Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 40% off — now $269

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are the company’s flagship over-ear active noise-cancelling model, carrying the same noise cancellation tech that made the QuietComfort name familiar. The 2023 release adds Bose Immersive Audio, CustomTune calibration and multipoint Bluetooth.

They normally list for $449 but are currently $269 on Amazon, a 40% discount. Battery life runs about 24 hours with Immersive Audio off, or about 18 hours with it on, and the headphones come in Black, White Smoke and Lunar Blue. Noise cancellation on the Ultra is the most aggressive Bose has put in a consumer pair.

Quiet Mode handles plane engines, train rumble and open-plan office hum, while ActiveSense is a smart Aware mode that lets ambient sound through but reduces sudden loud spikes like passing motorcycles or a nearby coffee grinder.
