The Bose QuietComfort headphones (the non-Ultra variety) are on sale. Best Buy’s early Black Friday sale has the comfy cans for 45 percent off, knocking their price down to $199. That matches their record low from Prime Day.
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’s Halloween weekend sale, dubbed “DoorBOOsters” (yes, really), is effectively a kickoff to the retailer’s Black Friday sale season, with more deal events to follow in November. Note that Amazon has already matched the price on the QuietComfort headphones, too.
