Best Buy has kicked off its early Black Friday deals by discounting the Bose QuietComfort headphones (the non-Ultra variety) to $199. That’s 45 percent off and one of the best prices we’ve seen — not to mention, it’s a return of their Prime Day price from last month. Note that Amazon has already matched the price on the QuietComfort headphones, too.
Bose’s headphones have top-notch comfort and active noise cancellation (ANC). For the latter, you can choose between “Quiet” (full ANC) and “Aware” (hear your surroundings) modes. There’s also a wind-blocking feature. The headphones’ audio, while not quite on par with the $449 Ultra variant (and missing spatial tricks), far surpasses what you’ll typically find for $199.

The company estimates 24 hours of battery life. It also supports quick charging: Plug in its USB-C cable and get up to 2.5 hours of charge in only 15 minutes.
This model doesn’t include an option to turn off ANC altogether, which some people may have appreciated. (That would have led to even more battery life, desirable for frequent travelers.) But if you’re like me and always listen in ANC or aware modes, this is as solid a pick as you’ll find for the sale price.
Best Buy has a bunch of other headphones on sale for Black Friday. Of note are the Bose Ultra open-ear buds for $100 off, and the Beats Studio Pro for $150 off.
