Headphones work perfectly well and were always cleaned and kept in case - but as you can see in the photos, the rubber casing is coming off due to friction. Can probably be replaced or used as is. Experience the ultimate in comfort and style with Bose's black over-ear headphones. These headphones feature a minimalist design with plush ear cushions and a wide, padded headband for extended wear. Enjoy a modern aesthetic and premium sound quality that Bose is renowned for.
