Bose's first-gen QC Ultra headphones just hit their lowest price to date

"If you value peace and quiet, particularly when traveling, Bose's first-gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are worth checking out. They're our favorite noise-canceling headphones for travel, and right now, you can snag a pair for an all-time low of $279 ($150 off) in select colors from Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose. All three retailers estimate that shipments should arrive before Christmas, with Bose saying its cutoff for free two-day shipping is December 22nd at 12PM ET."

"The QC Ultra offer top-tier noise cancellation, allowing you to block out the chaos of the holidays. They also feature some of the best comfort you'll find in this category, which is fitting considering the name. The design is lightweight, the ear cushions are nice and soft, and the headband features a relatively gentle clamping force, making them comfortable to wear over extended periods."

"In his review, former senior reviewer Chris Welch said the headphones put a bit more emphasis on bass than Bose's Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, which the first-gen QC Ultra replaced. The overall sound is more detailed and preserves the lows and highs even when the volume is dialed down. The QC Ultra also support high-end features like wear detection, which will automatically pause your audio when you take them off,"

Bose's first-gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are available for $279 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose, with shipments expected before Christmas and Bose's free two-day shipping cutoff at December 22nd, 12PM ET. The headphones deliver top-tier noise cancellation, comfortable lightweight design, soft ear cushions, gentle clamping force, foldability for storage, and up to 24 hours of battery life. The sound emphasizes bass more than the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 while retaining detail across lows and highs at low volumes. High-end features include wear detection and a natural-sounding transparency mode. A second-gen model adds longer battery life, lossless USB-C audio support, and improved transparency.
