FULL STORY
======================================================================

We're barely halfway through November, and I've found a headphones deal I 
think is genuinely excellent, and probably worth grabbing instead of waiting 
until Black Friday. You can get the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones for 
$299 (was $429) at Amazon right now, which is the joint-lowest price I've 
ever seen them  and it's on their coolest colors!

Note that these aren't the newer Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen 
that launched just a little while ago  these are the previous model, 
originally from 2024. But I recently re-tested this model against their 
successor  and against the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Sonos Ace and more  and I 
actually rate them as the #1 noise-cancelling headphones to buy right now 
because you can find them at this price in the Black Friday deals .

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Black Friday deal 

This is the lowest price we've ever seen for these headphones  they've hit 
this price before, but never lower. The deal is on the blue and red colors, 
which I think are the coolest  but other colors are only a little more, if 
you want to go more neutral. For this price, these are excellent value 
headphones  their noise cancellation still hasn't been comfortably beaten.

I just went through a process of testing 20 pairs of noise-cancelling 
headphones, at various budget levels, in a series of tests: a hair dryer, a 
microwave, road traffic, and in a caf. I ranked them and scored them in each 
test, and here are the results of the high-end competition for these Bose 
headphones: My scores for elite noise-cancelling headphones

As you can see, I don't think anything did better than them overall for noise 
cancellation  and they cost at least $100 less than the (excellent!) Bose 
QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen or the Sony WH-1000XM6 . 

I wrote TechRadar's original Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones review when 
they launched, and all the praise I lavished on them then still holds: the 
sound is dynamic, expansive, and fun; they're supremely comfortable and 
light; the folding design is useful and they feel premium; and they cut down 
outside sound like you wouldn't believe. 

Only the 24-hour battery life is a bit of a let-down, but I think the vast 
majority of us can live with this, no problem. When it comes to elite noise 
cancellation and beautiful sound for a great value (if, admittedly, still 
expensive) price, this is how I'd spend my own money right now. Shop more of
