While there's no denying that the new Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are some of the best (if not the best) noise-cancelling headphones on the market, their more basic sibling, the regular QuietComforts, are still pretty awesome. In fact, Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino said they're her "all-time favorite headphones," and she's tested a ton. They're also significantly cheaper than the Ultras — especially now that they're on sale for Memorial Day.
As of May 25, the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones are just $229 at Amazon. That's $130 or nearly 40% off their list price of $359. While that's not the lowest price we've ever seen for these cozy cans, it's still an excellent deal on above-average noise-cancelling headphones that check all the right boxes. Not to mention, every color option is on sale for once. You can even grab the green pair pictured in this article for only $209.
The basic QuietComforts will still deliver impressive noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, rich audio, intuitive controls (which Mangino counts as a huge perk), and up to 24 hours of battery life. The only drawbacks are that you won't get spatial audio or more advanced AI features in the app. As Mangino writes in her review, "The average person will be more than satisfied with the headphone's full, rounded sound."
If you're looking to upgrade your headphones, but don't want to spend $400 or more, we can't recommend the $229 Bose QuietComfort headphones enough.
