Wireless earbuds are a must-have accessory in this day and age, but you'll find that the best models can be pretty pricey without a good deal attached. Fortunately, Amazon is answering our prayers by slashing a straight $50 off the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2), a pair that we called "the best-sounding earbuds" that we've ever used — which is saying a lot considering the quality of Sony's latest models.
Usually priced at $299, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) boast incredible sound with immersive bass and crystal-clear voice quality, plus you get premium features like powerful active noise cancellation (ANC) and gesture controls. Of course, even with a discount, these wireless earbuds aren't cheap, so why should you choose the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra over other models? Let's discuss.
✅Recommended if: you want to use some of the best-sounding noise-cancelling earbuds on the market today; ANC, great sound, and a comfortable fit are the most important details for you when shopping for earbuds.
❌Skip this deal if: you want earbuds with a super-compact and portable charging case; you're looking for a cheap pair of earbuds; battery life and AI integration are the most important details for you when buying earbuds.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) are easy to recommend to almost anyone, but you'll find the earbuds particularly impressive if you prioritize sound quality and active noise cancellation.
Utilizing 9.3mm drivers, the Gen 2 buds boast a neutral sound profile and a ton of options for customization, with support for hi-res audio using aptX Adaptive, spatial audio, and more. The result is immersive sound that's built just for you, not to mention some of the most cutting-edge ANC technology in the business.
Of course, no device is perfect. The earbuds will only last about six hours before you need to use the admittedly bulky charging case (which can add up to 18 hours of additional usage). You also won't get as many integrated AI features as you would with, say, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
Having said that, the best earbuds for you will depend on your habits and priorities. Do you mostly use wireless earbuds as an extension to your Android phone, focusing primarily on call quality and smart assistant features? Then you might want to look elsewhere.
But if you want some of the best sound in the business with cutting-edge noise cancellation and a ton of customizable settings, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) are a great choice, particularly when you slap on a $50 discount.
