Amazon is offering some of the best-rated Bose headphones at record prices. These include the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones, which feature best-in-class active noise cancellation (ANC). Normally $429, the wireless cans are now just $379, which is an all-time low.

Engadget’s Billy Steele praised the headphones’ sound, ANC and comfort in our review, but also found them a bit pricey at their normal retail price, so this sale might be the right time to grab a pair. The headphones are comfortable for long listening sessions – with enough battery life to keep up. While its Immersive Audio spatial listening mode is a bit off-key (and not for everyone), the feature works incredibly well with some titles and genres. The headphones are our runners-up in Engadget’s guide to noise-canceling headphones.
Battery life is impressive, and our review unit exceeded Bose’s claims of 24 hours with ANC on or 18 hours with ANC and Immersive Audio enabled. When Engadget tested the latter mode, the headphones still had 30 percent remaining capacity after 20 hours of listening. They feature a streamlined design with fewer physical navigation buttons than the standard QuietComfort variant, giving them a sleeker aesthetic. This also includes metal in the headband and hinge (with no visible screws).
Amazon also has several other Bose products for sale. The highly-rated QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, which have similar features in a compact in-ear form factor, are available for $50 off ($249). They also feature a spatial audio mode and impressive ANC to block out your surroundings while working or commuting. They’re our pick for best noise cancellation in Engadget’s wireless earbuds buying guide.
If spatial audio algorithms aren’t your thing, you can save $100 on the standard Bose QuietComfort headphones. They also feature leading noise cancellation and high audio quality, so all that’s missing is the illusion that they’re in an acoustic “Immersive Audio” sweet spot. They offer 24-hour battery life and multipoint connectivity to easily switch between multiple source devices.
Bose also offers the same sale on its website, a good option if you don’t have Amazon Prime. For more information, see the full listing.
