Missed your Prime Day chance to save on Bose’s latest and most impressive high-end wireless headphones? No problem! The QuietComfort Ultra headphones are back in the spotlight with the same $80 discount we first saw in the hours before Prime Day (which also lasted throughout the entire sale).
You can save the same amount on all available colors. To our knowledge, these beauties have not been priced more heavily than this before, so they are now available at the best price! However, Amazon isn’t the only one selling them at 19% off. You can also get your Bose headphones at Best Buy and Walmart with the same discount. With a suggested retail price of almost $430, these high-end headphones are far from affordable even with this Amazon price cut. But if you’re willing to make this kind of investment, you’ll definitely be happy with what you get.
First of all, the QuietComfort Ultra are lightweight and incredibly comfortable to wear. With their soft ear cushions and headband that evenly distributes pressure, they shouldn’t cause any discomfort even when listening for long periods of time.
Thanks to their large ear cushions, these beauties offer excellent isolation. Combined with top-notch ANC technology, you get excellent noise cancellation while commuting, on a plane, and just about anywhere else. There are also three ANC levels: Quiet Mode, Aware Mode, and Immersion Mode. The latter combines full ANC and immersive audio.
These guys also excel at audio quality, tailoring the sound to your specific biology via CustomTune. In practice, this means there may be differences in sound from person to person, but in general you get clear and rich vocals, balanced mids, and booming bass (which you can tweak via the EQ settings).
The not-so-good news is that, unlike one of their main competitors, the Sony WH-1000XM5, the QuietComfort Ultra don’t have an IP rating, meaning you might not want to use them at the gym or in heavy rain.
However, if you don’t mind the lack of an IP rating, you should be pretty happy with Bose’s latest flagship headphones. They also offer up to 24 hours of battery life, or 18 hours in Immersive Audio mode, which isn’t too bad.
