Bose $279 Noise-Canceling Deal: Why Spending Less on First-Gen Headphones Still Wins
Long flights just got quieter—and cheaper—if you’re willing to skip the newest noise-canceling bells and whistles.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (1st Gen) are currently on sale for $279 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose, matching their lowest price to date. This model offers 24 hours of battery life, best-in-class noise cancellation, and a foldable design ideal for travel.
The second-gen model adds 30-hour battery life, lossless USB-C audio, and improved transparency mode, but the first-gen version retains core functionality at a significantly lower price.
The current sale bundles the Bose headphones with a Tribit StormBox Mini Plus Bluetooth speaker ($29.99) and a Sharge Pixel 140 GaN charger ($79.99).
The Tribit speaker features IPX7 waterproofing and a 3.5mm aux input, while the Sharge charger provides 140W power across three USB-C ports with a retro dot-matrix display. This combination creates a practical travel/entertainment package for under $400.
