Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds see a rare temporary price cut to $249, offering premium noise cancellation and advanced features at a reduced cost for discerning audio enthusiasts.
Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dropped to $249, a $50 reduction from their usual $299 price and the lowest level seen in a while. TrustedReviews says the cut is temporary, and it is notable because Bose rarely discounts its premium noise-cancelling earbuds.
The appeal remains the same: class-leading active noise cancellation, supported by Bose’s ActiveSense system, which is designed to smooth sudden bursts of noise rather than simply mute constant background sound. Bose also uses CustomTune to adapt audio and cancellation to the shape of the wearer’s ears, while its immersive audio processing is intended to create a wider, more spacious presentation than standard stereo playback.
That puts the earbuds in the same technical conversation as Bose’s newer QuietComfort hardware elsewhere in its range. According to What Hi-Fi?, the company’s latest QuietComfort headphones borrow features from the Ultra line, including improved noise handling and spatial audio modes. RTINGS says the second-generation Ultra Earbuds remain among the strongest ANC options available, although some software improvements are being shared more widely across Bose’s lineup, which narrows the gap between models.
For buyers weighing value, this discount matters because the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds still bring several high-end conveniences: a secure fit, call-focused microphones, Bluetooth multipoint and up to 6 hours of battery life per charge, with the case extending that further. At full price, they compete with newer rivals on features. At $249, they are easier to justify for anyone who prioritises noise cancellation above all else.
