The new and four-star-rated Bose QuietComfort Headphones are already down to a record-low price ahead of Black Friday

I’ve used a pair of Bose QuietComfort Headphones for years, and they remain some of the best cans I’ve ever owned. The manufacturer just released a new pair in the last few months, promising the same excellent audio quality, strong noise cancellation, and comfortable fit in a whole new package. These Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) are now at Amazon for $219 (was $359) — that’s a record-low price.

At the same time as this offer, the original Bose QuietComfort Headphones are at Amazon for $169 (was $359). Personally, I’d pay for the upgraded model if possible, but this is also a record-low price and arguably an even better deal if you’re on a tighter budget.

We scored the new model four stars in our Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) review. While they came with a strong recommendation for the impressive sound, snug fit and good noise cancellation, we suggested it was best to wait for a price cut. Now that there’s $140 off for Black Friday, the value for money is undeniable.
