Update: This great Black Friday cheap deal continues as of December 9.
Among the best headphone deals going right now is one of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones available for $80 less than their original retail price.
Right now the Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Headphones are on sale for $249 at Amazon. That’s almost 25% off the full retail price of $329 and matches the Black Friday deal price. Although we saw an even cheaper $229 for Cyber Monday, it's still a great saving and makes one of the best noise-cancelling headphones an even better value.
The discounted price is available across all four color options, including black, midnight blue, eclipse grey, and white smoke. Note that a similar discount can also be found at Best Buy and Walmart.
We rank the Bose QuietComfort 45 as some of the best headphones you can buy. And for very good reason, in our Bose QuietComfort 45 review we labeled the slick headphones a “no-brainer for Bose fans who want to swap out their older QC headphones for something more modern, or shoppers who want first-class Bose noise cancellation for a cheaper price than the Bose 700."
In our testing we were impressed by the high-end active noise canceling. In fact, it's some of the best ANC we've experienced on any set of headphones. We also loved the surprisingly useful Bose Music App that can be downloaded for free. The QuietComfort 45 also packs the excellent sound quality that you'd expect from a Bose product.
Other positives worth noting include the highly comfortable fit and the quick connectivity. The one area where the QuietComfort 45 really surpasses its predecessor is battery life. On a single charge, the QuietComfort 45 can deliver 24 hours of listening with ANC enabled. That’s an increase of 4 hours compared to the Bose QuietComfort 35 II. And if you do run low on battery, a speedy 15-minute charge will give you three hours of use, which is very handy in a pinch.
The call quality could be better, and you can't turn off ANC to save even more battery life, but overall you'll be very happy with these headphones.
We thought the Bose QuietComfort 45 were a good deal at full retail price, so at nearly 25% off via this Amazon Black Friday sale, it's even easier to recommend a purchase.
