This isn’t an official Early Prime Deal, but it’s most definitely a prime deal: Amazon’s taking $70 off the price of Bose’s flagship 2nd gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones, which drops them to a $379 price that blows the Apple AirPods Max 2 out of the water. Few if any brands bring the audio bona fides to the table like Bose, so this deal represents an upgrade over virtually any wireless Bluetooth headphones you might be listening to now.
The QuietComfort Ultra sits at the top of Bose’s headphone lineup, a step above the standard QC series and the brand’s direct answer to the Sony XM6 and Apple AirPods Max. The 2nd Gen refresh keeps everything that made the original compelling — best-in-class noise cancellation, plush comfort, and Bose’s Immersive Audio spatial processing — while adding enough new features to make a real case for the upgrade rather than a cosmetic one.

A Mode for All Occasions
The QuietComfort Ultra have several versatile built-in listening modes that are easy to toggle between. Quiet Mode delivers Bose’s superior noise cancellation in its purest form — airplane engines, open-office chatter, and street ambience all fade back considerably. Aware Mode flips that, letting environmental sound through while your audio keeps playing, so you’re not stumbling around half-deaf when you need to catch a gate announcement or a person talking to you. Immersion Mode layers spatial audio processing on top of the noise cancellation, giving music and movies a sense of width and depth that pulls sound out from between your ears and places it around you.
