Noise-cancelling headphones can be great for anyone who wants to enjoy a distraction-free, immersive listening experience, especially when they are out and about. These options block external noise, so you can enjoy whatever’s playing without traffic sounds or background chatter getting in the way.

Bose QuietComfort headphones are one of the best around, and you can now treat yourself to a pair for half off. These $359 headphones are currently available for $179. This Prime Day offer applies to quite a few colors, including Twilight Blue, Black, Moonlight Grey, Standstone, Ice Blue, Petal Pink, and White Smoke. Other options are discounted too, but they’re priced closer to $200.

Note that Prime Day ends tonight, so the discount is only here for a few more hours. If these headphones have been on your wishlist, you’ll need to get your orders in quickly.

Two listening modes

QuietComfort headphones combine incredibly strong noise cancellation with passive features to shut off the outside world completely. In the Quiet mode, you can enjoy your favorite songs without external distractions (like traffic noise, the hum of an airplane cabin, or conversations) mixing with the music and ruining the experience. This makes it easy to focus on the audio, even when you’re sitting somewhere noisy!

Of course, that doesn’t always work for every situation. Sometimes, it’s just better to stay aware of your surroundings. For that, there’s an Aware mode. This one lets some ambient sounds in, so you can stay aware of what’s happening around without taking the headphones off. Switching between the two is really easy. You can do that via built-in physical controls or the Bose Music App.

EQ is also adjustable in the app, which means you can fine-tune bass and treble to match your preferences. Additionally, these let you plug into your device for a wired experience. This comes in handy when your device’s Bluetooth is acting up, or you just want to save battery life. That said, Bluetooth is still your best option for regular use. You can even pair up to two devices with your QuietComfort headphones at the same time.

Battery-wise, you’re looking at around 24 hours on a single charge – plenty for long days. And when you do run low, a quick 15-minute charge via USB-C gives you up to 2.5 hours of additional play time! Another thing to appreciate is how comfortable these are to wear. The plush over-ear cushions hug your ears, while the padded band keeps the headphones in place without putting any unnecessary pressure on your head.

You can now pick these headphones up for $179 at Amazon, after a massive 50% discount. Several colors are discounted, so you’ve got plenty of options to choose from!
