Bose’s second-generation QuietComfort Ultra earbuds have dropped below $250 at Amazon, with the retailer listing them for $249 as of July 17.
That price takes $50 off the earbuds’ usual $299 list price. Mashable reports the deal brings the earbuds back to their Prime Day price, and says the offer is limited-time.
The sale applies across every available color, according to Mashable. Price tracker CamelCamelCamel shows some colorways, including White Smoke and Midnight Violet, at their lowest-ever Amazon prices.
The deal at a glance
Product: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, 2nd Gen
Sale price: $249 at Amazon
List price: $299
Savings: $50
Colors: Every available color is included at the sale price, according to Mashable
The Bose earbuds are also carrying strong marks from Mashable’s reviewers. The site ranks the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds as its top pick among Bose headphones and earbuds, and lists them among its favorite wireless earbuds overall as the most comfortable option.
In Mashable’s review, Bethany Allard called the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra earbuds “one of the best noise-cancelling earbuds available.” She wrote that the sound quality was “really good,” while saying active noise cancellation was the feature that stood out most.
Allard also compared the noise cancellation with the earlier model, writing that the newer earbuds felt more seamless than the first generation. She said she had sometimes heard louder hissing and occasional crackling with the first-gen pair, while noting that her unit may have been faulty.
The discount lands the earbuds in a busy premium earbud market, but the current Amazon pricing is the key number for shoppers tracking Bose’s flagship buds. At $249, the 2nd Gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are matching the deal price Mashable saw during Prime Day.
As with most Amazon tech deals, the listed price may change after the reported sale window. For now, the $50 cut is live as of July 17, with Bose’s current QuietComfort Ultra color lineup included in the markdown.
