But for noise cancelling, you cant go wrong with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2.

We named it the best over-ear headphones for active noise cancelling (ANC)
for its ability to almost entirely banish external sound without altering the sonic character of the headphones, or introducing any sensation of
noise-floor disruption, according to our Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 review .

The Gen 2 version improves on the very excellent first edition Ultras , upgrading its battery (rated 30 hours versus 24 for Gen 1 with ANC turned
on), adding more listening modes and an option to hardwire into a music
source directly.

If youre keen, youll be glad to hear that the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 just hit its all-time low price for Amazon s Mid-Year Sale at AU$508, or 27% off. Save 27% (AU$191.95) Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2: was AU$699.95 now AU$508 at Amazon Spending more than AU$500 on a pair of headphones can be a big ask, but the ANC quality from the QuietComfort Ultra is better than lots of other wireless over-ear headphones, some that cost a lot more than the AU$699.99 RRP. Youre also getting a lightweight and comfortable pair that would make the Ultras perfect for long-haul flights, and it also doesnt hurt that they look really sleek with the addition of a metallic trim. View Deal Aside from the ANC capabilities, the QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 is no slouch with audio quality, too. Our reviewer found that the audio has an even and controlled frequency response and the soundstage it produces is large and defined. They conceded that the Ultra Gen 2s ultimately werent the most detailed headphones around, but acknowledged that being able to hear those imperfections in the first place was just another testament to how well the ANC worked.

The Ultra Gen 2s also feature a folding design, which makes it even better
for travel as its more portable than comparable headphones that dont fold up
( cough Sony and Sennheiser cough ).

If I hadnt already bought a different pair of ANC headphones last year, I would have definitely snapped these up for myself.

If this already discounted price still feels steep, the Gen 1 Ultras are also discounted to AU$399 (or 39% off), which isnt far off its all-time low. If
you dont mind the slightly shorter battery life and youre happy to just stick with Bluetooth, then the Gen 1 is an excellent option too. Today's best Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) deals 399.95 332.71 View Deal 399
