Get £80 off Bose’s QuietComfort 2 Earbuds in this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days offer

Bose knows a thing or two about noise-cancelling earphones. And there’s good news for listeners looking for a good deal.

While Bose earbuds usually reside at the upper end of the price spectrum, there’s a Prime Big Deal Days discount on Amazon UK right now which makes them much more affordable.

Officially priced at £280, the QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are available now for £200 from Amazon. That’s a rather tasty 23% saving versus the recommended retail price. Bose’s QuietComfort buds were released at the end of 2022, so this is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for the earbuds.

It’s a reduction which puts the QC Earbuds at the same price as the third-gen Apple AirPods, which don’t offer ANC. Plus, it significantly undercuts both editions of the noise-cancelling AirPods Pro.

Back in 2020, we gave the first-gen QuietComfort Earbuds a full five-star rating in our review. The newer QuietComfort Earbuds II carried on this trend, also scoring a perfect five stars. We branded the wireless buds as the brand’s “best effort in a while”, praising the stellar sound and exceptional noise cancellation. The newer QuietComfort Ultra buds have just arrived at the end of 2023, and are a noticeable improvement – but retail for a higher £300.

Natural isolation is excellent, with multiple microphones acting in concert to counteract outside sounds. With 11 levels of ANC on tap in the partner app, the result is a magnificently hushed listening experience. You shouldn’t experience any pressure or hiss in the ear, either. But it’s not all about the quiet.

The QuietComfort Earbuds 2 also perform fantastically when it comes to playback, thanks to 9.3mm drivers. Bassier than you might expect from Bose, the earphones deliver plenty of detail, with a wide soundstage contributing to a really fun listen. Bose reckons you’ll squeeze six hours of listening from the buds, with a further 18 hours from the charging case.
