Bose QuietComfort headphones normally retail for $349. As of Nov. 28, they're on sale for $199 in Amazon's Black Friday sale.

While some may consider alternative models like the Apple AirPods Max, which retail for $399 (currently on sale at Amazon), the Bose QC headphones offer comparable performance at nearly half the price.

So far, we've seen the bulk of the deals at Amazon, with headphones and earbuds from Sony and Bose returning to record low prices. In addition to our top picks as of Nov. 20, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, we're also seeing markdowns on brands like Apple, Beats, Jabra, and Google.

And here’s the kicker: these premium headphones are on sale right now for just $199, a serious steal compared to their usual $349 price tag. That's more than 40% off for a pair of cans that have consistently been regarded as some of the best in the business.

If you want more affordable over-ears that don't compromise on quality then consider these Bose QuietComfort Headphones while they are down to a record-low price at Amazon for Black Friday. As with the Ultra version, you get impressive noise cancellation, top-tier audio quality and 24 hours of battery life but in a much more affordable package.

In fact, some of our favourite pairs of headphones and earbuds – including five-star, Award-winning models – have seen dramatic drops in price, with Sony's XM5, Bose's ANC buds and top AirPods now available at their lowest-ever prices yet.
