Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen Drop to $249 at Amazon — $50 Off All Colors

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen have dropped to $249 at Amazon — a $50 discount off the $299 list price. The deal applies to all five color options: deep plum, desert gold, midnight violet, white smoke, and black. This is the first significant price cut on Bose's latest flagship earbuds.

What's New in the 2nd Gen

• Improved ANC: Smoother, more consistent noise cancellation compared to the first generation
• Cinema Mode: Uses Bose TrueSpatial technology for theater-like immersive audio
• Wireless charging case: Finally adds Qi charging — missing from the original
• AI call quality: SpeechClarity filters out background noise and wind for clearer calls
• Redesigned ear tips: New guard prevents wax buildup

How It Compares

At $249, the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen sit between the AirPods Pro 3 at $199 and the Sony WF-1000XM6 at $279. Bose leads in raw noise cancellation. Sony leads in sound quality. Apple leads in ecosystem integration. At this deal price, Bose closes the value gap significantly.

Should You Buy Now?

If you want the best noise cancellation in earbuds and have been waiting for a price drop, this is a good entry point. The 1st Gen model is available at $179 on Amazon — a steal if you don't need wireless charging or Cinema Mode. Amazon lists this as a limited-time deal. Browse all earbuds in our earbuds comparison.
