Not pleased with Bose headphone downgrade from model 700 to Quiet Comfort 45

I was a Pixel 1 owner and very happy with that until the battery performance became very poor, only this year so it did very well!  Was making do with very nice Huawei Mate 20 X until i dropped it and broke the screen. My OCD will not let me look it now so spent some time comparing new handsets that would suit my needs. I was struck by the looks and AI interface promise of the Pixel 6 but what really swung it was the offer of a set of Bose 700 headphones.  Now I find after waiting the advised time to make my claim that the 700s are no longer available and that instead I will be getting a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 45s and a £50 Google Voucher.  I am really not happy with this, I am a bit of an Audiophile and in my personal opinion the soundscape on the 45s are not even close to the 700s. Lack of stock quoted, so how come I can buy 700s from Bose direct right now?  Why should I put up with a lesser offer than what I agreed to when purchasing my Pixel 6.  I have no doubt there is small print that covers Googles sharp practice but I would of thought EE would do better to ensure promises are kept. £50 doesnt buy anything any good on Google, could of least provided a set of small in ear eaphones as a sweetner, as it is I feel very bitter and somewhat annoyed by Googles duplicity or poor stock quantity forecast.   Am i the only one?
