Bose qc15's still available at BJ's.

I was surprised to see this, as my set of 15's are starting to show signs of wear, but I think are still unbeatable in terms of weight/cost/performance. Been using them for 1000's of hours. Anyway, I was thinking I would have to buy a set of "real" headsets, but just picked up a spare pair for $230 to have for when/if they give up the magic.
IIRC, they have been out of production for a while now.

I understand your need/want but are other people still interested in buying these for a new uFlyMike setup? Is the uFlyMike even available anymore?

 

[Zondaracer]

There is a new UFlyMike coming out for the new QC25s and there is a new and improved UFlyMike for the old QC15s coming out.

The old UFlyMike for the QC15s went back into production until the new one gets fully into production.

They had tons of the QC15 at the Costco I was at.

It's about time he put the original uflyMike back into production. That was a terrible mistake in the first place to discontinue it before releasing the replacement product.

When is the replacement to be out? I tried to find them at OSH but the company of that name exhibitor acted as they were another company.

Yes, the original is indeed back in production, shipping in December.

So question to all, with the older UFlyMike back in production, would you buy a QC15 ($230) + older UFlyMike Tso'd ($310) for a total of $540, or a New Bose A20 non Bluetooth version (~$999)? I know you can buy a used A20 for less, but this is a for comparison of new items. Has anyone tried both? What did you prefer?

I like the QCs because of the versatility.

QC's hands down for me. Everyone has different needs/wants, but it is lighter and just as quiet as anything out there. Make sure you have extra batteries. But even there, win. I buy the expensive energizer lithium batteries, and they last a LONG time. And it only takes one AAA cell. They are also handy riding in the back of a jet for the commute.

Can't wait for the new qc25's and the u fly mic to go with them. What's the hold up?

They tried a digital board and it didn't work so they are engineering an analog one instead.

Do yourself a favor and get the rechargeable batteries. I don't have the QCs (Although I really want them), but I still wear my old Bose X and I just bought a new pack of batteries, my first in over 2 years. I have the Energizer recharger that says in my flight kit. One of the best $12 I've ever spent.
