"Bose's line leads the way for the company in active noise cancellation, and Amazon just dropped the price to an unprecedented record low that makes premium audio accessible to anyone. The QuietComfort headphones now sell for $169, slashed from the usual $349 (51% off) and provide active noise cancellation and high-fidelity sound for less than half the price of the original."
"Active noise cancellation technology suppresses ambient sound incredibly well and creates that quiet bubble when traveling by airplane, train, or working in a noisy office. It suppresses background chitchat, the rumbling of engines and air conditioning humming immediately when Quiet Mode is on so you can just tune in to your music or work without diversion. The system works both through active electronic cancellation and passive isolation provided by the plush ear cushions and stops sound within a very wide range of frequencies."
"Aware Mode works the opposite way and pipes the ambient sound into your ears with external microphones and enables you to hear your surroundings without removing the headphones. This is useful if you want to hear airport announcements or have quick conversations, or be more attentive to the traffic while walking. Quiet and Aware modes toggle instantly with a button press for seamless control over how much of the outside world you want to let in."
Bose QuietComfort headphones are available for $169, reduced from $349, representing a 51% discount. Active noise cancellation suppresses a wide range of ambient sounds to create a quiet listening environment during travel or in noisy offices. Quiet Mode uses active electronic cancellation combined with passive isolation from plush memory-foam ear cushions. Aware Mode uses external microphones to pipe ambient sound in for announcements or conversations without removing the headphones, and modes toggle instantly with a button press. The over-ear design, even pressure distribution, and padded headband enhance comfort for extended wear. A 24-hour battery life covers multiple days of typical use.
