Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Drop to $249 at Amazon — All 5 Colors on Sale

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) have dropped back to $249 on Amazon — a $50 savings off the $299 list price — and this time all five color options are available at the discounted price. This matches the all-time low for Bose's flagship noise-cancelling earbuds.

What You Get

• ANC: Best-in-class active noise cancellation with ActiveSense technology that smooths sudden loud sounds
• Audio: 9.3mm drivers with aptX Adaptive hi-res audio, spatial audio, and Cinema Mode for video
• AI Calls: AI-based Call Filtering for clearer voice calls
• Battery: 6 hours per charge with wireless charging case
• Rating: IPX4 water and sweat resistance
• Colors: All five — Black, White Smoke, Diamond Blue, Sandstone, and Purple Haze — at $249

How It Compares

At $249, the Bose QC Ultra 2nd Gen sits between the AirPods Pro 3 at $199 and the Sony WF-1000XM6 at $279. Bose leads in noise cancellation, Sony wins on sound quality, and Apple is best for iPhone integration with its hearing aid features. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at $132 offers the best value for Samsung phone users.

What This Means for Buyers

If noise cancellation is your top priority, this is the deal to jump on — the 2nd Gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds offer measurably better ANC than any competitor. The deal may not last long, as previous $249 windows sold out within days. If you prefer the original Bose QC Ultra (1st Gen), those are available at $179 on Amazon — an even better bargain if you don't need the 2nd Gen's aptX Adaptive codec.
