There’s an overwhelming amount of options to peruse when you’re in the market for new audio gear. Bose has been a recognized name in the space for ages and always seems to satisfy. The QuietComfort headphones are one of the best options you can get right now. They’re an over-ear set that support active noise cancellation and happen to be pretty heavily discounted at the moment. Amazon currently has the premium Bluetooth wireless headphones going for 31% off. They normally sell for $359 so that deal ends up taking off $110. You’ll only end up having to pay $249 for a limited time.

For folks that have only ever used tiny in-ear earbuds, then I have news for you. You haven’t truly experienced sound. An over-ear pair of headphones like the Bose QuietComfort can immerse you in the music your listening to like no other.

Cancel Out the World Around You

The sound gets even better when you enable active noise cancellation. While activated, the Bose QuietComfort headphones will be able to eliminate all that unwanted distracting background noise happening around you so you can fully focus on the sound of whatever song, podcast, movie, or audiobook you have queued up. It’s a great option for frequent flyers that want to hush the loud noise coming from the plane turbine while in the air.

Not every situation calls for active noise cancellation. When it comes time that you need to hear what is happening around you, or you are striking up a conversation with someone nearby, you can switch over to Aware Mode. This will allow those external sounds to filter in so you can maintain a dialogue with someone without having to remove the headphones.

All of that covers the “quiet” part in the name, so what about “comfort”? Well, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are designed with plush padding along both the headband and ear cushions that are made to distribute pressure evenly. You can wear these headphones from sunrise to sunset without feeling that fatigue you might experience with other options. That translates to more time spent enjoying your music or other audio source.

The Bose QuietComfort headphones come in a wide array of colors, but not all are on sale at the moment. If you want to save the most you can, go with either the standard black or the sandstone versions as those two are at this moment the cheapest available thanks to a $110 discount.
