This Deal Brings the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Back to Their All-Time Low

You can score these excellent earbuds for just $179 right now, if you’re quick.

We’ve spotted the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds back at their lowest price, $179. You can pick them up at Amazon, where they’re being sold by Adorama, or grab them directly from Adorama if you prefer. This is a steep $120 drop from their original $299 price. We’ve seen this pair sold at this all-time low price a few times before, but it never stays around for long.

It’s worth noting that these earbuds are the now-discontinued first-gen model, which would explain the heavy discount. The newer second-gen buds look virtually identical but add features like wireless charging and improved adaptive noise cancellation. If you don’t mind missing that upgrade, this deal is an easy way to save on an excellent pair of earbuds, but you need to move quickly.

Bose is known for its high-end audio gear, and these earbuds are no exception. CNET’s audio expert David Carnoy praised their «excellent sound and best-in-class noise canceling,» awarding them an Editors’ Choice in 2023. They offer up to six hours of listening time on a full charge and three listening modes that allow you to focus or let more sound in. QuietComfort Ultra earbuds include multipoint connectivity, letting you switch between devices easily.

Need to make important calls or attend video meetings? These earbuds include a microphone that filters out excess noise so you can be heard clearly. You can also use one earbud to listen to your music, audiobooks, podcasts and more if needed. To adjust your settings, all you have to do is download the Bose app and connect these earbuds to your chosen device.

Bose includes multiple tips in different sizes so you can find the right fit. These earbuds are available at this price in four colors.

Why this deal matters

Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds typically cost $299. However, this deal slashes the price by $120 at both Amazon and Adorama, so you’ll only pay $179 — the lowest price ever for these earbuds. We don’t expect this deal to last too long, so now is an excellent time to buy.
