Using this video, I successfully repaired my QC35ii headphones! Thank you so much! For others who may have the same thing, the symptom for me was that the right ear would go in and out of playing sound. I would tap the right ear and it would come back, or if I'd wiggle my head, chew, or change the air pressure in my headphone, the sound would sometimes toggle on/off. It felt like a loose wire so I was skeptical that replacing the speaker cone was the solution, but was getting worse and worse so there was not much to lose in trying it. I bought the replacement speaker set, and went for it. The soldering is not for a beginner, I ruined one of the replacement speakers, so I called in a family member who was more experienced at soldering and he got the job done. I also had to replace the wire between the mainboard and the speaker but only because I broke it when doing the repair. Also, the heat gun I have is not ideal, so I recommend getting a heat gun with a) Precise temperature control b) precise airflow control and mostly importantly C) a very fine tip to direct the air. I just about melted the plastic because my heat gun is too erratic and not fine-tipped. Anyway, thanks, Joe's, for this video!
Note to QC35 II owners: It seems Bose changed the desgin of the speaker cover a bit, I had to break 2 melted down screwed around the speaker housing + the glue isn't nearly as weak as shown in this video, you will have to heat up the glue quite a bit and use more force to pry it open. Good luck
Thanks for the jolly tutorial, definitely made me more comfortable with the idea of opening up my own pair of headphones. Unfortunately I have a problem where the right ear only plays sound through it, if the earmuff is held at a specific angle, and even so, that angle is getting harder to find. I tried opening up the headphones, as I suspected the wire might have gotten loose, but it seemed perfectly held in place, so now I'm considering if I should go searching through the rest of the headphones, for the faulty wire spot, or if it might be something else entirely. What do you think?

Question: I have a pair of these and the right speeker is not working, but if I fit some folded paper into the ear side at a very certain point they start working. This is obviously a very temporary solution but do you think replacing the speaker would fix this?

thanks I just repaired mine but I didn't have new wire and I think the sound doesn't sound so good on the left.. I'm going to get new wire and see if does better. it's working though!! thanks I melted a few things but not important. I had to buy a new small heat gun. Can you recommend wire and also the heat gun. I don't really like my new one
Is there a way to test the speaker out before putting everything back together? I just don’t want to do this and get it all done just for it to still not work.
I followed the video to replace the speaker in the right ear on the QC35. When I finished and powered the headphones I heard a loud solid tone that changed (got higher and lower) as I moved the headphones. I double checked the 4 solder points, and the + and - wire locations and they look good. Any idea what the problem is?

I just hit the same loud-beep problem. You can work around this by disabling noise cancellation. For me putting the heaphones back together funnily enough fixed it. Might be some sort of feedback loop which goes away when the mic listening to outside noises is properly covered with the outside cover...
Feedback, maybe you reversed the speaker leads and actually enhance noise to the point of oscillation? Or else it's not acoustically ( airtight?) sealed and you're getting feedback that way. Switching off the noise cancellation will reveal which it is. (If the squealing goes away with it (n.c.) turned off)

Hi!! There is a strip of metal right by under the fabric part that shows in the beginning of the video. Mine is damaged and that part does not seem to exist anywhere to be sold. Do you have any idea what I may be able to do to replace it? Thank you!

I left my headphones outside during the summer, no rain, when I got them back they turn on and connect no problem, but the speakers refuse to make any sound. Should I replace both speakers??
Hi Joe - thanks for the great info. I had two major problems following your instructions. At 4:26 you heated the board where the wire was and pulled the wire away nicely. Me on the other hand, screwed the pooch and tore the wire from the board. Then, at 4:40, I could not find *anywhere* the two wires you were referring to. Is it possible that you were working on at 35II and I was working on an 35I? The rest I think I could manage myself. Ah who am I kidding......My problem is I cannot afford to send it in for repair. Maybe buy the parts and try again? Thanks again for all your help!!!

I'm having difficulty removing the cover that covers the right speaker. I have removed 3 screws from the inside of the headphone, and 4 on the outside. do you know if there are any additional areas the cover is attached to? It almost looks like there are a couple plastic attachments to me

Great job! I love this tutorial! I try to use a breath buddy or an n95 mask when I'm doing work like this (shit, even when I'm doing a gel laquer on my nails ffs). Like you said, better safe than sorry.
would a bose qc 45 speaker work if i tried putting it in a qc 35?? i love the sounds quality of the bose qc 45’s but they dont come in a silver color that i love like the qc 35’s
My pair just started acting up today. My right side goes out but if I tap the side or adjust the orientation of the cup, it turns back on. Before I rip my headsets open, how can I tell that it's the speaker that's going and not some other connection issue like the hinge?
@@sammedeiros4204 @Pyrusdrago Hey there. My headphones were having the same issue. Eventually the one side just stopped working. Ever figure out for sure what was wrong with you guys’?
Hi guys, i think i blew up tbe right speaker. The noise sound likes a muffler sometimes. I checked the link to repair. But which one do i need for the right?
@@Joesge At 1:03 in your video, the gray-gold "duct tape". Seems an odd design choice by Bose to have the sound coming out from only the top and bottom.
How do I know, if my speaker is broken? I mean, yes sure, when there is no sound.. But is it possible, that something else is broken? The left side of mine just don’t work, the rest works perfectly fine (Bluetooth..etc.)

I had the same problem recently and fixed it by a replacement speaker (Amazon), thanks to Joe's perfekt YT-Tutorial. To proof the accurate working of the speaker, measure the continuity through the speakers winding with a multimeter the resistance between the plus and minus outputs on the PCB. there should be some value about 3 Ohm. Maybe you'll need to unsolder the terminals. If a very high value could be detected, the speaker is probably gone.
@@zerohunterzero For everyone else looking: You can use any old headphone cable. I had some really old Nokia in ear headphones. The ones that come with a phone. Just use them. Use the part of cable after it splits from the main cable into two smaller ones. These got 2 wires inside. Mine actually look exactly like the Bose ones. The cable even has the same diameter.

Nice video 👌 With how many degrees do you dissolve the glue ???
We usually run the heat gun at 200 degrees Celsius
Hi, thanks for the video. Are you talking about 200 degrees celcius or faranheit?

@@Joesge Thanks again! But I noticed that the plastic softened at that temperature. So I'll try a temperature of about 120°C next time.

@@Joesge At 1:03 in your video, the gray-gold "duct tape".
Seems an odd design choice by Bose to have the sound coming out from only the top and bottom.
It's for acoustic loading and surely made very carefully to give a flatter response curve.
