The discount is real. Amazon dropped the price on the Bose QuietComfort headphones for its Memorial Day sale. It isn’t just one or two options either. You can pick any of the eleven colors available. Black. Ice Blue. Petal Pink. Moonlight Grey. All of them are the same price today.
That price is $229.
Compared to the usual list tag, that is a savings of $120. It’s a thirty-four percent cut, which feels aggressive enough to make you want to click buy without thinking too hard about it.
“Quiet Mode” silences the world. “Aware Mode” lets the noise back in, so you can hear your train announcements or the dog barking at the door.
If comfort matters to you—and let’s be honest, if you wear them for hours, it should—these have the plush padding down. Ear cushions, padded headband. The goal is to wear them all day and forget they are on your face.
The battery life supports that ambition. Twenty-four hours on a charge is the rated time. Pretty good. If you mess up and forget to plug them in overnight? No panic. Fifteen minutes on the USB-C port buys you another two and a half hours. You won’t be stranded in silence.
You can even use the included audio cable for wired listening if Bluetooth glitches out or the battery dies completely. It keeps things simple.
Are you going to miss it if you wait?
Probably. The price changes when the sale ends, or maybe just because Amazon decides to stop being generous. The article says as of May 21 they are gone at that rate. Or available. Hard to say until the clock ticks further.
The writer, Lois Mackenzie, has written for Mashable and a handful of other spots covering everything from running shoes to earbuds. She knows this gear. Or at least she knows how to check if a deal is legitimate.
So. Black looks clean. Pink is loud.
Your call. The headphones don’t care either way. They just wait on the shelf. Or in the box.
