SAVE 43%: The Bose QuietComfort headphones are on sale for just $199 this Prime Day, putting them $150 lower than their $349 asking price.
The Bose QuietComfort headphones are nothing particularly fancy.
Their design is very similar to generations past in the QuietComfort line, they don’t offer a form of spatial audio, and their app doesn’t come with any crazy AI features. But for someone who needs a very comfortable, solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the brand’s budget option is hard to beat. And with their sale price of $199, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are offering some of the best value you can find on headphones this Prime Day.
As a headphones reviewer, I’ve tried Bose’s fancier $449 QuietComfort Ultras, the latest Sony XM6s, Sennheiser headphones — if there’s a popular premium headphone out there, chances are I’ve tried it. But before all those headphones, the humble Bose QC 35 II’s were my daily headphones. Though those have been long discontinued, the QuietComfort headphones emulate their best features well — they’re incredibly comfortable, have a nice rounded sound profile, and noise-cancelling that will do the job in an office, noisy café, or on the street.
Comfort-wise, I find them second only to the QuietComfort Ultras, and even then, the gap isn’t wide. Plus, if you’re not a fan of on-ear touch controls (like me) these QuietComfort headphones are still on an all-button system.

Again, you won’t get the absolute best sound quality, and like most Bose headphones, these QuietComforts can deal with some connection issues when paired to multiple devices. But if you can look past those flaws, these headphones perform on par with much pricier models where it matters most and, at $199, are still significantly cheaper than their more expensive counterparts on sale.
