Bose QuietComfort against CNET's yellow commerce background.
Bose/CNET

Right now, you can get the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones for $279 in deep plum at Amazon -- a $150 discount off the usual $429 list price. Several other color options are discounted, too. For instance, the lunar blue option is going for $299, while the black version is sitting at $319.

That’s an excellent deal on some of the best active noise-canceling headphones money can buy, and the lowest full‑warranty price I've seen so far. So, grab it before the deal expires.

CNET highly recommends the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, which holds the top spot in our best headphones roundup, so you can be confident this is money well spent.

These over-the-ear headphones not only look the part (they’re gorgeous) but they also have the features to match. Hybrid noise‑canceling technology ensures that you hear only what you want to and nothing that you’d rather avoid. Immersive audio and cinema mode spatialize the sounds you hear, making them seem to come from beyond the headphones. It makes for a much more natural sound, especially when listening to compatible music.

Other notable features include multipoint Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity so you can use your new headphones with multiple devices, USB‑C wired audio mode for lossless playback, and up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge (23 hours with immersive audio).

Looking to make calls with your new headphones? No problem. The QuietComfort Ultra headphones have no fewer than 12 microphones for crystal‑clear audio, and they deliver excellent voice calling performance, as we noted in our Bose QuietComfort Ultra review.

Why this deal matters

A great pair of active noise-canceling headphones can make a huge difference when you’re trying to get work done in a noisy office or block out the chaos of your commute. Bose consistently delivers some of the best ANC on the market, and this deal means you can get in on the action for $150 less than usual.
