Score a regularly $299 set of Bose’s flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds down at $169 (Refurb, full warranty)

Reg. $299/$169

For my money, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds remain a top 3 or better option in the noise-cancelling in-ear space. The problem is that it takes quite a bit of money to score these regularly $299 buds. Fortunately, the Bose refurbished program is one of the best out there and it is now offering them down at $169 shipped – they are currently up at full price on Amazon for the record.  

Today’s deal knocks $130 off the list price on a premium set of in-ears to deliver the lowest price we can find from a reputable source. Outside of some YMMV deals and some extremely short-lived Black Friday offers, we very rarely ever see this headphones drop down to $200 new – it is not often we even see them at under $229 to be fair. 

Today’s deal is within $10 of the best price we have tracked on a refurbished set coming straight from the world-class refurb program. And here’s more details on that:

A Certified Refurbished product is one that’s been returned to Bose, for any reason. It’s then thoroughly inspected, tested, and serviced to meet strict Bose sound quality standards — the same as a new product. Appearance is closely examined; products occasionally have minor, nearly imperceptible blemishes. All Refurbished products have the same warranty as new products, and are available only from Bose. Quantities are limited.

I put the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds toe-to-toe with AirPods Pro 2, anything from Beats, and the wonderful Sony XM5 buds that are on sale right now. The ANC is wonderful, they are quite comfortable to wear in my experience and they sound great. The only real knock I have against them is the regular price that is more than all of the aforementioned offerings from the competition, but with today’s deal the purchase proposition is far more digestible.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds features:

Breakthrough spatialized audio for more immersive listening that makes your music feel realer than ever before — no matter the content or source. World-class noise cancellation and sound tailored to you. And a design that feels so good to wear. Say less. (Listen more.) QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are the ultimate wireless noise cancelling earbud experience. Bose Immersive Audio pushes the boundary of what it means to listen by taking what you’re hearing out of your head and placing it in front of you. It sounds so real it’s almost like you could reach out and touch it.
