My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: These Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
There have been plenty of headphones with excellent active noise cancellation (ANC) over the years, but none have reached the standard set by the 2023 Bose QuietComfort Ultra . These are still the best active noise-canceling headphones you can get in 2025 . Right now, you can buy them on Amazon for $219 (originally $299)—the lowest price they’ve ever offered, according to price trackers .
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones received an “outstanding” review from PCMag for not only best-in-class noise canceling, but also excellent sound, Active Aware, spatial audio support, and extensive Bluetooth codec support with AAC and AptX, making them ideal for Android and Apple users. However, they are not perfect. They lack the multipoint connectivity that other high-end headphones at this price point offer, and there’s no wireless charging in the case (if that’s something you care about).
Features are what sets these headphones apart. They have a CustomTune feature that measures the shape of the ear canal to customize the sound and sets the best ANC profile. You can also adapt the changes in the companion app. Bose calls its spatial audio feature “Immersive Audio,” which simulates hearing your surroundings the same way as if you were wearing open-ear headphones . You can also play with the settings for mixing and matching ambient noise and ANC in the Immersive Audio settings in the app.
You’ll get four to six hours of battery life, and another 12 to 18 with the battery case. The headphones are not waterproof, but they are waterproof and have an IPX4 rating , so you can wear them to the gym.
