These Bestselling Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones Are on Sale for One of Their Lowest Prices of the Year

Whether you have a long commute on the train or you work from home, a reliable set of headphones can make or break your day—and not just during those moments when you really want to pump up the volume. Bose is renowned when it comes to headphones, and in recent years, the QuietComfort 45 line has garnered tons of praise among audiophiles for delivering crisp sound, ample battery life, and most importantly, superb noise cancelation.

Now for a limited time, you can get a pair of these top-rated headphones for $80 off their usual $329 retail value, bringing the price down to $249. Though this is still a big investment, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on the QC 45s outside of Prime Day in July and October, respectively (and that was the only time we saw them substantially drop in price throughout all of 2022). In short, discounts like this on the QC 45s don’t come around often, so when they do, it’s a big deal.

With the Bose QC 45 wireless headphones, you’re getting top-notch noise cancelation, so you can tune out the background volume and focus on what matters most, whether it be a new podcast, your favorite music, or listening along during a Zoom meeting. You can adjust this too, choosing between three unique settings via a side button or through the brand’s custom app for the precise amount of noise cancelation you’d prefer.

Because these 4.7-star-rated headphones are also Bluetooth-enabled and compatible with Alexa, you’ll be able to access new songs, programs, and more with total convenience (and without having to scroll through your phone). There’s even a built-in, dual-microphone system, so you can answer calls and get super-clear sound and voice pick-up with these.

More than 8000 Amazon shoppers have tried these lightweight Bose QC 45 headphones, and many laud their superior audio quality and the noise-cancelation functionality. “The sound is absolutely immersive; my worries about these headphones was that the bass was going to be too heavy ... that wasn’t the case with Quiet Comfort; it’s strong, but it doesn’t overpower. The mids and treble sound great too,” one customer wrote. Many rave about the battery life, too. According to the brand, they’re good for up to 24 hours of wireless playtime off a single charge. “Battery life is long and they can simultaneously connect to multiple devices so you can pair them with a laptop, phone, tablet, etc. without fiddling much with settings,” another user revealed.

Grab the Bose QuietComfort 45 Series wireless headphones today on Amazon for $80 off their usual price, or consider checking out the QuietComfort 35 II wireless headphones, which are also on sale for a slight discount in black ($330, down from $349). The QC 35 II set offers up to 20 hours of battery life and delivers Alexa-enabled voice control for music; you’ll also get access to Bose AR, which is the brand’s audio-only version of augmented reality.
