When it comes to premium noise-canceling headphones and earbuds, one brand we’re consistently impressed with is Bose. For years, the Big B has produced some of the most comfortable and best-sounding ANC devices, so you can imagine our thrill when we discovered one of the top Bose products is on sale this week: 

Right now, when you purchase the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones at Amazon or Best Buy, you’ll only pay $380. The full MSRP for the QC Ultra cans is $380, which is a $50 markdown from the $430 MSRP.

Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

We tested the Bose QC Ultra back in April 2024, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “Noise cancellation and spatial audio have a new king, and it is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra.” Simon went on to praise the QC Ultra for the premium material used, hi-res compatibility, and top-shelf ANC performance. 

As far as sound quality goes, the Bose QC Ultra deliver warm and mass market-friendly default audio, though you’ll be able to pop into the Bose app to change presets or create a custom EQ that best aligns with your listening needs. You’ll also get up to 24 hours of battery life on a full charge, and it only takes just shy of 2.5 hours to recharge from zero. 

We were also impressed by the headphones’ ability to render clear and full-bodied voices during phone calls and recordings. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s far better than much of the call audio offered by the competition. 

Save $50 on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones when you purchase today. We also recommend having a look at our roundups of the best Bose headphone deals, best Bose deals, and best headphone deals.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
