Dear all,

Long story, but I want to make it short as possible.
I did apply better leather care product which is autoglym leather care balm (no cleaning inside as it states) to my Bose's headphone which costs me at least 350$. At the same time, I did apply Meguiar's Goldglass Rich leather to my hand gloves.

At beginning, both gloves and headphone's leather look very nice after applying the products. It looks smoother, nice darker color and clean. But just after several days, I am almost under very shock because the leather peels it off automatically into several small leather pieces. It become worse when the cushion of earphone take apart around stitches. It's the same to hand gloves, there's like hundred of small leather skins peel it off.

Is this only for products from Meguiars and Autoglym? How's about higher quality products from Pinnacle, wolfgang's, etc...specially from Black Label product? I ask this because it seems to have a small description to avoid to use on soft glove leather within Pinnacle and wolfgang's

Explain please if possible why?

Thank you in advance

Are you sure that's real uncoated leather?
Also why would you need to put protectant on those?

There really is no need to protect them still. My dad has some of the QC15 and they are super durable for a long time and even if they have problems. Bose amazing customer care will take care of you.

I've had the same Bose headphones for 7 years. When the cups finally wore out I ordered replacements straight from Bose for less than $30. No need to protect them. Just replace them.

I have found out over the years that performing certain facets of personal hygiene, on a regular basis, is what will assure years and years of trouble-free headphone usage...
Not applications of aftermarket "leather-care" products.

I take it you mean personal hygiene performed on the body, not the headphones ?

Yes...(of course)!
