Amazon shoppers can now purchase premium Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds at a reduced price, with some reviewers claiming they outperform Apple AirPods. The earbuds, known for their exceptional noise-cancelling capabilities, are currently available with a £50 discount in a limited-time offer.
Ordinarily priced at £179.95 on Amazon, the Bose earbuds have been reduced to £129.95. This discount applies to the black colourway, while the pink, dark blue, and white options are similarly discounted.
These Bluetooth wireless earbuds are renowned for their advanced noise-cancelling technology, providing users with a 'satisfyingly rich listening experience' and 'remarkable sound quality', as stated in the product listing. They offer up to eight and a half hours of listening time on a single charge, with a quick 20-minute charge in the case delivering an additional two hours of playback.
To ensure a comfortable and secure fit, the earbuds come with three sizes of eartips and stability bands. Users can control playback via customisable tap controls, allowing them to pause, play, skip tracks, and more without reaching for their phone.
The earbuds are compatible with the Bose app and can connect to multiple devices simultaneously. For those seeking a more premium option, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Earbuds (2nd Gen) are available at £229.95, down from £299.95 in a separate limited-time deal. This model features exclusive additions, including an immersive audio mode called Cinema Mode, as reported by the Daily Star.
Harriet Morphy-Morris, a Commerce Content Editor, praised the Ultra model in her review for OK! magazine, stating: 'Essentially, amidst a bustling gym setting, it transforms the audio into an all-encompassing experience rather than simply playing in your ears, a level of refinement absent from my ageing Soundsport pair or competing alternatives.' However, she noted minor issues with touch control responsiveness and out-of-ear detection timing.
For budget-conscious buyers, Argos stocks the Sony WF-C510 True Wireless Earbuds for £39.99, offering a 22-hour battery life and marketed as Sony's smallest and lightest earbuds yet.
The first-generation Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds have received high praise from shoppers, earning an average of 4 stars from over 7,800 reviews on Amazon.
One customer commented: 'They sound better and the noise cancelling is at least as good as the QC 2. The Bose ANC is the best I've used so far (though I haven't yet tried Sony earbuds). It's fun to put some loud aircraft cabin white noise on the stereo and feel the background noise, but be able to comfortably listen to music.'
Another reviewer added: 'Fantastic Bose headphones. They're even better than I thought they would be but then all Bose products are amazing. They fit the ear really comfortably, and the noise cancelling is sensational. I have the Apple AirPods, but these top these by far.'
A third reviewer wrote: 'These Bose headphones are brilliant. The sound is crisp, the bass is smooth without being overwhelming, and the noise-cancelling is genuinely impressive - it blocks out background noise better than most. They're lightweight, comfy to wear for hours, and the battery lasts ages.'
However, some customers raised criticisms. One noted: 'A little more fiddly than other earbuds, but once set up and with the right ear tip cover and tips, they are incredibly good. They don't fall out at all, and the music, not as loud as I would prefer, is good quality. The ANC works well, but certainly not 100%.' Another remarked: 'These sound great, I wish they were a little louder as I like my music absolutely blasting, but they are still loud enough.'
The Bose QuietComfort Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds are currently available as part of a limited-time deal on Amazon.
