They're also reasonably repairable which is nice. My QC35s have had 2 ear pad replacements and a headband replacement in the last 5-6 years. The battery seems to be a bigger job, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Yeah I imagine the batteries aren't as standardized and neat as in phones and whatnot
