Here’s our email from fan David Eckard:
Dick, Chad,
My QC 15 headphones stopped turning on. While I have a Sony WH-1000XM4
for when I travel, I’d like my QC-15 to work again. It finally occurred
to me to see if any one will fix these. Turns out, someone does. A
website called FixHeadphones.com did it. I googled review
fixheadphones.com and the reviews I found sounded good. So I took a
chance on them. I They charged me $49 for the repair and $39 for a new
power board. A total of $88. Not bad if I say so my self.
They sent me a USPS padded envelope that could hold the headphones
only. Not the case, etc. I was instructed to add padding so I snagged
some bubble wrap from work. They did not want any of the accessories.
I understand why. A way to get a new audio cable as those are
proprietary, thus, expensive.
A few weeks later, I got them back. They worked just fine.
The QC 15 headphones do not have Bluetooth receiving. Back in 2018, I
found a specific to these headphones, Bluetooth receiver. These too work
just fine. I do not remember how much I spent on them but Amazon still
sells them for $49. And in December that year, just a few months later
had to buy a new charging cable having lost mine.

Don’t lose the cable. Ten bucks can get me lunch. Would rather spend it
that way. David Eckard

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv
