The Prime Day deals are still rolling in, and here's some good ones for the audiophiles. Bose QuietComfort headphones are available for a record-low price of $199. That's more than 40 percent off the usual list price for one of our favorite picks for a noise-canceling Bluetooth headset.
There is no shortage of over-ear headphones on the market, but Bose's QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones remain a favorite. And it's particularly worth noting that we haven't seen these headphones dip this low in price in more than a year.
These headphones have quite the resume: They feature full noise cancellation capabilities, 24 hours of battery life from a single charge and plush earcups to keep you comfortable.
One pleased reviewer deemed these "worth the money" and went on to share: "This headset is great. As far as the noise canceling goes, it is superb. I was in the kitchen cooking and singing at the top of my lungs and I couldn't even hear myself. ... The headphones fit well and are not heavy. I wear mine approximately 8 hours a day while at work, and have only had the battery go down to 70%. ... I upgraded to these from the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. While those were amazing as well, these go far beyond those."

The in-ear model is also more than 20 percent off.
Bose has a reputation for excellent audio tech and the QuietComfort line has adjustable EQ so you can tailor the sound balance to your tastes. The wireless headset promises "all day battery life," but you can also opt to use them in a wired configuration. There are also multiple colors available at this reduced price, including the Blue Dusk hue that's an Amazon exclusive.
The base headset isn't the only one currently on sale. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are also discounted to $329 for Prime Day. This high-end model impressed us with its combination of top-notch noise canceling and spatial audio technology. It also has touch controls built into the earcups and the headset can be turned off with head motions. The Ultra model offers the same 24 hours of battery life as the main model.
If you're already set with over-ear headphones, you might be more interested in the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. Those are on sale for $229, almost a quarter off the usual retail price. This set has the same blend of spatial audio and noise canceling as the Ultra model, but in earbud form. We found the Immersive Audio mode was a big battery drain, but otherwise these Bose earbuds are a stellar choice for in-ear headphones.
