2 min readAmazon’s Prime Big Deal Days savings event is officially live. Bose’s editor-tested QuietComfort Headphones are now over 50% off, which is the lowest price we’ve seen all year. Save nearly $200 on the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market.Bose has been a leader in noise-cancelling audio for almost half a century, and in 2026, it’s still going strong. More than going strong—it’s still easily the best in the biz. The downside of that is that Bose’s devices don’t come cheap. But today is the first leg of October Prime Day—Prime Big Deal Days, if you want to get technical— and the brand might have the best sale of the event so far. Right now, you can get the editor-tested QuietComfort Headphones for over 50 percent off—almost $200 in total savings.Shop Amazon Big Deal Days Sales HereI personally use these headphones regularly for work, and they might be even better than advertised. They’re great for work calls, and its namesake is scarily accurate. The real difference-maker, in my humble opinion, is the second part of that moniker: comfort. I avoided over-the-ear headphones for years; cheaper models turned my ears beet red within an hour. These are, quite literally, built different. They feature plush cushioning and a surprisingly snug fit; I can even wear them working out. They also last 24 hours after a full charge, which I love. I’m not the most...on the ball in that regard, so it’s nice not having to charge them often. There’s even a backup wired option to connect sans Bluetooth.From a technical standpoint, the noise-cancelation is the best on the market. Our Senior Tech Editor, Stefan Vazharov, lauds what he considers a fully customizable audio experience.“Regarding noise cancelation, I wouldn’t recommend the headphones just for their ability to eliminate ambient noise distractions swiftly—that’s a given in this price range,” Vazharov said. “It’s the option to customize the noise cancelation by choosing from ten levels of intensity, then saving it into a custom mode for specific activities.”The headphones connect to the Bose app, and it’s super intuitive to control, which is especially helpful for beginners and non-audiophiles. I also love the convenient multipoint toggle feature, which allows you to stay connected to all your devices at once and switch between them on a whim. You get what you pay for here, but we still usually recommend them at the full $360 sticker price. $170 is a downright steal.Shop the Bose QuietComfort Sale HereTim Kohut is the Deals and Trends Editor for Popular Mechanics, Men’s Health, Best Products, and Runner's World.
