The highly rated Bose QuietComfort Ultra noise canceling wireless headphones have recently dropped to a new all-time low. Bose direct, via its official eBay store, is offering certified refurbished units for just $188 with free shipping. This is a $40 price drop compared to last year's Black Friday deal and it retails for $430 new. It also comes with an extended 2 year warranty provided by Allstate. This would make a fantastic gift idea for dad since Father's Day is fast approaching.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones for $188
Certified Refurbished
The QuietComfort Ultra is Bose's highest-end noise-cancelling headphone (this is the gen 1 model). The Ultra is a significant upgrade over the standard QuietComfort headphones both in terms of audio and noise-cancelling performance. It's comparable to heavyweights from other brands like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and the AirPods Max.
Compared to the QuietComfort and its predecessors, the QuietComfort Ultra supports spatial audio for better sound immersion and better passive isolation thanks to redesigned ear cushions that offer a more secure seal. It has been updated to Bluetooth 5.3 and is compatible with SnapDragon Sound, a feature that optimizes sound quality, connection stability, and latency for your streaming audio when the headphone is connected to an Android device.
Other features include an "Aware" mode that picks up ambient noises and amplifies them so that you can listen in on the outside world without having to take off your headphones, dual-hinge design that enables the headphones to fold up and flat for easier portability, a respectable 24 hours of battery life on a single charge, an updated USB Type-C port, and Bluetooth multipoint for simultaneous pairing with up to two devices.
