Today Only: Snag Bose QuietComfort Headphones for a Whopping 34% Off at Amazon or Best Buy

You can grab these top-rated headphones for just $229 — but not for long.

A pair of high-quality headphones can help you focus on work calls, listen to your favorite media privately during your commute and zone out as needed. If you’ve been looking for a reliable pair of wireless headphones, the Bose QuietComfort headphones won’t disappoint. Our editors rank them as some of the best over-ear headphones and the best noise-canceling headphones, too.

Right now, you can score a pair of Bose QuietComfort wireless headphones at a sweet 34% off, bringing the price down to $229 on both Amazon and Best Buy. The deal applies to several color options, so you can pick the one that suits your aesthetic the best. Best Buy is running this as part of its Deals of the Day promo, meaning it’s only available until tonight. Amazon hasn’t confirmed when its deal ends, but we recommend acting fast there as it’s likely to put the price back up by tomorrow, too.

The QuietComfort headphones include noise-cancellation and have Quiet and Aware modes so you can focus as needed or let some ambient sound in when you’re taking walks or need to know what’s happening around you. Adjustable EQ lets you customize your sound preferences so your favorite audio can shine. A battery life of up to 24 hours makes these headphones the perfect travel companions. Need a battery boost? It only takes a 15-minute charge to get an extra battery life of up to 2.5 hours.
