Save on one of our favorite pairs of Bose headphones

Save $100: The Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones are back on sale for their lowest price ever at just $199 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose's website as of Nov. 1. Their list price is $299, so that's a 33% savings.

I don't know about you, but I really appreciate a pair of headphones that can quiet the world around me, and that I can wear comfortably all day long. That's why, as I write this very post, I'm wearing a pair of Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones.

Even better than a quality pair of headphones like this Bose pair? A great deal on them. It just so happens that this fine Monday morning marks the start of Black Friday month, which means the deals are officially here, and these headphones are no exception.

As of Nov. 1, you can grab the Bose QC 35 II headphones for just $199 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose. They've been at this price before, including during Prime Day 2021, so consider this a signal that the Black Friday shopping event has really begun.

If you've somehow avoided the buzz surrounding these headphones (and Bose in general tbh), you don't just have to take my word for how good these headphones are. Our former tech reporter Jake Krol said in his review that these headphones delivered not only impressive sound (as to be expected from Bose), but also impressive noise cancellation. On its high setting, his train ride into Manhattan was "mostly pure silence."

The notable sound quality and active noise cancellation also earned these spots on a list of some of our favorite headphones. If you are a little worried, however, about completely tuning out the world around you, you can also opt to use the low noise-cancellation setting, which dampens the noise but allows some ambient sound to come through. Of course, you can also turn it completely off, which helps you get the most out of its 20-hour battery life, though you still get a ton of listening time if you leave the ANC on high the whole day.

Beyond the listening experience, these headphones are nice and comfy — as I currently write this with them on, I'm also wearing my glasses, and I have zero desire to go throw on my contacts to diminish any squeezing aches and pains. So where do they fall flat? To be honest, the Google Assistant integration is a little iffy, and sometimes switching between devices isn't as easy as it could be.

With that said, $200 for a pair of QC 35 IIs is still an incredible deal — and one that's going to last for a limited time only. Jump on it while you can at Amazon, Best Buy, or Bose.
