But at $429, that quality doesn\u2019t come cheap. However, it\u2019s cheaper today thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/782478\/october-amazon-prime-day-deals-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prime Big Deal Days<\/a>, albeit only for the boldest (best, some may say) color scheme in the lineup. You can currently grab the wireless headphones in the deep plum color for the all-time low price of $284 ($145 off) at <a rel=\"sponsored noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bose-QuietComfort-Bluetooth-Headphones-Cancelling\/dp\/B0DX2LNZ68?th=1&amp;tag=theverge02-20\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> for a limited time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">If you prefer a more inconspicuous color (can\u2019t blame you there), the headphones in black, lunar blue, or white smoke cost $329 ($100 off) at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bose-QuietComfort-Bluetooth-Headphones-Cancelling\/dp\/B0CCZ1L489?th=1&amp;tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/482924\/614286\/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fbose-quietcomfort-ultra-wireless-noise-cancelling-over-the-ear-headphones-black%2FJ7C5V6T245%2Fsku%2F6554464\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Best Buy<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/goto.target.com\/c\/482924\/81938\/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fbose-quietcomfort-ultra-bluetooth-wireless-noise-cancelling-headphones-black%2F-%2FA-88914398\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Target<\/a>, which is the lowest price we\u2019ve seen for those colors since April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The QuietComfort Ultra offer top-tier noise cancellation and some of the best comfort you\u2019ll find in this category (few products have such fitting names). They feature a lightweight design, soft ear cushions, and a wide headband with gentle clamping force. In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23920591\/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-headphones-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">review<\/a>, former Verge reviewer Chris Welch noted that he didn\u2019t experience any discomfort during extended listening sessions, which is crucial if you plan to wear them during long flights or at work. The foldable design and 24-hour battery also make them a great option for travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Of course, the headphones also deliver the fantastic sound quality we\u2019ve come to expect from Bose, with support for the aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec, which provides improved audio fidelity on Android devices. It includes a list of other high-end features, like wear detection, which will automatically pause your audio when you take them off, and a natural-sounding transparency mode that pipes in ambient noise to keep you aware of your surroundings. They also feature a decent \u201cimmersive audio\u201d listening mode, which is Bose\u2019s take on spatial audio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In case you missed the news, it is worth noting that Bose recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/772496\/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-anc-wireless-headphones-second-generation-usb-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">introduced a second-gen version<\/a> of the QC Ultra Headphones with a higher starting price of $449. The latest model resembles the original but offers several new features, including support for lossless audio wired over USB-C, extended battery life, and an enhanced transparency mode that can filter out sudden loud noises. However, with the first-gen version now down to as low as $284, the new version\u2019s features may not be worth paying close to $200 more for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s no question that Bose\u2019s last-gen QuietComfort Ultra are some of the brand\u2019s best noise-canceling headphones, especially if&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[92941,982,1685,69292,86583,326,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-481555","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-bose","9":"tag-deals","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-headphones","12":"tag-prime-day","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115335675490141970","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
