The Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) are currently available from Amazon for $219, reduced from $359. According to the source, this is the lowest price recorded for the recently released model and represents a $140 discount ahead of Black Friday.

The second-generation headphones retain Bose’s focus on audio quality, active noise cancellation and comfort. They also offer an all-day battery life, although the source does not specify a battery figure for this model. In a review, the headphones received four stars, with praise for their sound, snug fit and effective noise cancellation. The review originally suggested waiting for a price reduction, making the current offer a stronger value than the launch price.

Amazon is also selling the original Bose QuietComfort Headphones for $169, down from $359. This is likewise described as a record-low price. The older model includes noise cancellation, high-quality audio and up to 24 hours of battery life, and previously received a four-star rating from expert testers.

The second-generation model is presented as the preferable option for shoppers able to spend more, while the original headphones offer a lower-cost alternative with Bose’s established noise-cancelling features.
