Are you on the fence for a new pair of Bluetooth noise-canceling over-ear headphones? Bose’s latest QuietComfort Headphones are on sale ahead of Black Friday and might be some of the best options out there.
While Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still over a week away, many shoppers prefer buying their favorite gadgets early to avoid the rush and to have something ready for loved ones at Thanksgiving. If you are looking to pick up new Bluetooth noise-canceling over-ear headphones right now, Bose has some of the best options, and they are currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy.
These include the high-end QuietComfort Headphones, now down to $199, which is $150 less than the usual $349. This is the second-best price and only $30 above the record low we briefly saw earlier this week.
You also get to choose from several colorways, including Black, Moonstone Grey, Petal Pink, and White Smoke.
Why Buy the Bose QuietComfort Headphones
The Bose QuietComfort Headphones (review), or QC Headphones, are spiritual successors to the popular QC 45 over-ears. They are the latest generation, introduced more than two years ago. While a refresh is expected soon, they remain a solid purchase, especially at the current price.
The headphones feature the same lightweight over-ear design, weighing 240 grams, with plush ear cushions that keep them comfortable during extended listening sessions. Physical buttons around the earcups provide a quicker way to control playback without reaching for your phone.

In terms of sound, Bose equipped them with new custom tuning and audio calibration, resulting in a more balanced and cleaner profile. The bass and mids are punchier, and with the equalizer you can adjust the sound to your liking. They also deliver more effective ANC for blocking outside noise and a more natural transparency mode.
One drawback is the lack of spatial audio, though this is not a feature most users expect in headphones. The QC Headphones do include multipoint connection, allowing you to pair and switch between multiple devices seamlessly.
Battery life has been improved to 24 hours, which is modest but supported by quick charging. A 15-minute charge provides up to 2.5 hours of listening time.
