Description:
I'm really getting my money's worth out of my Bose QuietComforts, and if last year's Prime Day is anything to go by, now's the time to listen out for a
good deal.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

I wear my Bose QuietComfort headphones so often that I'm not sure why I still waste time picking out pretty earrings in the mornings. Theyre a little on
the expensive side at their full price of $359 / 349, but they pay it back in the form of fantastic ANC and great sound, and Im keeping my fingers crossed for a nice price drop this Prime Day.

Last year Amazon US knocked a massive 45% off the list price, taking the Bose QuietComfort headphones down to just $199, which is the cheapest theyve ever been, so we're hoping they'll go even lower this year. In the UK, they
dropped as low as 259 last Prime Day, and we're already seeing them on sale for 249 this year, so again we'll be looking out for even cheaper deals when Prime Day officially gets underway.

True to their name, the QuietComforts are super-comfy to wear, and continue
to be a great fit despite my petite size, which has proven a disadvantage
with some other headphones. Bose seems to have gotten the ear cup padding
just right with the QuietComforts, ensuring that they feel good to wear without overdoing it and compromising the seal, which is something Ive experienced with cheaper alternatives, where excessive padding has affected the fit, leading to gaps, and a rush of ambient noise when I turned my head.

Ive found I get a great seal with the QuietComforts thanks to the snug
design, so theres barely any sound leakage, which enhances the already good ANC performance. These headphones do a great job of cutting out the loud rumblings of trains and buses on journeys, and dampening down ambient sounds in louder environments, so theyve been a real game-changer for me on
commutes.

While the large push-button controls may be a little old-school for some, Im
a big fan of the controls on the QuietComforts. I often find touch controls
on audio headwear to be hit and miss (literally), but the push buttons on my Bose mean I can locate the button I need quickly. I also appreciate the
slider format of the power switch, as it makes it really easy to turn them on and off on the go. (Image credit: Future)

In terms of sound, I'm really happy with the balance even without fiddling with the EQ settings, so Ive had no problems when swapping from podcasts to power ballads. Theres a fantastic level of depth and detail when playing instrumentals like All This Time by From Somewhere Quiet and Adam Dodson, and listening to songs like Smoke by Willyecho is particularly enjoyable, as the QuietComforts are well-versed in delivering deliciously dynamic beats and booming bass without sacrificing vocal clarity.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones may have overtaken the standard QuietComforts as one of the best noise-canceling headphones , but having
tried out both pairs, Im actually happy to compromise on the sound quality
for these best budget Bose headphones , especially when the ANC performance
is pretty similar, and I find the simple button controls on my QuietComforts much easier to use.

I really adore these headphones, and though I may occasionally find myself lusting after prettier alternatives , they just havent compared to my trusty Bose.
