The Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are down to their lowest price ever, but for a limited time only
Save $164: The first-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are on sale for $265 at Best Buy, netting a $38% discount on the usually $429 headphones. The flash deal is only on for Dec. 15, and only applies to the lunar blue colorway.
What's better than one great post-Black Friday deal on Bose headphones? Two deals.
As of Dec. 15, that's exactly the case as the first generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra are on sale for a record low price of $265. The deal slashes $164 off their $429 list price, but it's only on for a limited time — as a Best Buy flash deal, it's only available through Dec. 15, and only on the lunar blue colorway.
The second generation QC Ultra headphones recently took the top spot as our favorite Bose headphones, but the first generation headphones are still nothing to scoff at. When I compared the two headphones head to head, I did notice the improvements in their comfort, quick connection, and sound quality (though none of the differences are too stark).
However, I did recommend that for getting the best value possible, going for the older headphones might be the best choice, especially if you're on a budget. After all, the first gen headphones set the bar high for noise-cancelling headphones, and are still some of the best in comfort and noise cancellation.
At the time of writing, the second-generation QC Ultras are on sale for $399, making the first generation headphones an impressive $134 cheaper. As for first gen models not at Best Buy, the next best price you can grab them at is $279, then $299.
