared to sonys". So because this is a very expensive purchase I wanted a proper opinion as to how I should proceed
