We're in the thick of Black Friday deals now, and it means you're probably trying to score some fantastic bargains. There are discounts on just about everything going on right now, including big-name brands and some of the best tech you can find.
Take the excellent Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, for example, which are currently down to $129 from $179 ($50 off or 28% in savings). It’s a great price for a very solid pair of earbuds, but it’s not likely to last much longer than Black Friday itself, so you’ll need to be fast to secure this deal.
According to CNET's resident audio expert, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds offer "a lot to like for the price," and they're even more appealing at $50 off. They offer sound quality that lives up to the Bose reputation, and the sleek, stemless design provides a snug, comfortable fit (for most people).
They also support active noise cancellation and feature an Aware Mode for when you need to hear your surroundings. With an IPX4 weather-resistance rating, they're protected against sweat and splashing, so you can use them for workouts. Battery life runs up to 8.5 hours per charge, with the case extending total listening time to over 31 hours.
If these Bose earbuds aren't quite what you're looking for, you'll find tons of other options in our full roundup of all the best headphone deals available now.
