I had QC25, $300, needs fucking piece of paper to be put into ear cup to work. Bose is a rip off. Just look into this vid - 40000 views of how and where to put piece of paper into your $300 headphones - https://www.youtube.com&#x

In fact connection in Ukraine is much better than even in US. I have 60 mbs at home and pay 15$/month without any traffic limit (no throttling too). For $20 you can get 100mbs. In most major cities you have an access to several providers so
