The 2nd-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds feature excellent noise-cancelling, along with a secure fit that makes them easy to wear for long hours. These can sense noise spikes in your surroundings and smooth them out to keep things comfortable, plus let you adjust the level of noise cancellation manually, too. There’s plenty more that makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, and the best part? You can pick a pair up without paying the full price for it!

Amazon is now offering these earbuds for $70 less than their original $299 price, dropping them to $229. All five colors – Desert Gold, Black, Deep Plum, Midnight Violet, and White Smoke – are discounted, with standard shipping included.

Comfortable to wear for extended periods

You get nine combos of eartips and stability bands to help you find the right fit. These stay securely in place for hours, which makes them great for workouts, morning runs, and even bus rides – no more adjusting your buds every few minutes to make sure they don’t randomly pop out. Additionally, the CustomTune tech analyzes the shape of your ears and adapts the in-ear headphones for a more custom listening experience.

Noise cancellation is pretty strong. You can expect your buds to cancel out most background noises like traffic sounds, your PC’s fan humming, or background chatter well. This level of cancellation is adjustable, so you’ll stay in control of how much noise comes in. For times you want to fully stay aware of your surroundings, the Aware Mode can come in handy. This one lets ambient sounds in, meaning you get to listen to both what’s playing and what’s happening around. Even better, this mode still keeps things comfortable, since it can minimize random noise spikes using ActiveSense tech on its own.

Then there’s SpeechClarity tech that makes it easy to take phone/video calls on the go. Noise-rejecting mics filter out unwanted noise and deliver your voice clearly to the other end, even when you’re somewhere noisy. 

Battery-wise, the buds offer a playtime of up to six hours in Quiet or Aware Mode, and up to four with Immersive Audio. The case holds up to three full charges, and you can even recharge it wirelessly when you don’t want to bother with cables.

All things considered, these buds pack in solid sound, multiple listening modes, and a long battery life – and that’s just the start. These are now discounted by 23%, so you can pick them up for $229 instead of $299.
