With the second-generation QuietComfort Headphones on the horizon, Bose has slashed prices on most of its current lineup of headphones and earbuds. But are these deals actually good, or should you hold out for the new model? Let's break down the details and current prices.
Original QuietComfort Headphones drop to $229
The most direct comparison to the new model is the previous version. The original Bose QuietComfort Headphones are now available on Amazon for $229, saving you $130 off the original $359 price. This is the standard sale price outside of major events, but it's still $50 higher than the all-time low seen during Prime Day in June. However, compared to the new QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen), which will retail at $359, the originals represent a significant deal. It's a good but not great saving, and definitely one that will be beaten during Black Friday in November if you're willing to wait.

QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds hit their lowest price of the year
The five-star-rated Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dropped to $249, a $50 discount. This price matches the lowest we've seen this year, making it a great opportunity to grab them if you've missed previous offers. Again, they were $50 cheaper during last year's Black Friday, so a similar deal may return in a few months, but such deep discounts are rare for these earbuds.
A mixed bag of offers
In summary, the current deals are a mixed bag. It's no surprise that record-low prices aren't featured in this Bose promotion, but there are still significant savings on several top-tier products. If you don't have the patience to wait until November, these are excellent opportunities to seize. Among other notable deals, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones remain at $379, a price stable since Prime Day in June, offering a clear step up in audio quality and noise cancellation. The more affordable Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are at $149, providing top-tier active noise cancellation at an accessible price. Finally, the innovative Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, with their open-ear design, are back at their record-low price of $249, offering an immersive listening experience while keeping you aware of your surroundings.
