Overview

  • The first-generation QuietComfort Ultra is on sale for $279–$280, about $150 or 35 percent off its original $429–$430 price, a deeper reduction than last Black Friday, according to Engadget.
  • The deal is available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose, with limited color options: Amazon has black and deep plum at $279, Best Buy lists lunar blue, and Bose offers deep plum only, Mashable reports.
  • Bose’s newer second-generation model is discounted to $399 from $449 at Amazon and other retailers.
  • Engadget rated the first-gen 86/100 for top-tier noise cancellation and comfort, noting Immersive Audio and battery life rated up to 24 hours with ANC (about 18 hours with Immersive Audio), with testing exceeding estimates.
  • 9to5Toys says the current first-gen price is among the lowest they have tracked for new units, framing it as a strong value versus the 2nd-gen’s additions like Cinema Mode, improved on-head detection, and upgraded ANC.
