There are dozens of worthwhile discounts on tech and audio gear during October Prime Day, but if you’re looking for just one deal, make it this one. Right now, Bose‘s QuietComfort Bluetooth headphones are on sale starting at $199, a savings of $150. These affordable headphones are among our favorites for travel, thanks to their comfortable fit, top-tier noise canceling, and compact carrying case. Some colors are available for $229, which is still a solid deal.
The QuietComfort is the more affordable offering in Bose’s over-ear headphone lineup, which includes the QuietComfort Ultra and the just-released QuietComfort Ultra 2. But there are reasons why you may choose the more affordable option, including the lighter build, smaller carrying case, and more straightforward physical controls.

The QuietComfort headphones are available in a range of colors, and can be used wired or wireless.
After our own testing, the Bose QuietComforts deliver stellar noise-cancelation audio, whether we’re at home or hopping a noisy flight. They’re rarely this cheap, so it’s a good idea to snag them at this low price before Prime Day ends.
The QuietComfort headphones are the successor to Bose’s QuietComfort 45 headphones, and they feature a Quiet, Aware, or Custom ANC mode to cut out distractions and background noise. The headphones have up to 24 hours of battery life, which isn’t show-stopping, but it’s enough to get you through even the longest flights. You can also adjust the EQ using the Bose app and fine-tune it to your preferences.
Bose seems to have done away with the numbered system that included the QC 15, 25, 35, 45, and 700 headphones and now offers the QuietComfort Ultra and QuietComfort lines. The Ultra offers Bose’s most advanced ANC, plus features like immersive audio and ActiveSense, which adjusts the noise-canceling based on your environment.
