It doesn’t matter if it’s your neighbor’s dogs barking when you’re trying to concentrate on reading, other travelers talking too loudly, or your coworkers barking about last night’s game, a good pair of noise-canceling headphones can block it all out for you. If the AirPods Max are too expensive for your budget (and we don’t blame you), there are plenty of equally good alternatives for much less. For example, the Bose QuietComfort headphones are down to $169 right now, from their usual $359. That’s $190 off, more than 50 percent and the lowest price ever.
Like the AirPods Max, the Bose headphones are great at canceling out the world around you, so you’re not distracted by traffic and conversations. Silent mode blocks everything, while Aware mode lets enough noise back in to keep you safe. These are over-ear headphones, so they are comfortable to wear for long hours thanks to the plush ear cushions that hug your ears. The battery lasts up to 24 hours on a single charge, which is incredible, and if you forgot to plug them in last night, a quick 15-minute charge while you’re getting ready to go out gives you another 2.5 hours of music.
Of course, you’re missing out on Apple-exclusive features like live translation and hearing protection, but if all you want to do is listen to music, these Bose are a fantastic alternative. And at $169, the Bose QuietComfort are a fantastic option, so make sure you don’t miss out on this deal while it’s available.
