The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are ‘the absolute best active noise cancelling cans for the money’ — now back to a record low price

I won’t waste your time. If you’re looking for the very best noise cancelation tech and outstanding sound quality, then let me recommend the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) at Amazon for $399 (was $449).

The $50 discount is a return to the record-low price for the cans we awarded a five-star rating in our Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) review. It’s difficult for me to overstate how impressive these headphones really are.

We praised their brilliant noise cancelation, comfortable fit, and balanced, energetic sound. They’re worth every cent at full price, but now that they’ve dropped below $400, they’re an absolute steal.

The original Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones narrowly missed out on a five-star rating, but Bose put everything right for the second-gen model. No wonder they’re the overall winners in our best noise-cancelling headphones guide. You can find out why we rate them so highly by reading our in-depth Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) review.

If you’re short on time, here are a few quotes that sum it up. We called them the “absolute best active noise canceling cans for the money,” with “balanced, energetic sound,” and “as comfortable as these things ever get.” We summarised the entire review as: “the king of ANC is back, better than ever.”

The only thing we found lacking was the “humdrum control app,” but we don’t think that should stop you from buying them. They sound great, have a rich set of features, and are now at their lowest-ever price once more.

If you have a soft spot for Bose but aren’t interested in this deal, then it’s worth checking our Bose headphone deals page for all the latest options. Or, for something more stylish, consider the Beats headphone deals going on.
