For a limited time, you can get a pair of Bose QuietComfort noise-canceling headphones for just $184.99 (regularly $359). These over-ear wonders bring Bose’s industry-leading ANC to your iPhone, iPad and Mac. And this open-box deal means you can get them for nearly half off their regular price.

Bose QuietComfort headphones deal: Adjustable noise cancellation for less

Premium noise-canceling headphones seem easy to justify on a long flight but much harder to justify at full price. And don’t even talk to us about the crazy price tag of Apple’s AirPods Max. They’re great, but … $549? Really?

Open-box pricing on these Bose QuietComfort headphones makes them a much better deal — they’re nearly one-third the list price of AirPods Max. And they come in black, white smoke and cypress green — a color you won’t find everywhere.

Plush earcup cushions and a padded band keep the 0.52-pound headphones comfortable through long sessions. A carrying case comes in the box with the audio cable and a USB-C charging cable. (Trust us: You’ll like the carrying case way more than the AirPods Max’s ridiculous smart case.)

Choose how much noise gets through

Noise cancellation on these Bose QuietComfort headphones works on a range rather than a simple on or off.

Quiet Mode blocks out the plane cabin noise or the open office completely. Aware Mode lets you hear a gate announcement or a co-worker while your music keeps playing. Plus, in the Bose app, you can build custom modes that set noise cancellation anywhere between those two.

Wind Block cuts the rush of air on a breezy walk. And Bose’s app also offers an adjustable EQ for bass, midrange and treble, so you can tune the sound to a podcast or playlist.

Multiple Bluetooth connections and 24 hours of battery life

Multipoint Bluetooth keeps the Bose QuietComfort headphones connected to two devices at once. You can pair them to your iPhone and your Mac, then move from a call to a video without reconnecting either one. A built-in microphone lets you take calls and use your phone’s voice assistant without reaching for it. And Bluetooth range reaches up to 30 feet.

Battery life runs up to 24 hours with noise cancellation on. If you forget to charge before heading out, 15 minutes on USB-C gets you about 2.5 hours of playback. When the battery does run out, the included audio cable keeps the music going in wired mode, though noise cancellation and EQ shut off.

The open-box label on this Bose QuietComfort deal means these are excess retail inventory. Each pair of headphones goes through verification to confirm it’s still in new condition, then ships in clean packaging with a one-year warranty.
