Deal | Limited-time sale cuts 43% off the Bose QuietComfort noise-canceling headphones ^↺

The Bose QuietComfort headphones with active noise control are on sale. As part of October Amazon Prime Day deals, they are enjoying a 43% discount. With this, they have dropped to $199, a solid $150 cut from the regular price.

These QuietComfort headphones are in Bose's new lineup, which has introduced a new naming scheme. Compared to the Ultra, the standard variant don't get some of the fancy stuff like the Snapdragon Sound Platform. That also means they don't have support for aptX Adaptive and come with Bluetooth 5.1 instead of 5.3.

However, for this discounted price, the standard Bose QuietComfort wireless headphones stand as a good option. The noise-canceling performance is great, and the design is geared for comfort. As for the sound performance, these deliver Bose's signature sound.

More specifically, with 35 mm dynamic drivers, the Bose QuietComfort are said to offer rich lows and bright highs. The company claims that these active noise control headphones can offer "high-fidelity audio," but the codec choice is limited to SBC and AAC. The latter can deliver a max bit rate of 264 kbps, which, when compared to aptX codecs and LDAC, is relatively low.

On the bright side, there's an adjustable EQ, allowing you to tune the audio according to your preference. As for the design, the Bose QuietComfort essentially have the same build as the QC 45. That means the comfort level and portability are the same.

Other notable features include Spotify Tap support, up to 24 hours of battery life, a 3.5 mm audio port for wired listening, and multiple color options. You can learn more about the Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth headphones from the review video below.
