The clearest explanation of this fix that I have seen on UA-cam -- thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Enjoyed your clever use of household items such as a tweezers and a nail clipper to serve as tools for manipulating the small wire involved. It does seem absurd that in such an expensive headset, there is such an obvious single point of failure, one that is a pain for the consumer to fix. I am confronted with this problem on a QC15, and there is a slight difference from your repair. The black wire plunges down a hole near where it is soldered to the circuit board, into the battery compartment, and seems to be (clamped?) tightly in a short channel running alongside the wall of the compartment before emerging to be connected to the spring terminal that makes contact with the negative end of the battery. It's not at all clear to me hoe to remove the damaged wire -- tugging firmly on it does not seem to do the trick. I see no evidence of the liquid insulation you encountered with the QC25.
Thanks for the kind words. Though I can't really help you with your QC15 as I don't have one have a look at. Since you are sure that that wire is the problem, you can just force it out, it's broken anyway. But before doing that, check if you could fit the wire somewhere else(beside the battery in the compartment) in case you could not fit the new wire in the original place.
Thanks for this video. I did the wire and still no power. I looked in the battery compartment and wondered if the positive terminal was not contacting well. I lowered a Phillips screwdriver into the connector and scraped around a bit. That did the trick.
Expensive headphones should not have all of these problems and issues. Bose headphones also have sound balance problems between the R and L earcups and connectivity issues. My Q45s started acting up after 2 years of not being used that much. I plan to buy cheaper and more reliable headphones next time some with as good or better sound although not quite as comfortable.
Excellent video, just fixed mine. Took about an hour, didnt have any new thin electrical wire so I cut up a micro USB lead and used that . Used a cheap soldering kit off ebay and bosh, sorted.
Thanks for the video. It was helpful. I had left a battery in there and it leaked and got stuck. Some vinegar freed it up and got it out but the cable to the door had corroded and disconnected. I gave up trying to unclip the hinged door and drilled another small hole nearer the upper end of the battery compartment and fed wire through there and soldered to the board. The headphones are working again :)
I have QC35 noise cancellation. Your video is clear and easy, I made a few mistakes and don't have the right material but I was able to see that the power and sound are coming back on. I'll finish fixing them later on with the proper wiring as I don't wanna mess it up now that I almost finished the job. So thank you!!😎 Those wires tho!😅
@@patrixfpv prettyyyy similar. I'm receiving the material today to finish the repair! I also started to put to pieces all my old devices and looking up how to use the pieces for diy projects. Those skills are gonna be handy
Thanks! Fixed the headphones with the same exact problem. The negative wire is too thin/frail and the ends get corroded and break off easily. Saved me $200 BOSE wanted to charge for an upgrade.
This is a great video! I am having the same issue. Problem is that I do not have the tools or experience to properly handle. Do you have any recommendations for someone in the NY area that could handle this fix? I am trying to save the cost of having to buy a new pair. Thanks
@@patrixfpv So i managed to solder the wire and it turned it on for the first time. But after taking out the battery and putting back in I realised that it is not connecting the battery already. Also, I noticed that the moment I try to open the battery cover, there was a slight trigger and the noise cancelling is on. Any idea how do I fix that?
@@supersayianz it would be hard to tell what the problem is. You can try using a new battery. If that doesn't help, I guess you need to open you headphones again and check everything. The wires could be damaged or maybe there is a short circuit.
Thanks! Fixed my Bose headphones with the help of this video. The design and placement of this wire is ridiculous.
Ta Cut Yes it is rediculous. I’m glad this helped you 👍🏻

Loved the music, the text overlay-especially “great success “ thanks for this video.
Mermalar It’s a line from the movie “Borat” lol. I’m glad this video helped you.
This video just saved me a lot of money that I would spend on a technician. Thank you!
I’m glad it helped you 🙂
Thanks, I routed a new cable through the Achsle hole of the Door, still works fine, but way less fiddly work.
Glad you hear! Thanks!

Glad to have helped you! I would guess your foam pads, like mine, are worn out too?
@@patrixfpv Yes, foam pads thin leather covering tears from the foam . Not ready to spend another $35 on ear cushions.
@@vaheguerbidjian5143 I bought mine for about $5, not original but they are really good! Link in the description :D
@@patrixfpv Hey thanks, I'll give them a try. Can't go wrong with that price!

Thanks - my headphones work again! 🙂
Thanks man, it's taken all day but they are working again great stuff
I'm glad to have helped (:
What is the size of the replacement wire?
I can’t give you the exact size but it would be the same size with the wires inside a usb cable.
Excellent! Thank you! And thank UA-cam! Your video is EXCELLENT!
Glad to have helped :D
Fixed mine too. Thanks!!
Glad I could help!
Thx, that was a great help, to fix the problem
Good but would be better with narrative and no music
Yes that's true. Thanks.
Thank you so much! You are the best!
Glad to have helped 🙂
Thank you man, you saved me!
Angelo Di Leonforte Nice to hear! Did you have the same issue?
@@patrixfpvexactly the same. I solved with your video! Thank you so much
Bose is rich for people . Cheaper headphones sound just as good and are more reliable with less problems.
I disagree. I bought my headphones used so I got a big discount.
1:27 this part drove me insane lol
Ah, that part 😅. Now you know why there are no actual clips of that process 😆
