Amazon discounted Bose QuietComfort headphones by $100

While there are a lot of excellent headphones on the market, you don’t need to spend a ton on the best headphones to get yourself something that’s pretty solid. One great example is the Bose QuietComfort, which is the slightly upgraded version of the Bose QuietComfort 45, which are already excellent. Even better, you can get the Bose QC for just $249, rather than the usual $349 that they go for, so that’s a substantial $100 discount on the usual price.

Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort

One of the great things about the Bose QC is that it’s very comfortable, much more than you’d usually expect with a pair of headphones at this price bracket, with thick padding on the earcups and the top of your head. That’s good since you’re going to get a solid 24 hours or so of battery life out of them before needing a recharge, so these are great headphones for continuous use. That said, they don’t have any wear detection, which is a bit frustrating, but on the upside, you do get some excellent active noise canceling. It won’t compete with the likes of the Sony WH-1000XM5 or the AirPods Max, but it still does an excellent job.

In terms of audio quality, the Bose QC certainly has that Bose beautification that you might be aware of if you’ve used a lot of Bose products in the past. The high-end is energetic, while the bass is there without being overwhelming, and the overall EQ is not quite neutral, but it’s pretty close to what an audiophile may consider ideal. As for voice calls, they’re also pretty good, with the noise-canceling doing a good job of overcoming even a lot of wind.

All in all, the Bose QuietComfort are an excellent pair of headphones, and if you’re looking for something that’s in the middle-to-upper range, then you should take advantage of Amazon’s discount that brings the Bose QC down to just $249. On the other hand, if you’d like a few more options, you should check out these other great headphone deals.

Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones
"Noise cancellation and spatial audio have a new king, and it is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra," we said in our review of the wireless headphones. Our reviewer, Simon Cohen, gave these Bose cans a pretty fantastic rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Sitting on top of our list of the best noise-canceling headphones as our top overall choice (and also appearing in our general best headphones ranking), the Bose QuietComfort Ultra features best-in-class noise canceling, which isn't really a surprise as it's Bose that pioneered the development of active noise cancellation technology. With Quiet Mode, the sounds of your surroundings will be blocked, and with Aware Mode, you'll hear what's going on around you without having to take off the headphones.

There’s still time to try Amazon Music Unlimited for three months free

Recently, I shared a deal, and some news, that Amazon Music Unlimited not only comes with Audible included now, but also you can get started for free. That's right, you can try the premium version of the service for three months, for free. Normally it would cost you $11 per month, or $10 if you have Amazon Prime. That works out to about $30 for three months. For a limited time, you pay nada. Zilch. Fugazi.

While many prefer one of the other audio streaming services, my favorite is Amazon Music Unlimited. It’s not just because I’m an Amazon Prime subscriber, but also because I genuinely like the service. I have a few playlists put together of my favorite tunes, and I regularly receive some great recommendations for new tracks. The new Audible inclusion means you can essentially rent up to one audiobook per month (or billing cycle). Pretty sweet deal.
